Daily Food Diary – Day 1 of 365

Today marks the first day of  sharing my 2025 food diary.  If you checked in looking for hummus or tofu, you will undoubtedly be disappointed.    This diary is more about tracking my eating habits and making small adjustments as required, than eating food that tastes like navel lint. (Not that I have ever tasted navel lint, hummus, or tofu.. just saying.)

January 1st didn’t follow our typical meal plan,  as it was January 1st we had breakfast a bit later than usual.  Being a Wednesday, I was working around a morning AND an afternoon workout.   AND ….Being a ‘Dart Night’ for Dan, we had a quick and early supper.

Anyway, here goes.  Food Diary Day 1…

(1) cup coffee (to was down my lutein & vitamin D) and to keep from choking on my Advair and Spiriva inhalers

2 egg omelet with ham, cheese, mushrooms, and green onions – light on the salt & pepper

(12) oz. water

Hungry man fried chicken tv dinner (the only Hungry Man that does not contain yeast) with 2 tsp. butter

Dan’s brownie from his Hungry Man dinner

(12) oz. Carbonated water

(1/2) bag extra buttery microwave popcorn*

(8) oz. Water

(2) chocolates

* Full disclosure – I would have eaten more of the popcorn but it is (almost)  the only snack I share with  Molly and she got excited and stuck her head in the bowl. 🀦

August 4th – Home But Not Alone

Dan finished another round of shifts this morning.  He worked for three days and two nights in a row.   As usual, I was left to my own devices.

After Dan left for work yesterday afternoon, I cleaned up from our lunch/supper.   I fed Kat.    I went down the basement stairs to collect the fettuccine that I had accidentally dumped down the staircase.  (It wasn’t cooked πŸ‘).   The time passed and finally I settled down in the livingroom for a quiet evening – not quite alone.

It is funny how much we can appreciate the simplest things in life. I am so grateful for my faithful little friend and the opportunity to share my snack with her. It is so much fun, knowing that she appreciates it as much as I do. 😊

Take care and have a great rest of the day! See you tomorrow! πŸ’ž

Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.
