Ok, I don't really expect anyone to eat like me. In fact for the most part it's probably better if you don't. My blog post title is influenced by another blog I read occasionally entitled 'Eat Like Me' by Cristin Dillon. Cristin is a registered dietitian who blogs absolutely everything she eats, every single day to give people some insight into how someone who has studied nutrition eats.
Cristin's blog is really great as it shows how someone trying to make good choices eats at home, at a restaurant, at a basketball game, on holidays, at a wedding, etc. I don't know how she does it, but I have decided to give it a go for the next week. I'm actually hoping it will encourage me to eat the right thing. There is no way I want to come on here and tell the world I ate an entire bag of mini easter eggs (fundraising chocolates are so evil) so if I know I have to tell someone then I may just not eat it in the first place. I guess in a weeks time I'll tell you how effective it is.
Breakfast
Frozen fruit, 1 slice burgen bread with peanut butter
This is my breakfast most mornings as it is quick and covers a few food groups. Usually I have glass of skim milk with it as well, however I actually forgot this morning.
Lunch
Chicken in sticky orange & tomato glaze (1 drumstick, 1 wing) and left over salads consisting of things like pasta, pumpkin, pumpkin, chick peas, sundried tomatoes, cucumber, onion, etc
Afternoon Tea
Regular Caramelatte with skim milk from Gloria Jeans
Dinner
Bread roll with butter, salmon and mixed veggies
I ate about 3/4 of the salmon and gave the rest to Jonathan.
So, if you are checking my blog, expecting pictures of the girls and don't care what I eat, sorry, but you'll be getting some more of it over the next few days. It's my blog :)
Today I received a beautiful new lens, but nothing could be more beautiful than those deep brown eyes of Zoe's. Thankfully she sat still long enough for me to capture them today. She's growing up so fast and so lovely. Thank you God for such a beautiful daughter, full of happiness and light.

Sisters love to do things together. They love to talk (over one another), watch movies (never the same one at the same time though), borrow (steal) each others clothes and brush (yank) each others hair. Zoe is a bit young for this, however Malia is already starting this process without Zoe's knowledge or consent. Malia tell's me it's ok to play with Zoe's toys, read Zoe's books and watch the movies specifically bought for Zoe. Oh boy, I think I can wait for the day Zoe picks up on all this and says that dreaded word................ no! Not that she can't already say it, she just uses sounds and expressions to get her point across. For example.......
Ahhhhh, the love between two sisters. It's, well, today it was relentless. Is that a good thing?

I saw this questionnaire on Facebook and decided to attempt it with Malia and post it here seeing as our family and friends read this blog more than they check my Facebook page. Even I rarely check my Facebook page. Basically it is a list of 21 questions that you ask your child and then type their answers exactly the way they give them. Ooooooo, this could be interesting. Here we go:
