Okay, my diet is suffering, suffering, suffering… I totally should have waited until after this weekend to start this program.

So let’s get the confession out of the way.

Last night – I was hoping to have some steak, but my dad – who is studying to be a deacon – reminded me that it was Good Friday and should not eat meat. (I’m a lapsed Catholic). They all ordered pizza and I somehow kept the resolve to not eat it. Instead I ate a plain omelette with tomatoes and a 1/3 cup of rice. Unfortunately, I did have some chips & salsa… and then, late at night, my sister made rice krispie treats… and then I ate way too many rice krispie treats.

This morning, I had sausages, tomatoes and rice for breakfast. Then it was Stretch X – which took about 30-40 minutes longer than it should have because we were watching my kids, and my 2 nephews. 4 boys – 5, 3, 3, and 2 years old. Craziness and mayhem.

Then we took the boys sledding. It was cold and windy, but they all had a great time. Zevan was ready to leave and had a tiny tantrum, but shortly afterwards, we were all ready to get warm.

My parents took the little guys, and Doug, the boys and I went out to lunch at Ruby Tuesday. I didn’t get to order my favorite Ruby Minis with fries and salad bar. Instead I ordered a steak and the salad bar. And no Starbucks for me.
Snack today – pumpkin seeds.

For dinner, my mom made her famous beef & broccoli. I had
1 1/2 servings with rice and banana.

Calorically, I’m doing okay, but my choices have been less than optimum. I’m sure I won’t have a loss this week, and I’m not entirely sure there won’t be a gain.
