Day 48: Carbtopia and Junk Food Mule-ism

Today I was at my brother's yard sale and noted that it's hard to keep track of what you eat when you're always coming and going. At one point I was "slopping" four kids with pizza, potato chips and milk (except Ruby who wanted water. I always regarded people who want milk with lunch warily) and realized I was like a drug mule but for non SoBe diet foods, simply bringing the carbs (pizza), fat (chips) and lactose (milk) to folks who wanted it without partaking of any myself. Then I came home and continued my mule-ism by making noodles for Ruby and giving her ice cream for dessert. As Charlie Brown would say, *sigh.*


Breakfast
Two Eggs (Broke 1 Yolk in the pan, then broke the WHITE when flipping it—a total mess)
2 Strips Jennie O TB
Tea

Snacks
1 Joy Stick (0 Net Carbs)
2 Cheese Sticks
20 Peanuts
1/2 Granny Smith Apple

Lunch
1/2 Salad with Chicken Kebab
3 Steak Tips
Topping from 1 Slice Pizza Pizza

Dinner
1 Cup Whole Wheat Pasta
with Pesto
Tuna


So even though I have eaten a few carby things (cereal, whole wheat bread) I had hesitated to go to Pasta because somehow I felt it was—I don't know—more controversial. Without much in the ol' fridge tonight except for some Pesto I made, I decide tonight would be the night I tried pasta for the first time in 47 days. I have to say, it WAS GOOD. Unlike the 'wheated up' cereal or bread, which tastes different, and often not as good as the processed horrors that we grew up with, the whole wheat pasta actually tasted a little better. I weighed out my portion from the cooked quantity and I was quite full. An excellent lunch choice. I might keep that in the rotation (if the next weigh-in allows). I was in Carbtopia, and it was good to be back.
