weekend menu's for Beth

[Guest guest]

I will do the best I can with the weekend menus. I can't remember if I posted Friday's or not, at this point, all I remember is a grilled chicken sandwich Friday night after my stiching group. I knew that weekends would be a challenge. And would take some getting used to after being on a fairly strict schedule of eating all during the week. I couldn't sleep Friday night I was pretty wound up after my stitching group (I always am) and was distressed after learning that Cathie was in hospice. I was up and down most of the night. Saturday: snack at 3 am (I was up and couldn't go back to sleep). due to hunger, not emotional eating 1 piece of toast with 1 tsp butter and jelly 1 cup of 2% milk Breakfast 1 piece of toast with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter 1/2 cup

of canned peaches 1 cup of 2% milk Lunch: Buffet. Tried to use the "plate method" as outlined in the The Choice is Yours to gauge portion size. A salad with about 1 Tablespoon fat free Ranch dressing 1/2 cup of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions in a vingar and oil dressing on the plate: (small dinner size) 1/2 the plate had green beans with bacon, broccoli, and cabbage with bacon bits. 1/4 had mashed potatoes 1/4 had pot roast 1 roll with honey spread small piece of watermelon wedge, about 1/2 cup and about 1/8 cup of cantelope one trip through the line!!!!! for dessert: about 2/3 cup total of sugar-free desserts: jello, choc pudding, with some sugar-free whipped toppong. wanted to celebrate the unofficial results of passing her state nursing

boards. So we went out to eat. I had eaten a few hours before and wasn't sure how to handle it. I ordered a 6 oz steak, baked potato with "the works," and broccoli. All of a sudden, something happened and I couldn't eat much of it. I think it was a grace moment. I had about 2 or 2 1/2 oz of meat, about a cup of broccoli and about 3/4 of the mashed potatoes. I brought the rest home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later that night I was satisfied with 1/2 cup of ice cream. Only a 1/2 cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday: When I got up I wasn't hungry and intended to skip breakfast. But by the time I got ready for church and was on my way, I knew that I needed to eat. I was able to have 1 potato and egg with bacon taco instead of 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I picked up my friend Amy after church and visiting

Cathie. We stopped for lunch and I had 4 cheese sticks, 1 grilled chicken breast, 1 cup of mixed vegetables (zucchini, broccoli, carrots) and 1 cup of mashed poatoes, with a small slice of garlic toast with butter. I brought the other 2 chicken breasts home. For Supper, cooked a delicious baked chicken. I had 1 chicken breast, about 2/3 cup canned peas, and about 1 cup of green beans. The change that occurred here is that I was able to walk away from the table like a normal person and not even pick at the leftover green beans!!!! Snack: 1 brownie with about 6 oz of 2%. milk. I drank at least 64 oz of water both Sat and Sunday. Beth
