And my pauper's supper was more lentil soup with cottage cheese and a carrot.

I got up early to go to the Vancouver temple realizing when I got there that I was on mountain time and was an hour too early. It wasn't open yet so I sat in the dark listening to good music. Then because I had not eaten breakfast first I was hungry and started looking around my car and found a fiber 1 bar and an O Henry chocolate bar that I had bought for "mom" on the drive yesterday so I ate them. Not exactly the breakfast of champions but it got me through to now when I ate the 2 eggs and turkey bacon my daughter made for me.
I had a late lunch with a friend at Earls-- a Cajun chicken salad. And I followed that down with a skinny hot chocolate from Starbucks.

In the afternoon I had some greek yogurt flavored with crystal light berry crystals. I had some family over for dinner and cooked a turkey breast. So I ate turkey breast, steamed green beans with onions, and a large veggie salad. And that's the day.
