I have a side salad everyday that I have a lean cuizine for lunch at work. ( almost everyday) it weighs @ 8 oz...and has that lettuce mix with a little bit of red cabbage and carrots, then I put on 2 cherry tomatoes, a spoon of shredded cheese (lean cuizines don't have enough protien usually) 4 or 5 thin slices of red onion, 2 slices cuccumber and a spoon of croutons (can't seem to break that habit!) I figure it isn't more than 150 calories (I hope)cause that is usually the amount of calories lacking from the frozen meal. I have really become dependant to these meals...cause of the convience. Otherwise I know I will eat way too much!
p.s. I try to do that fork thingy with the dressing too.
I think I am tired I just wrote this but I must have poked the wrong button because it is gone. I blew it today and will need to start over again. I will need a few days to get the whole thing straight, Got so busy I forgot to eat until about 3 pm today. I even messed up on my water intake today, only had about 3 16 oz glasses. I have not done that in a while. I will really need to stay on top of this.
so does a salad plate of red pepper, cuccumber, and carrots count? I wasn't sure...a salad minus the lettuce! I had that yesterday with dinner. Today I had a salad and chicken soup for lunch
Who needs stinkin lettuce to make a salad.LOL
Really tho salads do not have to have lettuce, we are doing veggie salads all kinds. Except of course potato salad. You are doing great. Way better than I am. This new job has thrown it all off for me. But I will settle in and then watch out salad habit here I come.
Salad sounds really good and you are doing great. I'll get there, I know I will but I am so proud of you and that will help me remember this weekend to stock up on my salad stuff and take them to work next week. Thank you so much Susan for always being here.You truly do help me remember my quest for a healthier body and state of mind.
