11 doesn't seem like to early for lunch to me! Got any filling veggies you can snack on during the afternoon?

AHAhahahahahaha, oh you are a funny one. Me, eating veggies :dizzy:

Seriously, I hate veggies. Yup, almost all of 'em. Can't stand any raw except for cucumbers, lettuce, and broccoli, and even then I need a LOT of dip/dressing to make them tolerable.

Good suggestion; I'm just a bad recipient :p

I still have a banana and a pbj sandwich for this afternoon. I'm just afraid that won't be enough to carry me till dinner at 5:30-6pm.

11 isn't too early for lunch since I'm up at 5am, but I try to eat it later if only to break up the work day a bit more. I have lots of snacks, too--already had yogurt and almonds before lunch.

Wow, Jill, babble much? :dizzy:

OK, so not a big fan of vegetables, got it! That's some serious vegetable hating! LOL. ;) Drink lots of water with your banana and pbj, and hopefully you'll carry through to 5:30! Hang tough!

EDIT: this day turned out to be my most off plan day since my MIL's funeral in New Orleans a few weeks ago (I justified it to myself as culinary tourism...) I'm going to write down every last thing I ate in the hopes that I get embarassed enough to not repeat it!

ugh I woke up feeling really crappy (TOM and coming down with a cold) so my morning was...less than healthy. hopefully I'll eat good stuff for the rest of the day. My appetite is weird since I'm feeling sick.

I did it! I had to leave the office for about an hour to go pick up my new glasses, so that helped break up the afternoon to keep me from snacking. Do I get to start singing NKOTB's Hangin' Tough now, or should I wait till later, or...:p

So I stuck to it yesterday with the addition of 1T garlic infused macadmia nut oil on my cauliflower at dinner. On to Thursday:

• banana, Kashi TLC honey almond granola bar
• packet of light tuna with mayo and Nasoya dijon style nayonnaise
• yogurt
• pbj on whole wheat English muffin
• ham, turkey, cheese, and mayo sandwich with cup of low sodium tomato and red pepper soup
• chicken chopped up and mixed with package of frozen potatoes and broccoli in cheese sauce (it's in the freezer, so I'll use it, but I won't buy it again--it has hydrogenated soybean oil :o ) with cauliflower added to bulk it up
• Trader Joe's sweet potato chips
