6 Week - Day 5

My Food:

Breakfast: Breakfast salad with frozen cherries in place of strawberries (yum!)

Lunch: Green Tea and a peanut butter oatmeal cookie

Dinner: Chilis' Carribean salad topped with a black bean burger, side of steamed broccoli and ear of corn on the cob, chips and salsa as appetizer (grrrr!)

My thoughts:

Today wasn't fantastic but I'm still happy with my choices.  I hate a very late breakfast so I wasn't hungry for lunch.  I wasn't going to have a cookie, but I just couldn't resist my sweet girly's hard work. She tried a new recipe, adjusted it to her preferences, and they turned out great! 

 

We went out for dinner and I was hungry! I knew I needed a big salad but am never too excited about grocery store salad bar. We decided to try the vegetarian options offered at Chilis.  They now allow you to sub a black bean burger or black beans for meat on their dishes.  This is pretty nice, even though I'm sure the burgers are processed to some degree.

What messed me up was that I didn't have my Ordering Mojo going on.  I forgot to order the salad dressing on the side and ask for the corn to be plain, no salt or butter. 

The other thing was the chips and salsa David ordered on a whim. Sooooo hard to resist chips when your tummy is growling. But, I did stop myself and stop the mindless munching after several chips.  That was tough!!

Looking Ahead:

I need to have a packed lunch for tomorrow. Hopefully that will be a filling spinach salad or something like it. It will depend on how much time I have to prep it though.

Editing to add: I'm sharing a bowl of grapes with my guy before bed. :)
