Breakfast: Cheddar + tomato omelette, usual toast, usual coffee (2 mugs)
Cappuccino stop: I had a follow-up appointment with the podiatrist, and I had a little time to enjoy a double cappuccino at my favorite coffee place, 3 Bees Coffee in San Mateo.
Hello, Bee! (We have to fake our icicles here.)
Pre-workout: I knew I'd need good fuel for L's torture today, aka "Chisel" class, so I had 2% Greek-style yogurt, a Cutie orange, and some walnuts. (Sorry, this looks pretty gross.)
Workout: I warned L that I might not be able to keep up on the legs today, but it went pretty well. I have a little soreness in the shins on both legs, but it's mild and we didn't do anything high-impact. My knees tolerated the plies, lunges, and one-legged deadlift routine just fine. I took along a bottle of low-sugar sports drink and I think that helps quite a lot in this class. We get very sweaty!
Lunch: I ate this while waiting for my pork and green beans to cook.
To answer your question, Debby, this was an impulse buy. I got a pack of these because they are low calorie and chocolatey but also sugar free. I do like "real" food better, too, but this was sure convenient. What makes me laugh is that I have a few packages of make-it-yourself Jell-O sugar-free and fat-free puddings (chocolate and banana) languishing in my cupboard...apparently "add milk and stir" was too taxing, so I had to buy the individually packaged, ready-to-eat ones. (Sheesh, what kind of crunchy-green California girl am I?!?! ;-D )

2 oz. pork tenderloin with about 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce (lower carb), 1 cup green beans in hot & sour broth (Better than Bouillon, a few shakes of Tapatilo sauce, and some rice wine vinegar), and an apple.
And 12 pecans. You know I really wanted to be chugging these by the handful.
This held me nicely over until dinner.
Thing 2 helped me prepare dinner and took the photos.
Dinner: 1 cup of nonfat milk, about 2 cups of cauliflower with 1 tsp olive oil + garlic powder + lemon pepper, a low carb tortilla cheese quesadilla, and some salsa.
I had 29 calories left. This allowed me 2 turkey meat-doggies (not shown), which is almost more of a tease. Oh well.
ACTION CAULIFLOWER!!!

I've been fairly well-satisfied at this level, once I upped my veggies. My tummy is still a bit hungry-feeling at night, but not too bad.
Scenes of the season: Here's our tree! It's artificial (of course) and we replaced our old one last year after 1/2 the lights went out and Mr. Handsome-and-Handy spent 4 hours trying to replace bulbs. This one is skinnier than our other one, so it fits a little better in our small house. It went up in about 10 minutes (all we had to do was put together the 3 segments, fold down the branches, and fluff them a little. The Things swarmed it for another 15 minutes, and voila!
Like Biz, I love snowmen! You'll find more of them than any other ornament.
Here's my favorite snowman!
Great tree! And great eats! Love the greek yogurt with mix-ins. Hmmm. If I had 29 calories left, meat doggies would not be the first thing that came to mind LOL!
