Still Tweaking Normal Diet

I think this is the last day of eating regular, before I can start the military diet again.  I lose track.  I guess I should have written it on the calendar.  I don't think one day will matter. 

For breakfast, I had one small apple chunked with cinnamon on it.  Cinnamon is supposed to be a cancer fighting spice.  Everything helps.  Then for lunch I had 2 servings of canned oysters on my allowed 8 crackers and a half cup of cottage cheese.  No snacks today.  I made regular tea, with no sweetener added.  For dinner, I'm having 5 oz of tilapia on the grill with homemade picco de gallo (no avocado), 1 cup of wild rice, 1 cup of tomato, cucumber, pepper salad with a small amount of vinegar dressing.  Today I only drank coffee, tea or water.  We'll see how tomorrow goes.

My son was talking to his friend, who is on a diet.  Before anyone goes ballistic, he was overweight, so his dad put him on a diet of sensible eating, just cutting out the junk and carbs, and no snacking in between meals.  He is allowed diet sodas and drinks, but I just told my son it made me crave more food.  I would suggest cutting out the drinks period.  He told him about my diet and how much I've lost.  I think he's at his sticking point.  He only wants to lose about 14 more pounds.  He's done really good, and is looking good.

Well, I ended up with only 3 oz of fish because there was less there than we thought. I had 1-1/3 cup salad instead.  This gave me enough calories left over for 2 ice cream bars.  It's probably the Splenda in the dressing.
