Autumn Salad ME

After a scant amount of food over the weekend, I decided to be consistent and continue to lighten up on the food since I am still trying lose some weight. The plan was to shoot for heavier breakfasts so that we had the day to get the calories off. But after perusing the cookbook I decided that I could make a lighter dinner tonight and make Michael oatmeal with toast for breakfast this morning. I started the mushroom soup around 3 this afternoon. The soup had the house smelling really rich and creamy. I served it in bread bowls. And it was the best mushroom soup I have ever had. It isn't that difficult to make either.

I changed it up a bit on the salad adding a few things that are harvested in the fall and then I sprinkled a trail mix over the greens. The soup, bread and salad hit the spot. Eating a light breakfast and lunch makes me real hungry come dinnertime. While Michael ate his oatmeal I sipped a 4 oz. glass of orange juice and then didn't eat my breakfast until 10:30 a.m. I ate strawberries and blueberries and then tried not to think about how far away it was until lunch.

When lunch finally came around at 1:00 I had a baked sweet potato and cottage cheese. I'm gonna lose this weight, I'm sure of it.
