Made it through the first week! (Day 8)

Breakfast:

Omelette (broccoli, orange bell pepper and tomatoes), Aidell's chicken-apple sausage, grape fruit.

Confession. I don't know how to make an actual omelette. I just chop and cook veggies and then add in the scrambled egg. So mine end up looking like that. If anyone can tell me a trick or two on how to make an omelette. That would be appreciated. I cant tell you how much I feel like my mother having grape fruit in the morning. My mom seriously has one for breakfast almost every single morning. I have to cut myself half of the grape fruit too because my 2 year old always eats half of it.

Lunch:

Tuna fish lettuce wrap

Dinner:
Spaghetti squash spaghetti

I had 3 helpings of this! There are two ways to cook Spaghetti squash. Just put the whole thing in the crock pot. I don't remember if I put a little water at the bottom of the crock pot or not. If you decide to add water. It doesn't hurt, Add about a cup of water. You also can cook it in the oven. Slice the squash in half and scoop out seeds. Get out a cooking sheet and cover with foil. Rub all of the inside to the edges of the squash with a cooking oil. (I used olive oil). Put the squash face down on the cooking sheet, so that the inside is touching the foil. Pierce the outside of it with a fork a good couple of times. This helps it cook all the way through. Turn on oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit height. How long you cook it in the oven depends on how big your squash is. Mine was a good medium sized one and I cooked it for 1 hour and 30 min. You know when your squash is done when you can pierce the outside of it easily with a fork.

For the sauce I added ground beef, salt and pepper to taste, and a little bit of garlic salt. 
I went to the store to try and find a marinara. It took a while to find one that didn't have sugar in it. Even in the healthy living food isle. I finally found one at Smiths grocery. It really was the only one there without sugar and no weird additives.
 
If you see this one. Get it. the flavor of it was quite good and wasn't bland.
