Day of Rest.

So today was probably not the best day for the diet thing.

Not that I didn't try but its just the meals we have planned are not great for calories. So I had a cup and a half of Multi-Grain Cheerios with a cup of non-fat milk for breakfast. Felt really down in the dumps today. I dunno if its because of the hunger or lack of "normal" calories for me... but I just couldn't look cute today. AND since it was a church day I really wanted to look cute.

So after church we had our lunch/dinner before evening service. For this meal I had Mexican Beans and Tacos. I ate one serving of the beans and 2 servings of tacos. Tacos were pretty generic no recipe just 93% lean ground beef, taco seasoning, crispy taco shells, reduced fat Mexican Cheese from Sargentos, Tapitio Hot Sauce and a dollop of Daisy (Light Sour Cream). Pretty sure that was NOT DIET WORTHY. After the evening service today I had two ladies tell me I look like I lost weight. I think they are just referring to the GIANT pregger belly. I certainly don't FEEL skinnier. LOL... but luckily the only other things I ate today was a snack of the Thrifty Chicken and Broccoli leftovers (about 1/2 a serving.) Oh and 3 scoops of Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

Yea, I am still hungry. AND my husband noted that I am more irritable because of this whole thing. I noticed that when my newborn cries I get really REALLY annoyed. Usually vocally. I get a headache and I want to cry because I don't know whats wrong with my baby and because I am borderline miserable and trying to hide it. LOL...

No exercise today. :O(
