Nothing new and exciting this weekend. Only one meal would go outside of my "norm"... Sunday evening we grilled some chicken on the outside grill. We did Bar-b-que for the family and Plain chicken marinated in Olive Oil for me. For a side dish I ate cous cous with fresh tomato and lime. That was tasty and added some excitement to a relatively boring weekend (dietarily speaking) .

This weekend my wife made a great chicken salad being very careful to make it with ingredients that would conform to my current diet choices. It was delicious.

Unfortunately no one else in the house liked it and she made a lot... so, this weekend my report is going to be pretty short :) I ate a lot of chicken salad on sugar free whole wheat toast.

I also made a small batch of chili with whole wheat pasta, black beans, ground turkey, V8 juice and chili pepper.

Sunday night I went to the store for lunch stuff for the week. While standing at the deli I overheard someone talking about sugar free syrup. My mind raced about french toast.... yum. So, I checked out all the sugar free syrups and bought one with the fewest number of ingredients. It is sweetened with Splenda. I'm not eating much Splenda, but I thought in the syrup on occasion it would be fine. So, I went home and whipped up some french toast.... and I ate to much. I'll not fix so much next time, but the syrup isn't bad. It certainly isn't as good as real thick and rich maple syrup, but it'll do from time to time.

Traveling and Camping

I spent the last four days away from home traveling and camping. It was fun, but not so fun when you are the only one that can't eat McDonald's, hot dogs, mac and cheese, snack crackers and chips.

I ate a lot of sugar free peanut butter and jam sandwiches. I have to admit at one point it all seemed pointless. I wanted to enjoy eating with the family. This is a choice I'm making and I have to believe that it's a good one. When my time frame of six months is over I hope that I can keep some of the changes for they are good ones... but I will also appreciate being able to eat with people again.

Busy Life and Empty Cupboards

I don't feel like I've had time to much of anything! This week my diet hasn't changed much except that I've been eating way more sugar free peanut butter and jam sandwiches than I want :)

We haven't made it to the store and I haven't wavered from my sugar free plan. My past posts will give a good indication of what I'm up too this week.

Another Busy Weekend

Saturday we were busy at the pool. Then in the evening we were getting ready for two of the boys to go to camp in Tyler Texas.

Sunday was a full day of driving.... 5 1/2 hours to Tyler, drop the kids off then 5 1/2 hours back. Wow.

As for the diet... I stayed on track. I didn't have anything new. I packed a cooler with Boar's Head Chicken and diet sodas. I took sugar free whole wheat bread and some sugar free peanut butter and jam.
