DAY THREE - TOSTADA FOR LUNCH/CHICKEN & VEGGIE ORZO FOR DINNER!

 

Did okay yesterday, but broke down and had plain yogurt, honey & raisins, one of my favs, but I think it's because I simply did not get enough calories during the day. Night-time eating is one of my fails, sadly. I can't go to bed hungry or I'll never sleep, so I end up eating something late at night. ~sigh~ Today I'm going to increase my early evening snacks to see if that will take care of it. I'm trying to stop eating by 8pm so I get a good 13 hours of fasting going. It's such a struggle sometimes, and I hate that I have to get obsessive with food, but that's the life of a diabetic, I guess. I know, whine, whine, whine. I'd much rather have wine, to be honest. So for today...

Breakfast:
2 coffees with half and half
Oatmeal with 1 tsp brown sugar, 2 tsp half and half, and 1 pat butter

Lunch:
