I notice in looking back over my meals that I’m not doing as well as I should for the food pyramid thing. Overall I think I’m getting enough protein, some days less but like today I had to much. I’m doing pretty good on the vegetables. I put a lot in my salads - peppers, cucumber, carrots, broccoli. Grains I do better good on also. Where I’m really bad is fruit & dairy. The funny thing is that I like fruit, I just forget to eat it. I’m going to start eating cereal more often, that way I’ll get a cup of milk in the morning (& I won’t throw so much away). I bought some calcium tablets today & the clerk - who was about 25 years old - said that after age 26 you are supposed to have 500 milligrams a day. I was going to say I was in big trouble because I’m way past 26 but I was hoping she thought I was younger (like 39).

Breakfast: Banana, oj. I was in a hurry this morning & didn’t have a great breakfast.

Lunch: Chicken salad. Went out to lunch & did very well! I did snitch 2 french fries but otherwise good.

Dinner: Vegetable soup, slice french bread.

Snack: Apple

Too much bread today - I bought some french bread & it was good so I had it for lunch & dinner. . .

I bought beets & salad vegetables & beans for my salad. I’ve put them all in a container so it is easy to use. I’m working to improve my vegetable consumption. Oh I just realized that spinach is a vegetable. I don’t like it cooked but I can get some for my salad!

9 days - I’m pretty impressed.
