Happy Friday! I hope it was a good one for you!

Breakfast: oatmeal with frozen blueberries, and walnuts. Again. Am I stuck in a rut? At least it’s healthy.

Lunch: Knowing dinner may not be the best…A Greek salad with chicken breast. I added some raspberries.

Dinner: Sometimes you have to have fun and go out with friends, but I still made an effort. Italian. Minestrone soup and 2 slices of thin crust pizza with chicken, artichokes, and parmesan. A freshly baked breadstick. How can you resist? At least I didn’t have a bowl of pasta! A small piece of chocolate cake – we split it three ways.

This day wasn’t the best, but I think I did well under the circumstances. The chocolate cake probably wasn’t necessary. It was good, but not that good. Probably not worth it.
