A quiet day...my knee is hurting a lot so I laid in bed for a while after waking up to try and get it stretched out a bit. It's over 90 and is supposed to be over 100 all weekend....so staying inside with the AC and fans running is a blessing...

It's a quiet day on the dieting/food front...I ate my first meal (cottage cheese and strawberries) at about 2 pm....dinner will be baked salmon with some rice and baby squash...the Cal Poly Farm Store has the most adorable little baby squash, about 4-5 different varieties, and they sell then for 10 cents each....I eat 2-3 of them at one serving...microwaved with some herbs...yum

One thing I've really noticed is that I'm not using nearly as much butter as I used to.....the only thing I use it for is to put on cooked veges or to cook eggs in. I haven't had eggs since Phase One....Before, I would use butter on toast/bagels/bread and rice/potatoes....now, in theory, butter shouldn't have been an issue in my weight problem since I don't digest the excess fat that I eat....just interesting since it points out that I was eating a lot of bread/etc. to be using the butter like that in the past...

Now if my knee would stop hurting....
