Day 4

On our way to speech therapy yesterday afternoon, Liam was enjoying his Leapster in the backseat...and I was enjoying my new Train CD. Suddenly, I hear the sound of Liam getting sick...and I mean, getting SICK! I look in my mirror and see his Leapster and his lap covered in it. Oh.my.goodness! What now?! Poor thing was sitting there with his hands up, like, "Clean me, clean me!" and crying because it scared him. So, we pulled into the ONLY gas station on that highway, I grabbed a blanket from the back of the car, cleaned him up a little and we headed back home. No therapy this week :(

This morning when he woke up, he said, "I don't feel quite right." ('Quite right' is his new favorite phrase.) So, no school today either.

So, we are just taking it easy today...and i mean easy.

Breakfast

Detour low-sugar protein bar (I said I wasn't going to eat these every morning, but I actually like them!). 170 calories

1/2 c. skim milk - 50 calories

Lunch

Roasted squash - one piece of squash, sliced length-wise, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with Paula Deen's silly salt, and topped with a little parmesan cheese...under the broiler for about 5 minutes. Easy Peasy! Squash has very few calories, so I'm estimating UP with the oil, seasoning, and cheese and going with 100 calories.

Cheese Toast - one deli thin, topped with low-fat sharp cheddar and under the broiler for 3 minutes. 150 calories

1/2 a pear - 40 calories

Snack

pretzels - 70 calories

Dinner

So when I said we were taking it easy, I had fully planned for us to finish off leftovers or have a lean cuisine. But then as I started looking at what we had, it seemed like it would be just as easy to make some of those wrap pizzas again. And fewer calories than what I was looking at in our fridge. (For example, I grabbed a Smart Ones pizza that is 370 calories - which is on the higher end of what I usually get with a frozen meal. But a homemade wrap pizza is usually less than that and tastes better!)

So...for me, it was a Flat Out sundried tomato wrap pizza with turkey pepperoni, mozzarella and feta cheeses, oregano and ground flax seed sprinkled on the sauce. It was delicious! 320 calories

Before dessert...I'm at 890.

Dessert

Peanut Butter Cup - 1 Tbsp. natural pb melted, 1/2 cup low fat choc. ice cream, sugar free cool whip...swirled it up - yum! 220 calories

TOTAL for the day: 1110 calories
