Well i'll participate in the "what i ate" part... as i mentioned yesterday I would be trying to attempt fish with some sauteed squash/zucchini. Here is what I ended up with:
Grilled Tilapia with Olive Oil and a Fish seasoning.
Sauteed squash/zucchini with low salt Pappys seasoning.
and a glass of Milk. According to MyFitnessPal, about 350 calories, and I was full. lol
I ate a lot yesterday (it felt like), but it was all healthy (yogurt, weight management oatmeal (higher in protien, fiber, etc), and grapes, then dinner). and I only ate like 1100 calories. MyFitnessPal scolded me for not eating atleast 1200, as I may be starving myself. heh.
edit... oh, and on the "negative news" part.. i cut cable when i moved in Feb. no TV except for netflix/hulu. And we mostly watch the kids shows/cartoons anyway, if we watch anything. But i quit watching the news years ago. I took a class in college about how negative it was, as human nature is drawn to that and all they want is "ratings"... so, no news for me. and very little TV. Im much happier w/o getting lost in the TV shows.. The GF is starting to miss it tho. lol
