Day 2

Day 2 went very well. I did wake up a little hungry, but I figured that would happen given I didn't eat much the day before. I was able to handle it well with a nice dish of Steel Cut Oats for breakfast. I'll share that recipe in a little bit. I felt good about my decision to go down this path again. I felt strong that I was finally trying to do something about my weight. Great motivation, may it continue!

What I ate:
Breakfast
Steel Cut Oatmeal
Cup of cheap-o Chai Tea (I make my own with 1 cup of skim milk, 1 cup of water and steep)
Banana

Lunch:
WW Cheese burger Mini
Cheddar Mini Rice Cakes
Cantaloupe
SF Jell-O snack

Snack:
Fage 0% Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch
Raspberries
SF Jell-O Pudding Snack

Dinner:
Mesquite-Lime marinated Chicken Breast
Salad - w/carrots, a very small amount of shredded cheese and FF Kraft Catalina
Strawberries and Blueberries - YUMMY! So sweet right now!
Milk

Snack:
Skinny Cow Chocolate Cone

I was very full after my afternoon snack. I could have done without the chocolate pudding. But I felt very satisfied all day long.

My Version of Steel Cut Oats - This is a combination of several recipes I've found:

1 cup steel cut oats
4 1/2 cups of water
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
2 TBSP brown sugar
1/2 cup dried fruit (my favorite is blueberries or a mixed berry variety)

Instructions:
Spray the inside of your crock-pot with Pam. Dump all the ingredients in, stir. Cook on Med. over night. Mine usually cooks around 8 or 9 hours.

When I eat it I do add a couple of TBSPs of skim milk and a little Splenda if you want it sweeter.

Enjoy!
