Calorie Countdown - What are you eating on Friday?

Well our picnic on Thurs sort of changed to Stephanie's house because her husband had to work late and we didn't want to be grilling in the dark.  We had fun anyway, and I had lots of fruit salad and tomato salad and some chicken from the grill.  They then surprised me with a cheesecake, which of course I couldn't really eat but I did have 2 bites and some of the berries (strawberries, raspberries and blackberries yum) from the top.  It was nice to see her, she's been my best friend for a long time, in fact I followed her to San Antonio about a year after she moved here.  But now it seems like we only see each other a few times a year.  Growing up sucks.  Only one thing to say really,  I am sooooo glad I don't have 3 boys under the age of 12.  She is super-mom.  So what are you going to eat on Friday?  I am not sure here, but I think I might try the pot roast I didn't want to make yesterday.  Oh, and I am getting over the nausea from my new med so food was a better prospect today.  Messed up as it is, I sort of liked not wanting to eat. 

How's our newest 30-something doing this Friday?  Sounds like you had fun yesterday - cheesecake = yum!!!  At least a couple bites does.  More than that and dump city here I come. 

I can relate to your feelings about your friend - some times our lives just go different directions and we don't have as much time to stay in touch.  I have a couple long-time friends like this and, although we rarely get time together, when we do it's like we just saw each other yesterday.  I really value that, and it sounds like you do as well.  I am also glad I don't have 3 boys under the age of 12!!! 

I'm still having a good food week, although I had more calories that intended on Thursday - I was just hungrier so I ate more.  Scale was still kind this morning, so all in all I'm feeling good about the week.  Here's how I plan to round out my weekday food - edited to reflect lunch choice, change to afternoon snack:

I notice when I have days where my fat count is higher, I definitely have an easier time of it in the bathroom.  And my skin tends to get dry if I go below 30g for more than a couple of days.  Have fun at dinner!
