Day 2

Breakfast- Cereal-  the girls ate it dry, I had Vanilla Coconut milk to use up it has sugar in it (that's my "sugar treat" for the day.)
Snack- grape tomatoes
Lunch- Girls- chicken, mashed potatoes, mixed veg.  Me- PB and raw honey on Ezekiel bread, salad with olive oil and vinegar, sesame sticks
Snack-Me- cantaloupe, chips and salsa. Kendra- Cantaloupe. Riley- nothing
Dinner-Black spaghetti, homemade red sauce, beef and black bean meatballs, brussel sprouts.

Brownies for dessert.   Mix. 1/2 c .wheat flour, 1/8 c. flax, 1/8 c. chia, 1/8 c. oats 1 tsp baking pwdr, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/8 tsp. salt.  Melt 1/4c. butter, 1/4c. coconut oil, 1/2 c. cocoa pwdr. add 1tsp vanilla and 2 eggs.  Mix dry with wet.  Bake in a greased pan 350 for 15-20 minutes.  (Not super sweet, very chocolaty.  Next time I will try adding a ripe banana for extra sweetness and use less cocoa pwdr.)

Reward: Kendra-1 small piece of candy, Riley-puffed corn, Tracy- another brownie :)
Day 2 is almost over, so far so good.  It was tough hanging in there at work this afternoon as there was a yummy looking chocolate cake in the kitchen.  Kendra really wants tater tot hot dish (lunch at TLC) tomorrow but has decided she can wait until another time.  Her steadfastness is a great motivator.
This whole experience hopefully will help us to be aware of how much sugar we consume.  It will also be a great test of our willpower.
