I thought today I would post everything I eat. Maybe it will give me some insight as to why I have such problems with maintaining a healthy weight.

I also ate an apple with lunch.

Dinner

So far everything is going well. However as dinner approached we run into a problem. In my mind I am going to make a couple of hard boiled eggs and serve them on a salad that includes hummus, tomatoes, and a mix of greens. We receive a phone call from our daughter who has been in San Francisco visiting friends. She has taken BART in and plans to come home on the train as well. She gets to Embarcdero station and the train stops and the passengers are told to get off as there is no service due to communications being down in the Trans-bay Tube. Everyone has to find another way home. She decides to take the ferry from SF to Oakland but we will need to pick her up at the ferry terminal there. So dinner goes out the window and we scurry to get to Oakland. An hour and a half later we are all home.

John is rummaging around in the refrigerator and pulls out three left over hot dogs and buns from last week. So he is going to have 2 hot dogs on 2 buns, sauerkraut, and leftover mashed potatoes. I feel like one hotdog on a bun is not enough so I also make a piece of turkey sausage which I put on a hamburger bun. I also make a salad.

We also have some popcorn and a I have a diet soda.

Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
