Even though I wanted a PB&J for lunch I decided to make a big salad because I have so much produce! The goods: spinach, tomatoes, bell pepper, shredded carrot, mushrooms, garbanzo beans, peanuts and TJ’s peanut dressing. It was so filling and delicious. I think eating salads with a bunch of topping is the lunch/dinner equivalent of oatmeal with toppings!…

Date with Matt
I surprised Matt (my little bro) today by picking him up from school to take him to see Planet Earth. But, he refused to see it because my mom had mentioned she wanted to see it too and he didn’t want to see it without here. Boo. So, instead we ate the popcorn I was going to sneak in (1,000…

Brooke Hogan
Since I obviously have no problem telling you guys embarrassing things about myself, (like when I eat a doughnut and an ice cream sandwhich because I’m stressed) I thought I will add to the list of things you may judge me on with this: I love Brooke Hogan right now. Isn’t that random? I caught her VH1 show on reruns…

Frijoles with Spinach
I had a very.bad.day.of.eating. Very bad. This always happens when I say I am going to entirely cut out certain foods. I guess restricting for so long has built up some resentment with my willpower and it completely fights against me at the first sign of anything resembling a diet. This is especially frustrating because I truly want to lose…

On second thought…
Lunch was open faced grilled cheese with a big carrot, tomatoes and hummus. Yogurt on the side for dessert/dairy. Then, I realized that I love to eat yogurt with some kind of topping. So, I added the “allow-ables” – almonds and raisins. But, I wanted more of the goodies so I grabbed a handful of trailmix I have. So, I…

Target is an evil genius
I brought a naner and the last of my Barney Butter for a p.m. snack. I’m both sad and happy that the BB is gone. I was digging into the jar with a spoon/knife/fingers like an addict. No picture because I broke my memory card at work!!! So after work I stopped at Target to get a new one and…
