Hi Meri,
Thank you so much for your kind words!your link to Tilia was so neat. I'm really enjoying learning more about this symbol that I have accidentally stumbled on.
I particularly enjoyed the part about the German Mythological symbolism of this tree :)

Back to diet-
I did have a minor slip. I enjoyed my half cup of coffee frozen yogurt so much that I went back for another half scoop. All in all, not a bad slip, but I need to be aware that if eating a half cup serving is not satisfying, I might want to pick a safer dessert choice. Perhaps baked apples with cinnamon or something that is sweet but not so easy to wolf down as frozen yogurt.Some foods act as a trigger for me to eat more of them. Milk chocolate is one of those. A single morsel- only makes me want more than before I got started at all. Best to stick to dark chocolate, which is satisfying in smaller bites.
Another trigger for me to eat is sitting in front of the TV in the evenings. I should learn to knit or something to keep my hands busy. flossing my teeth in front of TV works pretty well, but there are only 28 teeth to floss in my mouth!
or perhaps I should paint my toenails, or just not watch TV and read a book instead.

Bkfast was fibrous cereal with 1cup of whey stuff- it's vanilla whey protein that I dissolved in water. I have NO milk, and NO yoghurt. I GOTTA go shopping!!!
Followed by two cups of very strong Masala Chai. I made my own spice mix- cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, black pepper, bay leaf. a tiny dash of this in a cup of black Assam tea is very nice. I just wish I had some milk!!! faster than the traditional Masala Chai, and has less fat and sugar than the "Chai Tea Lattes" they sell here in the USA.
I guess all those spices are supposed to be kind of healthy too.
Snacks to take to school are granola bar an apple and a banana. Some kind of frozen entree thing with salmon and spinach.
bye Meri :)
