Diabetes - Day 2

I used the plate method again to plan my meals today. My morning started, as always, with my coffee and small glass of OJ before my workout which, today, was an hour long walk. I decided to try and fit my breakfast into the plate model, so I made scrambled eggs and piece of toast, with yogurt on the side. I put Smart Balance and a small amount of pumpkin butter on the toast.















Lunch was cashew curry chicken salad on a bun with leftover vegetable soup and garlic broccoli from yesterday. A perfect plate!
















I raked leaves today for about 2 hours, which was incredibly exhausting! I was dying for my afternoon snack...vanilla Chai tea (no cream or milk added) with Stevia, fruit cocktail, and Wheat Thins with the last of the Gouda cheese (sob).

















We ordered takeout from a Thai restaurant for dinner tonight. I would normally order the Drunken (Spicy) noodles or Pad Thai, but both are almost 100% noodles, and not very appropriate for my current meal planning method. I scoured the menu for the best choice, and decided on a vegetable stir fry with chicken, with the rice on the side so I could control how much of it I had.
















For dessert, I had another bowl of sugar free chocolate pudding (no picture).

Day two, overall , was just as good as day one. The biggest challenge I encountered was choosing something suitable from the Thai takeout place. However, the optimist in me is happy because I got to try something new (and delicious!).
I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I'll be using the exchange list for meal planning. This method is a bit more precise and is much more flexible, and will allow me to more easily include the foods I typically eat (sandwiches with two slices of bread....oatmeal....oh how I've missed you).
