Yes, I did have both meat and ice cream today. It was the first day off the challenge and I had them.
For breakfast, I had a PB&J English muffin with a banana, then several hours later, I had a chocolate Cliff bar during our hike a Forest Park today (so that I didn't get crazy low blood sugar). So, the morning wasn't that different.
Lunch was a whole other beast. Literally. I had some peanut chicken soup (way too much chicken) that had a spicy peanut butter base, with a whole bunch of chicken in it. It ate the soup, but skipped most of the chicken. Brian ate the extra chicken. I also had a half turkey sandwich. Once again, way too much turkey. It was nice having the flavors of the meat, but I found there was just too much of it on everything.
For dinner, we had more of the squash lasagne. This time, Brian made a sauce with tomatoes, garlic, onion, red peppers and 1/4 pound of mild Italian sausage. Oh man! That really made the lasagne work. It was no longer dry and it had a better flavor than it did without the sauce. I'd strongly recommend it.
Dessert was a single scoop of Bordeaux Cherry ice cream with some mini chocolate chips. Wow, it was spectacular. I know I shouldn't get so excited about it, but it has been 7 1/2 weeks since I had any ice cream, and I LOVE ice cream. I promise to go easy on it going forward. Cross my heart.
Speaking of, I walked a little over 4 miles today and got all caught up on my word count for my NaNoWriMo novel in a month. It is super fun and I'm really enjoying it.
So that is about it. Thanks for following this blog. I had fun writing it and I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Be happy and healthy!
