      Today
      2 glasses wine in evening - red wine, one with dinner, one while working

      Dinner - 6 p.m. at table w/family. Leftover shrimp stirfry with rice and veggies. okay. Lukewarm. But still tasty. Felt relaxed, happy. enjoyed the food.

      Snack: in car on way to see house. Hungry! nonfat blueberry greek yogurt, wheat thins, water. Good, satisfying. Energizing.

      Lunch: At Katie's house, sitting at counter in kitchen while kids eating = playdate. Veggie burger on top of salad with celery, carrots, caesar dressing. Delicious. Coffee with soy creamer. Yummy! Water.

      Breakfast - 1 1/2 raisin scones that I made! At table with family. A little strawberry/raspberry jam on the warm scone. Delicious, satisfying. Drank Lipton tea with milk and honey. And had a cup of coffee with half and half. I loved this breakfast. It was satisfying, sweet, but not too much, and delicious.
