what I ate today.

Last night I indulged moderately at Robin's party - three mojitos, a tiny german chocolate brownie, a bunch of meatballs in bbq sauce.

This morning I read the paper while I ate so I'm not positive what I had, but I think I had three eggs and three pieces of turkey bacon, plus a wedge of canteloupe.

Breakfast was late, so I had a handful of nuts about 1:30, then I went for a walk about 2:15. I ran at least a mile of the way; it felt great.

When I got back I made chocolate chip cookies for Michael's class. I showed amazing restraint and only had maybe two tablespoons of dough, if that (licked the fork, licked my fingers, etc.). I was craving something sweet so I ate that last sugar free chocolate caramel and a handful of nuts.

For supper I was going to make chicken carbonara, but I was out of eggs. So I sauteed the chicken and roasted some cut-up asparagus. When the chicken was done, I threw some chopped garlic and chopped rosemary & thyme in the pan, let it cook for a minute, then poured about a third cup of white wine in the pan to deglaze it. THen I added probably a half cup of cream and about 3/4 cup or so of half & half and let it simmer with the chicken in it. I added salt & pepper and a few spoonfuls of grated parmesan. I served it over noodles for them; I garnished it with the roasted asparagus and crumbled turkey bacon. It was delish.

Now I am having five squares of sugar free milk chocolate.

Since we're out of eggs, I'm not sure what I'll eat in the morning. Maybe I'll have a piece of turkey sausage and a protein drink.
