I'm (officially) on FULL liquids. Crazy how that opens up all kinds of menu options when you've been mostly on clear liquids. I had some Cream of Wheat this morning with my tea. I was able to eat about 1/8 of a serving, thinned out a lot with extra milk. But it was really good.
Last night I adapted an idea from LBT and blended lowfat cottage cheese (allowed on full liquids) into a V8 roasted red pepper soup and then thinned it out a bit with some chicken stock. Result: DELICIOUS, creamy, protein-filled soup. Highly recommend it.
This morning I was awakened at 6.10 am by DS2, who in his four and a half years has virtually never wavered on his wakeup time. The kid has an unbelievable body clock, and almost always wakes up between 5.30 and 6 am, no matter when he goes to bed. As soon as he could identify numbers, we put a clock in his room and told him he couldn't come get us until SIX-OH-OH. He was a tad late this morning because he had to get dressed first.
So I've already gotten through my mug of tea and a few bites of Cream of Wheat.
Have a skinny day everyone, and good luck to Vanessa for her first day back at work!
Isn't it the best thing ever starting on those mushies!! Sounds like everything is under control and you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteToo funny-- we posted "6-0-0" to for my DS! But now he is turning into more of a later sleeping like his daddy (I am all kinds of a morning person...) Thanks for the shout out, return to work was a bit of a rough landing for part of the day, but I am doing better now at 2:40pm. Cannot wait to go home though...
ReplyDeleteI remember starting mushies. Cream of Wheat was so good and runny mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
