Breakfast was Maggie's cereal w/strawberries. Lunch was a chef wing-it special as I had some leftovers to use up. I sauteed onion and green pepper and added some diced pork roast, then I added the last of the shirataki in Welsh Rarebit sauce and heated it. It made for a tasty lunch. Dinner was a lettuce salad w/roma tomato, cucumber, green onion, and stuffed olives and a flattened chicken breast coated with a mixture of ricotta & parmesean cheese and sliced green onions, then covered with some sliced chicked andouille sausage and then rolled. The chicken roll was served over Dreamfield's linguini w/marinara sauce.

My eating has not been so great this week. But, I went to the grocery store tonight and got a slew of produce: apples, cantaloupe, strawberries, salad, bananas (for DD), potatoes (for DH), avacados, and carrots.

I'll bake the ham, make deviled eggs, green bean casserole, potato salad, and fruit salad. DH can eat his nasty old store-bought Key Lime pie, and the potato salad. I'm tired of going to the trouble of making a sugar free, low carb Key Lime pie and him making comments about how it's not as good as the "real thing".

I've given up on trying to get him to eat right. I'm gonna feed him what he wants and let God keep him alive as long as He sees fit. It's not for me to decide. I'm done.

"No one is more blind than he that won't see, and no one is more deaf than he who won't hear." I don't remember who said it, but that's a great quote. I often mutter it under my breath while in the kitchen.

DW and I went out for an after church breakfast. I had cantaloupe and honeydew melon, an omelet w/chorizo sausage, onion, and avacado and a side of sliced tomatoes in lieu of potatoes. Lunch was an after golf leftover special as I added some ham to the last of the cauli-rice pilaf w/onion and mushrooms. Dinner was roast beef, mushrooms sauteed in butter & sherry, twice baked fauxtatoes, asparagus, and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

That dinner sounds marvelous, Henry.

I baked a ham and a green bean casserole. Then I made deviled eggs, potato salad, and fruit salad. I had a small bit of the potatoes, so not too bad. The fruit salad consisted of CarbClever peaches, fresh strawberries, diced apples, and cantaloupe.

You are doing great Maxibee. It is so hard when you have to do it on your own, watching your spouse eat junk while you try to live life the best you can. You are an amazing women - so strong! I know that I will see you at your goal weight. I don't know if I know a more determined person.

Maxi, from your comments I know you are frustrated. However, when you are successful, you provide an example of the benefits of this WOE. You cannot control the choices your husband makes. All you can do is provide that example. He has to want to improve. Give him healthy choices and let him choose, if he continues down that path, about all you can do is make sure his life insurance policy is kept paid-up.

Breakfast was a pork sausage omelet w/onion, celery, and jalepenos. Lunch was stirfried beef and garlic over shredded cabbage. Dinner was roast beef, twice baked fauxtatoes, asparagus, and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Thanks, Heather and Henry.
The life insurance IS automatically drafted on the 10th of the month. It's only 60% of what I have on me. Why? He dips Skoal and smokes the occasional cigar...enough to make him a "tobacco user". Add in the fact he's over 40 and overweight, and he gets alot less coverage for alot more cost. So, I'm trying to be healthy and I've got a bunch of life insurance for cheap....he's not and it's costing us a bundle for what he could get. Watch me get hit by a bus and him live on all the big bucks he'll collect.

It is frustrating to make the effort I make (I could do better), then watch him make little or no effort.....all the while complaining about his aches and pains and ailments.

Just like all those people at work, scoffing at me for bringing my lunch and spraying Lysol on EVERYTHING during the winter months. They were ALL sick at one time or another, every last one of them missed at least a day of work. Me? I'm the idiot drinking green tea and having an apple with my chicken breast and salad. Every day at work...since I was the "last man standing" over the winter. Lots of times it meant extra work for me (and others) when someone was out sick. Now that's fair, huh?

I just wish if people refuse to try to help themselves be healthier, they would just suffer in silence. It would cut down on my constant urge to slap people. (Forgive me, God....but at least I'm honest and have righteous anger.)

Here I am....digressing again.

I had half an avacado at lunch, a salad and some strawberries at dinner. (While DH scarfed down a piece of "real" Key Lime pie.)

A few strawberries with breakfast, sliced apple with lunch, a salad with dinner. Not bad for me, but I could do better.
