Binge

I was laying here tonight feeling extremly gluteanous and guilty. Today started well with a light breakfast, I hit the gym, had 10 glasses of water in before lunch and had a healthy lunch...It did not however end well. I worked a 13 hr day where I was stuck in my bosses house (I am a caregiver and take care of a women with alzheimers) and she bought a cheesecake, a coffee cake, cherry pie and ice cream. I took ms Eleanor ( not her real name changed for her privacy) to dinner at Texas Roadhouse where I proceded to eat an entire basket of rolls to myself, a cup of chili, chicken and a sweet potato. I was really hoping to break the 400 lb line this week, obviously since Monday is just one day away I do not see this happening. I need some support and a big ol kick in the ass (pardon my french).

Dole fruit Crisps

I recently tried dole fruit crisps (apple cinnamon flavor) I saw them at the grocery store. They are new and I loved the idea of a healthy dessert at only 160 calories! As soon as I got home I popped one in the microwave, put the topping on and voila! 20 seconds to a great dessert. I love that they are not sugar free so no after taste and it tastes just like the real thing.

Mixed Berry Oatmeal

This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes, I even love it when I'm not watching what I'm eating.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup quick oats ( I like meijers natural brand)

• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tbsp cinnamon (adjust to your taste)
• 1/4 cup blackberries
• 1/4 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup strawberries
