A quick lunch: Hard-boiled eggs, whole wheat bread, fresh mozzarella, spinach, baby carrots, and strawberries.

Day One hundred and thirty-six

Lunch: Another batch of garden vegetable soup, this time I tossed in some egg noodles (leftover from the chicken marsala), and a little turkey. Everyone here loves this soup, and I think I am addicted to it. Thank goodness it is so healthy!!

Dinner A: Mini cheese ravioli with marinara sauce, blanched spinach, and turkey bacon. Yes, I am aware that turkey bacon doesn't go with pasta, and that this is THE most random meal, but there is a reason. We were planning to have breakfast for dinner and I'd already thawed the turkey bacon, and then we were in the mood for pasta.

Dinner B: Actual breakfast for dinner (my husband still wanted it, so he carried it through). Eggs-over-easy with cheese, spinach, and turkey bacon, served on a whole grain bagel thin.

Day One hundred and five

Dinner: Turkey cheeseburgers topped with turkey bacon and sliced avocado, steamed veggies, steak fries, and oranges.

Breakfast: French toast sticks, turkey bacon, pineapple, and grapes

Cheddar biscuits (think Red Lobster biscuits, but these are half whole wheat and all natural; recipe: Fix, Freeze, Feast)

Dinner: Cheese fondue, grilled chicken, steamed veggies, and cheddar biscuits

Last but not least, fruit salad. My husband made this- mangos, strawberries, and blueberries

Day Sixty

Yogurt. I tried something new and made it in the toaster... it worked!

Dinner: Cheesy whole grain rotini (with turkey bacon and peas; recipe: Cooking Light), pretzel rolls (compliments of my friend Christie- these were so good!), salad, and grapes.
