And by rice medley I mean any type of rice that was leftover in the refrigerator. Yesterday we took Sarah to the airport in Ft. Lauderdale. It’s a long boring trip and when we got home, we just wanted something quick and easy. We had some Near East rice pilaf with almonds and some brown rice that we had made during the past week so we microwaved them together and added a fast saute of carrots and asparagus. Then we topped all that with a sprinkling of green onions. Of course I was so ravenous from over-eating all week that I forgot to take a picture.

When I am really into the diet, it is easy to eat properly. My body has expectations about what is coming. But when I eat too much, I set up totally different expectations. I am shooting my blood sugar all over the place and end up starving for the next big meal. I think it will take a few days to calm this down. I plan on helping myself get back on track with lots of exercise and some mini-meals throughout the day. I spend a few minutes every morning planning out the day’s eating and exercise. I write it all down before I do it, not record it after its done. That way I have a responsibility to meet my own expectations. I really don’t like letting myself down. Onward!
