Hey lovinlifex2! I usually trust your taste in food. Are the vitamuffin tops as good as the vitamuffins? By the way, did you see that Hungry Girl is coming out with a recipe book on 4/29? I'm super excited!!!

Hey cookie...

I did see that this morning - already ordered me an advanced copy. Ya, the vitatops are really good, but for me the tops of the muffins are usually my favorite part anyways. I just got my new box in - Hungry Girl approved Triple Choc Chunk. I don't really care for them to be room temp, but heat them up for about 25-30 sec in the microwave and it is sooo yummy and gooey.

So yesterday I ended up going out for lunch as well as drinks later in the evening. So my planning was off, but I was still good. I had a cup of French onion soup (my weakness) and a green salad with grilled chicken. I was full for the rest of the day. Then later that night when we were out I had one drink, a "slider" (mini burger), a 2"x2" slice of thin crust pizza, and a piece of pita with hummus. I know, not the most well balanced meal, but I still came in under my cals for the day.

Today's plan is as follows:

B-1 slice whole wheat bread with (really hearty, from the bakery), 1 Tbsp PB, and a small banana
water

Snack-LC wedge and 1 cup grapes

Lunch-my lunch from yesterday which I didn't eat.
L-Sandwich made with 1 Tbsp garlic lover's hummus, 1 oz shredded 50%fat cheddar, lettuce, cucumber, carrot slaw, and black beans in a whole wheat wrap.
1 clementine

Snack-sugar free jello cup

D-not sure yet. FI and I have a cake tasting tonight so whatever we have for dinner will be really really light, probaby just salad or something.

I don't think I'm going to make it to the gym today. I'm really bummed about that, I wanted to try to go every day this week. I may try to go at lunchtime.
