Well, after not eating much at all the last couple of days, I'm dusting myself off and getting back to my meals today. I still don't have a huge appetite, but am making myself eat since I know it will help.

breakfast: strawberries, blueberries, mango and greek yogurt, drizzle of honey and a cup of tea.

snack: whole grain toast with 1 tbs. natural peanut butter

lunch: I found some leftover roast chicken in the fridge, and made up a quick tomato, cucumber and onion salad to go with it. Watermelon.

snack: marcona almonds

dinner: baked miso-glazed halibut with brown rice, steamed broccoli and carrots, and roasted beets.

dessert: cara cara orange segments with a drop of grand marnier

Wednesday

B - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 spoons apple butter, 2 spoons of wheat germ, small handful of walnuts

S - strawberries - but they were NOT good and I was very disappointed

L - big home-made salad - baby spinach, broccoli slaw, shredded carrot, purple cabbage, beets, grape tomatoes, red onion, orange pepper, 1/5 package of fake crab, low fat roasted garlic vinaigrette

S - no sugar added cocoa

S - tangelo

S - baby carrots, grape tomatoes, sugar snap peas, orange pepper strips

D- tonight is board game night, so I'm picking up dinner from our favorite Persian restaurant. They make this fabulous pomegranate walnut stew - I know, it sounds awful but it is sweet and tart and tangy and wondeful! I'll probably have the stew, some pita and a salad (always too much dressing though).

My other goal is NOT to be tempted by all the yummy food in the conference room (my boyfriend's company keeps the room stocked with all kinds of snack foods - microwave popcorn, Cliff bars, brownies, Nutter butters, Oreos, etc etc). It's really tough!

I caved at the board game party and split a pack of Nutter Butters - my first in nearly 3.5 years! Ah well, it was only 125 calories, not too bad considering all the other options.

I ended up with a really yummy salad from the Persian place - crisp dark green romaine, lentils, dates, walnuts and tomatoes. I saved half of the salad and the chicken from my pomegranate/walnut stew, it will be a fabulous lunch tomorrow!
