Hi dad! I know it has been quite some time since we've done this but I think it's time to go back to the blog! It's been a great three years since we've posted on here, and I'm so proud of you for everything you've accomplished then and now! Living a healthy life is never easy and is always a topsy turvy road. It's a struggle for all of us and it doesn't just end when we've hit a "goal." It is something we all have to keep striving for. I think you have been doing great this week, so let me just list yesterday's meals first and you can base today's meals off of that! Lunch and dinner are slightly different to switch things up, and if you want to save your breakfast to eat later in the day you can skip the snack and go right to lunch. Remember your hardboiled eggs I gave you to take to work -- they are a great go to snack!
oh yeah! and I love you! :-)

SNACK: (3pm-4pm) - basically before you leave work

DINNER: (6:30pm-7:30pm)
-1 cup of broccoli (steamed)
-Large salad with cucumber, tomato, green peppers, celery, lettuce, carrot sticks (w/ lowfat vinaigrette)

DESSERT: (9pm)

OK that's it! Stick to this as closely as you can! A good go to in case you can't find a grilled chicken salad wawa salad is a garden salad with the hardboiled eggs I gave you to take to work, plus one wawa cheese stick.
You can also MAKE YOUR OWN salad at Wawa and include only the good stuff. Grilled chicken is your best bet -- the Cobb Salads are loaded with too much junk.
I love you!!!!
