I loved my dinner so much, I ate it too fast to take a photo of it, I made a change up, instead of a salad on a plate, it was more like a salad in a sandwich. It was really yummy. I had my major protein, fat, and dairy in this sandwich, which I am sure why it was so good.
I toasted two pieces of whole wheat bread, used about a teaspoon of olive oil mayo, (which by the way, is really good, and so worth getting, it is great in salads, in dressings, all sorts of things, and less fat than normal mayo). I also added a bunch of mustard, and a few shakes of hot sauce. I heated up four thin slices of ham, added two (also thin) slices of mozzarella cheese, with some sliced hard boiled eggs. I told you this had all my fat and protein for the day. I then topped it all off with salad greens, tomato slices and fresh squeezed lime juice.
It was heaven. I loved every bite. I know I am about to have a fantastic visit from my favorite family member any day now, my always reliable Aunt Flo, so I need the extra Iron. Go Protein!!
I am going to be honest, I did cave and ate some cake yesterday, I had it left over from my son's birthday on tuesday, which I did really well with considering it is me, and I love cake and ice cream, who really doesn't? Maybe someone completely lactose intolerant, which I am not, so get out of my way and let me get my dairy on. But really I had maybe a 1/4 cup of the stuff, which is way better than my cereal bowl full serving. But since I frosted the cake, and we all know that would take way too much will power to not lick a finger or two, I skipped frosting with my piece with the family.
But yesterday, I was at my whits end, naughty babies, snarky teenagers, and too much housework, pushed me over the edge. So I decided to let go of that strangling will power and ate a nice big piece of yummy, lovely chocolate cake with lots of frosting and candy. And I have to say, damn, I make an awesome cake. All sorts of stress just melted away. But that isn't the type of eating I condone, but sometimes you got to let go, you can only have so much will power.
I always mess with the box cake, I leave out the oil, add yogurt, this time I used light red velvet cake flavor, and I used one less egg, but I knew I was going to be building it up, so I added just two tablespoons of oil, to help make it firmer. But to counter act the yogurt taste my hubs always notices, I added a touch of baking cocoa, and I think that really put it over the top, gave it a super chocolate taste, we all loved.
I am thinking that maybe I need to allow for one more additional cheat meal through out the week, at least to keep me from being all stabby when Aunt Flo shows up, for some reason that bitch makes me want to hurt people.
