Friday 10/28
No school for Isaiah, and a late morning class for me = waffles! made clean eating waffles (recipe here: http://ifoodreal.com/clean-eating-waffles-recipe/) topped with 1 1/2 tbsp peanut butter. Also, finally found an almond milk I like: Blue Diamond. So, 1 cup chocolate almond milk as well.

Got to go the Cav's game (my mom's work gave her their suite at the Q arena for the night) so I had popcorn (about 4 cups), onion rings from Michael Symon's B Spot Burgers, and roughly 20 oz of Sierra Mist

Total Calories: 1,959 I know this one is nowhere near accurate. But with this game, I knew it wouldn't be.

Monday 10/31

Breakfast: None. My lovely child decided to inform me that his shoe box habitat (which was already made) needed to have a foreground, middle ground, and background. Twenty minutes before we had to leave. *facepalm*
Bonus: my developmental psych professor handed out candy (skittles and lifesavers big ring gummies) for Halloween.

Lunch: Tyson's Honey BBQ chicken tender (4.60 oz) Uncle Ben's whole grain medley rice (1/3 cup, because Uncle Ben's lies when it says one package has 2 servings) and 3 oz carrot chips, and finally the coffee: Eight O'Clock chocolate mint, 1 oz ID Hershey's chocolate caramel, and 1 oz chocolate almond milk

Yum! Coffee!!!

Dinner: With the parents. Stuffed pork chops and mashed potatoes.

You can definitely tell I used a measuring cup for the mashed potatoes - haha. They held the shape really well

Snack: I was craving something spicy, so I had some left over hot wings (baked, from Acme)

Total calories: 1,686

Tuesday (today) 11/1 

Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, with shredded cheddar cheese, Eight O'Clock chocolate mint coffee, 1 tbsp ID Hershey's chocolate caramel, and 1 tbsp chocolate almond milk

I was so hungry I forgot to take a pic of the eggs, and only remembered 3/4 of the way through my coffee.

Lunch: Cheese quesadilla: whole wheat tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese, franks red hot. And 8 oz of Smith's lemonade.


Dinner: TBD. I planned on making acorn squash for dinner, but instead started cleaning the kitchen after making Isaiah's dinner (grilled cheese and applesauce) and now it's too late to start the whole process.
Maybe I'll just have a quick salad. Will update once I've actually eaten.

Snack: 1 oz Snyder's BBQ chips.

Coffee filter for chips, because I'm not going back to a regular coffee maker and I have 6545654132 filters.

Total Calories (so far): 1,201

Tomorrow I'm bringing back one of my favorite posts, so stay tuned.

Edit: No dinner, but I did have some Halloween candy...
