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!
Ugh! I have been SOOOOO busy I haven't been able to post on here recently! I have done great though. I had my weigh-in Monday and I lost 3.5 lbs! Woohoo! I am trying a new recipe tomorrow night for dinner, crab stuffed portobella, I'll let you know how it turns out!
Today
B-fage yogurt w/straw&raspberries, walnuts, drizzle of honey, soy latte
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!
