Day 14, Friday, June 24, 2011

Breakfast: We had a simple fruit salad of eclipse melon, pineapple, and red grapes.

Snack: My spouse had a banana and I had red grapes that were supposed to be part of my breakfast. I did not have time to finish breakfast so I packed up the grapes and brought them with me.

Lunch: I had an ear of corn and a plum. My spouse had my version of gallo pinto (black beans and long grain brown rice with peppers and garlic). My spouse began to implement grains today because there was an office eating event. To make sure we both stayed on track we both agreed that for him to implement grains one day earlier is better than him straying because there are no other food options available.

Snack: I had a banana and green apple with natural peanut butter. My spouse had a fruit salad.

2nd part of dinner

Dinner: Sweet potato with lime, an ear of corn, black beans, and a side salad of tomato, cilantro, pickles, olives, and onions. The sweet potato was awesome, sweet with all the wonderful caramelized goodness and the lime helped to pull out the wonderful flavors.

Snack: We had a handful of grapes. The sweet potato with lime with last night’s dinner was the perfect amount of food and a normal sized snack was not needed.

Overall: Another one bites the dust, oh I meant another week has come and gone with a great deal of success. We did well even though my spouse started to implement grains back into his diet a day earlier because of an office function. I made a rice and bean dish, my rendition of a Costa Rican dish (gallo pinto) that I sent with my spouse to work. I made the dish so at worst he would have this to eat if the other participants (from his office) brought things on our no-eat list.
