Delores, I have to agree about what we were raised seeing as "normal".  As a child, I was the family cook during the week because my parents both worked.  Starting in 5th grade, i was responsible for having dinner on the table when the family came home at 5:30.

When I was raising my kids, dinner was sacred time.  Everyone had to be there.  We sat at the table and talked about our day.  The kids reported what they learned in school and talked about their sport teams.  Definitely no TV, just music playing in the background.

I love the DEEP sleep I get with Nyquil postop!  But thankfully I have not had to use it much in the last 4 years.  Hope you wake feeling much better.

8. sugar-free triffle (sf cake, greek yogurt, nuts, sf cherry pie filling)

Lots of bottle water, totally forgot to order the lattes as decaf.

too many carbs today with the fruit and then the triffle. 

I certainly hope i can live up to your lofty expectations,lol.

We do eat a relatively "kingly" dinner -  but it still mainly consists of protein and 1 or 2 low carb veg - sometimes some lentils or quinoa instead of a veg. I like the routine of making our daily family dinner somewhat of a privileged space in the day, and preparing foods that are a bit special, rather than just scrambling some eggs, helps create that atmosphere. I did this when I was single too - I actually like cooking for myself and prepared dinner plus planned leftovers for the next day's lunch (this was pre WLS - so I wasn't usually low-carbing).

Having said that - I pretty much eat the same way all day - breakfast is either leftovers from dinner, tuna sashimi, or a scrambled or fried egg and homemade turkey sausage patty. Occasionally ricotta or cottage cheese or the pumpkin / ricotta/egg/flaxseed "Hot cereal" recipe from about.com low carb section. (Sounds weird but is really yummy and filling!)  Lunch is leftovers or a few vegetable sticks, a hard boiled egg, and a slice of turkey from the salad bar.

And, having said THAT, I am totally stalling these days, at about 10-15 pounds from goal weight, so maybe what I do isn't all that fabulous a plan!
