Snack 3 PM
Before a 4 PM meeting, I was suddenly struck by a strong, strong sense of hunger. I knew I needed a combination of fiber and fats to hold me over. Two whole grain Wasa crackers, two tbsp. of hummus, and a handful of grapes did the trick!
Tonight’s plans include a work out and something warm and satisfying for dinner! Future Husband is a little sick and is craving some good old fashioned home cookin‘. See you for dinner!

I forgot about breakfast! How could I–its my favorite meal of the day! 🙂
This morning I had a wonderfully satisfying cup of coffee with half and half and Stevia. I also made a yummy bowl of oatmeal (1/2 milk, 1/2 water, 1 small banana, 7 pecan halves, and 1tbsp of brown sugar).
Snack – 10 AM
Although the oatmeal was yummy, it didn’t hold me over for more than a few hours. I took a break from working and munched on some apricots.
