Omg...I'm feeling very hungry today. I don't know why, but I'm suspicious that it may just be out of boredom. The baby's asleep right now, and my two bigger guys are off fetching groceries at BJ's (super club like Costco), and I'm feeling restless. SO...I'm trying to keep my mind off the kitchen. I took a nice shower, painted my toenails, and playing with my current knitting project, which is a scarf for my 6 yr old son. He won't get to wear it til next year, but oh well. He didn't tell me he wanted it til about a week ago, so he's just gonna have to wait. Or maybe just rock the scarf look for spring, lol.
Food today: I had another smoothie today at about 11am. Same as yesterday. Delish. My two cups of coffee with light chocolate soymilk, no sugar or cream. Lunch is going to be a sweet and spicy cabbage slaw, w/ oranges and sesame oil and chili flakes. Dinner will be the most mainstream, whole grain pasta with meat sauce. I'm using 90% lean beef and regular jarred marinara sauce. Could be healthier, but I'm trying to use up the stuff I have on hand right now.
Update on the moussaka: I liked it except for the eggplant, which came out bitter in some bites. It had kombu in it and I was very nervous that everyone would hate it, but you couldn't even taste it. Kombu is a great source of vitamin D. However, the recipe was very complicated, w/ lots of different components, and it was just "okay", not great, so I don't think I'll make it again. I'm eyeballing the 3 bean chili in the Anti-Aging Plan book. We'll see....for now it's just a process of trial and error to find what works for my family. My 6 yr old HATED the moussaka. He even gave up the prospect of dessert to avoid eating it, which is downright shocking!
So now I'm off to make myself a nice cup of green tea and watch some trash on tv. I'm addicted to reality shows on VH1. It's my guilty pleasure:) How do you fight hunger? Do you get hungry, even? How long before you got used to the lower calorie levels?
