Munchy, less stomach discomfort is certainly a good thing.
Thought I would report a little non-scale victory I had today. I had to go out in the middle of the day to cash a check at one bank, then go to a second bank and get a cashier's check, then go by the tax guy to have the checks photocopied and faxed. I forgot that today was the 1st of the month and found myself in a huge line at the first bank and waited in line for over 40 minutes. This put me behind schedule and I started feeling tense.
On my way to the tax guy I realized I was now into the lunch hour and their office would be locked until 1:00. This meant I needed to eat lunch while I was out as there would not be time to eat when I got home before my afternoon assignment started.
There aren't many places in my little town where you can find healthy food, but on impulse I stopped at Panda Express. I was very pleased to find they had the calorie counts of all their dishes clearly displayed. It made it easy to choose a bowl of vegetables (70 calories) and a beef dish -- don't remember the name but it was 220 calories, so I had a good satisfying lunch with a decent amt. of vegetables for under 300 calories. Since I didn't need rice, I didn't order any and didn't have to pay for it either, which was nice.
Don't know if Panda Express is out where any of you live, but if you pass by one, keep in mind that it's possible to eat there and still make good choices.
