I have either been having a banana and coffee for breakfast, or oatmeal and coffee.  I am SO not a breakfast eater, and I know I should be.  So I am doing my best and at least forcing myself to eat something along with my coffee.  Today it was a banana.  For lunch today I ate a tomato sandwich on whole what bread with pepper jack cheese, and another banana.  Then I snacked on some cherries...

....and dinner.... sweet potato, mushrooms and onions cooked in a small amount of olive oil and a salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, garbonzo beans, and feta.

Yogurt is not one of my favorite foods, unless made into tzatziki sauce and served with falafels (delicious!).  I know it is good for me, plus I need the calcium and protein - so on my quest for a healthier me...I'm eating it!  These tiny 4 oz servings of Greek yogurt have 10 grams of protein!  I am excited about that, what a great amount of protein in such a small container.  It actually tasted pretty good after the first few bites.  Like I said, I'm not a fan of yogurt....so I had to get past that "flavor".  It wasn't too bad, I actually kind of liked it by the last bite.  I'm happy to report it did not upset my stomach the way Activia does.

I need to decide what day will be my weigh in day, I only do it once a week...otherwise it becomes an obsession....and the scale does NOT define who I am!  So, we'll see...maybe Monday or Tuesday.
