New life-style take 2 (or days 2, 3 & 4)

I was blessed to attend a Women of Faith conference this weekend so I haven't been posting my menus. I did record Thursday's menu before I left but I never posted it. I made a list of ideas for my dh to feed the kids and I believe they followed it so I've listed those days menus as well. I was home for dinner Saturday evening so I know that meal's correct.

I'm also very happy to report that I stuck to the program while I was gone eating only the parts of my box lunches that were wheat free and making good choices at Duke's Chowder House where my wonderful traveling group ate dinner and the Silver Cloud where we stayed and were served breakfast.

Breakfast:
oatmeal with sliced bananas, granola and almond milk
orange juice

3 rainier cherries

1 T raw sesame seeds

I am happy to report that the kids are starting to take the focus on what they are not allowed to eat and moving it toward what they are allowed to eat. Ahhhh...progress.

Here's an interesting note: I started this post on Thursday and even though I'm not actually posting it until Sunday, it's still giving it the date of Thursday. If anyone knows how I can change that...leave me a comment. ;o)
