Not a great day for food but not a tragedy either. One of my dear friends from elementary school lost her sister today so I have a good dose of perspective.
Wednesday actuals: B: Kashi cereal, 1/2 banana, milk, chai S: No L: Wanted Wendy's, remembered I'd had it just last week (even though the moment before I'd been thinking how 'good' I've been...not particularly but nice try) so I went to the bagel shop and got a hummus bagel sandwich, no cheese, no chips. Definitely a better choice and I was pretty full which I would've thought I might not be w/o the chips. S: None D: ww spaghetti w/meat sauce, piece of godiva chocolate from my box I've had since Christmas that has suddenly learned to sing my name. I don't mind too much since good quality usually squashes the urge. Exercise: Off for commute day
Thursday plan: B: Kashi cereal, banana, milk, chai S: No L: Lean Cuisine I didn't eat today, roll I bought if it's not hard as a rock S: Yogurt D: Going to dinner up north since I 'get' a bonus commute day this week. We are going to my favorite fish taco place. Going to try a trick I saw a friend do the last time I was there. They come with 2 corn tortillas and I usually eat 2 of them but I'm going to split the innards of one between the 2 tortillas and see how that goes. They are usually really full so I think that will work well. Not sure about the chips and salsa. Their salsa is killer so probably will indulge but maybe count out a reasonable serving and ditch the rest. Exercise: Going to drop my car off at the shop and will either walk all the way or at least part way home. Depends on how late it is, I can jump on a bus if it's too late.

Sing along with me.... And the wheels on the bus go flying off, flying off, flying off....

I'm tired and I had a crappy afternoon at work. Exercise: Does watching people swim count?
Wednesday plan: B: Kashi golean, blueberries, milk, chai S: None L: Going to tacos with a friend. They are ok though, small w/grilled meat, no cheese and I can dress them with quite a few veggies S: Yogurt and plums D: We'll shoot for the shrimp on greens tomorrow night

Dinner almost ended up being ordered from a local sandwich shop. We did not make a plan for dinner so at 5PM I was trying to think of what was in my kitchen that I could throw together. Well-the take-out menu folder came out. And after looking at it I thought-there HAS to be something I can make here. SO glad I went into the kitchen. Here is what I made:
Cooked a few slices of pancetta, took out of pan, threw in some minced garlic, chopped up roma tomatoes(after they cooked down a bit I added crushed red pepper and mashed them up a little so they were smoother but still a bit chunky), kalamata olives, defrosted frozen shrimp, added the pancetta back in, and then a bit of fresh lemon juice and finished the sauce with fresh basil. Made some pasta(not ww unfortunately but used what I had on hand). The sauce turned out amazing! I also had a bag of Caesar salad mix that I made. Such a better dinner than a cheeseteak and fries!!!!

I have no specific goal(s) right now. I am trying to find the spiritual side of myself that I lost somewhere along the way.
Monday actuals B: Autumn harvest, banana, milk, tea S: None L: Something went wrong with lunch plans and never heard from her. I had egg salad and tomato in ww mini pitas (3), a serving of lays potato chips S: My smallest coffee cup of chai. Felt an eating frenzy coming on but had the chai and started watching a movie and had a little snooze in the middle and then it was time to make dinner. Whew... D: Grilled london broil, roasted potatoes, grilled zucchini, dinner roll, salad greens w/tomato and cucumber and a glass of wine Exercise: 45 min walk this morning
Tuesday plan: B: Autumn harvest, banana, milk, chai S: None L: Almond butter and jelly, lays chips (and going to take the rest of the bag for the community food spot), cucumber slices, iced peach white tea S: yogurt and cherries D: Leftover turkey burger, baked beans, salad greens and red pepper strips Exercise: Probably not
Sunday actuals B: Autumn harvest, banana, milk, tea, cranraspberry juice S: None L: Ah, geez...didn't choose too well. We went to the greek booth and I thought I was doing something smart with the small sampler but it was really only small in the amount of salad he put on it. It was rice, lamb, chicken, a little salad on one of those little dessert sized paper plates but it was indulgent and not even all that yummy for what I'm sure it cost me in calories. S: Pinapple Ginger Agua Fresca D: Turkey burger, baked beans, celery and lentil pate leftovers S: Cherries, 1 1/2 small brownies and a few maple pecans
Monday plan: B: Autumn harvest, banana, milk, tea S: Probably none L: Going out w/job coach...not sure where S: Cherries and yogurt D: Dad is coming for dinner. Need to figure out what I'm fixing. Something on the grill I think but haven't menu planned yet to figure it out.
