Today’s eating went OK even with the couple of snags that I have hit. I forgot to pack my protein shake powder in the morning so I had to mooch off of a co-worker. Lucky for me there are two guys at work who also use protein supplements in their diet so they could help me out. But honestly, I’ll just take a stash of protein to work next week that way I always have it just in case I need it. I also ran out of Luna bars at work and forgot to take any new ones so I had to get a replacement from the grocery store at lunch. It was OK as I had to go to the bank anyway and I hat do get spinach for my spinach salad too so it was a three birds with one stone situation. I also bought a couple of bags of frozen vegetables while I was there and replenished my supplies at work. I should be set on veggies for the next week for lunch. All I need to bring is the meat and rice.

For dinner  was going to eat a burger patty with rice and vegetables but my wife said she made nothing for the rest of the family so she wanted to go out. Since I blew through most of my calories for the day by then and I only had about 410 calories left for dinner I was in a serious bind. But then I ended up being OK when we decided to go to the Chinese buffet that also serves Mongolian grill. I had the same thing I had last time: shrimp, mushrooms, bean sprouts and squash in teryaki sauce. My 18 month old daughter ate almost as much shrimp as I did, she really loves to eat whatever daddy is eating. It’s really great. My son battled with broccoli and green beans but it went better than usual, he actually ate most of it. All in all it was a good dinner. I closed with some fruits while my son had Jell-o and my daughter had tapioca pudding. My wife just got braces put on this week so for her it was a pretty painful experience as her entire mouth is in pain. She can’t really chew right now so she tried her luck with noodles and broccoli but had a tough time with it.
