I got my computer to work, so here I am.
Breakfast: 1 slice whole wheat cinnamon bread, 12 cherries, 1/2 c. yogurt
Lunch: Banana, 8 baby carrots, 1 slice whole wheat bread, 2 oz. swiss cheese, beet dip
Snack: 1 slice whole wheat cinnamon bread, 12 cherries
Dinner: 3 oz. sausage, 1 c. whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce, 1 1/2 c. sauted zucchini
Sweet: 1 chocolate
I felt a bit less discouraged about this plan today. My dinner felt very satisfying. I definitely need to get some groceries so that I have a bit more variety in my eating. I was beginning to get bored with bread and cherries and carrots. Truthfully, I don't find vegetables very interesting. I hope that changes as we go along here. Oh, I also walked yesterday and today, as well as taking my vitamins.
Today's reason for losing weight: I think that I'll have more energy when I am at my proper weight.

Thanks, Chris! I appreciate the encouragement. I'll have to pick up the things for the recipe. Do you think I can use frozen corn?
Frozen corn work just fine (I've used it when we've been out of canned corn). I hope you're having a successful day!
