What I forgot

I don't know where my mind was yesterday.  I did have a post that I had been meaning to write and I totally blanked it. We took a 5-day road trip to our daughter and son-in-law's house, 10 hours away.  My eating was fabulous.  Except for a short incident of eating pita chips (one of the incidents included in yesterday's post), my eating was great.  During the drive, I ate shredded chicken chili with sour cream that I had made and frozen in advance and put in a cooler full of ice.  I let it sit out and when lunch or dinner time came, it was thawed and ready to go.  I am lucky in that it doesn't matter to me if I eat it hot or cold.  My husband had KFC, the best choice for his diabetes, he decided.  I also had baby carrots and grapes with me.

At our daughter's, we were babysitting and they were going to work, so we didn't do any eating out.  I had my usual egg and vegetable and sausage breakfast.  For lunch it was edamame, leftover meat or roasted garbanzos and of course fruits and vegetables.  For dinner it was chicken or steak and salad.  My biggest thrill was the when there is nothing much to choose from, having edamame and garbanzos on hand do the job just fine!  For salad, I could have just used their dressings for points, but since I had plain yogurt, I made the dressing I have been using at home:  yogurt, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, basil, garlic.  Just took a second to make, and only one point.

Score!
