I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. merryperseis came over to join purpleglitter and I in the livingroom. She had never seen our new place before and she arrived with perfect timing – just 10 minutes before dinner

I cooked portobello and artichoke stuffing, corn on the cob, baked homemade macaroni and cheese, edamame, and a pumpkin and carrot pie that turned out to be more of a pumpkin and carrot pudding — but still quite good, if I do say so myself. We all stuffed ourselves silly and had a good and mellow evening. Good company and too much food is how Thanksgiving is meant to be.

Success! For breakfast I had macaroni and cheese laced with broccoli bits, for lunch I had samosa chole chat; for dinner I had linguine in a tomatoed alfredo sauce; for my healthy snack I had 3 mandarins. I got plenty of exercise walking home from merryperseis's place. No junk food.

Yesterday for breakfast I had masala ramen, for lunch I had pink beans in a coconut mustard sauce on naan, for dinner I had grilled portabella on a bun preceded by bread and macaroni and cheese balls, I didn't have a healthy snack. I had faux buttered popcorn at the movies with zarthon and purpleglitter and I didn't get any exercise.

Yesterday, for breakfast I had pizza, for lunch I had faux duck ramen, for dinner I had mac and cheese and black beans, for my healthy snack I had bean curd jerky. I got in a 40 minute walk after 11:00pm, fulfilling my exercise quota.

4 successful days.

For breakfast I had faux duck ramen, for lunch I had mac and cheese with black beans, for dinner I had tomatoe soup with mozzarella cheese, and for my healthy snack I had wasabi peas.

I got in more than enough exercise in a long walk that took me down Mass Ave to a tree-lined trail along the sludge river, then over Clarendon Hill, through Teele Square, and finally to Davis where I got a french soda at the Diesel Café.

Success again. Perhaps this is lucky 13.

I did it! For breakfast yesterday I had spinach and cheese stuffed ravioli in tomatoe sauce with mushrooms and parmesan, for lunch I had spaghetti o's, for dinner I had mac and cheese, and for my healthy snack I had a pickle. I got in my exercise by walking to Davis Square. Finally. Now to see if I can repeat yesterday.

For breakfast yesterday I had rotini with tomatoe sauce and parmesan cheese, for lunch I had spaghetti o's with american cheese, for dinner I had baked Berv's Quick and Easy Macaroni and Cheese, and for my healthy snack I had mixed nuts. I got in my 30 minutes of exercise walking around Arlington with iamacliche.

A bit heavy on the pasta, I know, however it was a successful day! purpleglitter and I may make my baked macaroni and cheese a Sunday night tradition.

It is awfully late in the day to be posting this, but here is yesterday's Project Three Meals. Exercise went wonderfully. Got in a good three fourths an hour wandering around looking for kyrene's party. Foodwise, well, I ate a lot and a lot of it wasn't healthy: macaroni and cheese with purpleglitter; bean and rice pilaf, cream puffs, cheese and crackers, marinated mozzarella, cheese-its, patatoe chips, triple chocolate cake, apples dipped in caramelly goodness, ricotta and spinach pierogies, ass kicking peanuts, chocolate cream pie, and other assorted foodstuffs at the party. So yeah, I guess I'll count that as a day I didn't make it.

As predicted, yesterday follow the plan to well and I'll make the same prediction for today and tomorrow because of planned activities. Monday hopefully I should be back on track. Anyway here's the damage:

No exercise. Macaroni and cheese for breakfast, Rotini with tomatoe sauce and cheese for lunch, bean quesadilla for dinner, and fruit with dip at purpleglitter's birthday party for my healthy snack. My unhealthy snacks were key lime pie (purpleglitter's birthday "cake"), pre-popped buttered popcorn, and a Milky Way candy bar.

A bit of a recovery from yesterday, but still no exercise. For breakfast I had a microwave pizza, for lunch macaroni and cheese, for dinner bhindi masala with rice. I had two snacks, neither of particularly healthy: corn nuts and a Lidnt white chocolate truffle.

Improvement, but still not satisfactory.

i had spaghetti in tomatoe sauce with mushrooms and parmesan cheese for breakfast
macaroni and cheese for lunch
cheese enchiladas for dinner
no healthy snack
no exercise
and i ate most of a large popcorn while watching finding neverland
i'm not doing very well at project three meals
i can't give up
my endocrinologist warned me about diabetes
i've really gotta watch it
i feel like such a failure
i can't seem to do it
i really want to, but i have no willpower
i hate myself
i can't take care of myself
fuck me

I ate two packets of masala ramen for breakfast, aloo tikki chat for lunch, and macaroni and cheese for dinner. However instead of a healthy snack I ate candy and I only got in 15 minutes of walking. I can do better.

I almost made it today. I had 2 soft boiled eggs for breakfast, Mac & Cheese for lunch, and raisins for my healthy snack. But for dinner I had a Burger King veggie burger with fries with dicotomygrrl. It would have been a reasonable meal if I skipped the fries. I also didn't do my half hour of exersize. I need to do better tomorrow.

Did much better today. Almost made it. I've decided not to count incidental foods such as lollipops at the bank and 15 calorie sugar-free popsicles at purpleglitter's. I ate mac 'n cheese for breakfast, ramen for lunch, mac 'n cheese again for dinner and sunflower seeds as my healthy snack. I did eat some cookie substance, and that is what I missed the goal by.

finished packing the books
now i'm making some mac and cheese
then i'm going to shave
head to the bank
pick up some paper towels and cleaning supplies
and head back to the house_of_clocks
fun fun
at least i'm getting stuff done
