Another generally good day. Nothing spectacular.
I went visiting teaching in the morning and my companion's daugher offered to watch the 3 oldest kids. To make sure we kept to our challenge, I packed snack foods.
In the afternoon, we headed to the doctor. Riley had been fussy for several days. She had an ear infection in her left ear and her right ear was gearing up for one!
Later, I met Spencer at the movie theater and he and the girls saw "The Avengers". I had packed a bag of nuts and two apples, but they forgot to take them with them. So...about 5 minutes after they sit down, the girls are STARVING! Spencer bought popcorn (no butter) and a bottle of water. They starved through the entire movie anyway...but I was way proud that he stuck to the diet.
Spencer has lots 5 pounds so far...just from a tiny shift in our diet!!!
While they were at the movie, I was home with a fussy baby and a crazy toddler. I straightened the downstairs. And then really, REALLY wanted to order a pizza!!!!
I've realized that the times I am most tempted to "quit" are when either
1. I'm really hungery
or
2. The kitchen is a mess.
So...I sat on the couch and ate a snack. Then I made 2 loaves of bread (since we were out, I knew we'd need it tomorrow, and I wouldn't have anytime the next day.) Then I cleaned the kitchen.
When the other 1/2 of the family go home, we whipped up dinner. We cut the beef roast into "steaks" and grilled them. Added some veggies and we ate pretty well!
Breakfast:
Eggs and creal.
Lunch:
Apples, grapes, PBJ
Dinner:
"Steak"
Potatoes
Leftover Cauiflower
No picture...it was too late and we were too hungry!
