Week 5 - Day 5

(May 12, 2011)

Today was going to be somewhat challenging as my daughters class went to the zoo.  We started out today with brown rice cereal for breakfast.  I was able to get her the multi-vitamin and a few other supplements before school.  For lunch I packed her 2 rice cakes with soy nut butter and a chocolate coconut milk.  For snack I packed her some popcorn and dehydrated apple slices.

We got to the zoo and we weren't even there for an hour when Jeannette said she was starving.  She woofed down the popcorn and complained that she was still hungry.  I knew I didn't have a bunch of food, and I couldn't buy food, so I had to drag out the food I had for her.  It was only 10:30am and she wanted lunch.  I tried to distract her by going to a few different exhibits.  At 11:45am, I couldn't hold her off any longer.  We found a place to sit and had lunch.  She seemed to be content.  We were to meet back at the buses at 12:45pm and I made sure she had a snack before she got on the bus.  All she had left was the apples, so she ate some of that.

When we got back to school, she had an after school activity and I completely forgot to pack a snack for her.  When I picked her up afterwards, I asked her what they had for snack.  She said they had watermelon, but she didn't have any.  She doesn't like watermelon.

For dinner, the kids had leftover waffles that I had frozen from last weekend, along with some uncured bacon.  I was able to get Jeannette to eat at least a yogurt with the probiotic in it.  I ended up giving her the supplemental shake later as she was full from dinner.  The shake was her dessert.
