Day Three: Groundhog Day

My mornings feel a little bit like the movie Groundhog Day right now. Exact same routine every single day.

Peacefully enjoying some REM sleep, I'm always woken up by the sound of my youngest child screaming to let me know that I haven't anticipated her wake-up and been there to greet her with a smile. Once she's changed and fed I hand her over to my husband who groggily opens his eyes enough to make sure she's not eating paint or playdoh - which has happened on many occasions.

After my shower and morning rituals I come down and have a glass of water and a large bowl of oatmeal with ground flax, ground almonds, raisins and a bit of honey.

Every.
Single.
Day. 

This is why I stopped eating oatmeal previously. I just got too bored. I might have to start switching things up a bit, and it's only day three.

Anyway, yesterday I didn't get a chance to come back to the blog because I went out for a night on the town with some girlfriends - it was so nice to dress up and have drinks (yes, I had one drink) and real conversation with people other then my three year old.

I was great all day and tried to be somewhat "good" at dinner, although I don't think Tosca would approve of my bellini and chicken and veggie rice bowl - I imagine she would have been good and had the pork lettuce wraps with a glass of lemon ice-water.

No shred again because of the night out - however on the scale this morning I'm down 3lbs already! Probably water weight, but hey, I'll take it. At least it's moving in the right direction. I won't count it until next Monday when I do an "official" weigh in, but it's something.

On to today:

Breakfast: glass of water and large bowl of oatmeal, flax, almonds, raisins and a bit of honey.
Banana

Snack 1: Carrots and hummus

Lunch: 1 slice of whole wheat toast with tuna, feta cheese and mint leaves

Snack 2: Grapes

Now my little boy is requesting to make cookies - Save me!
