yesterday i left 1/2 of my 'planned' lunch at home. dang! so no dr. kracker's yesterday-- and was i ever heartbroken when i figured that out. and my salad was i c k. i hadn't washed the lettuce very well so i just picked out the cukes, tomatos, and tuna and trashed the rest. i was naughty and hit the vending machine downstairs for 2 1 oz packets of cheetos. double dang. i stayed LATE again at work BUT instead of grabbing a 'quick' dinner out, i ran home (scarfed down 3 oz of leftover tuna) and started making a healthy dinner. whole wheat pasta w a 'sauce' of olive oil, capers, small handful of olives, fresh tomato, roasted tomato, roasted yellow pepper, and parm. mmm. i ate up a bowl, filled up a container for lunch (for today) and picked at the last remaining bits-- so i had like 1 1/2 bowls. had a coupla handfulls of animal crackers for dessert. made water goal for the day.

Beans • Blueberries • Broccoli • Oats • Oranges • Pumpkin • Salmon • Soy • Spinach • Tea -- green or black • Tomatoes • Turkey • Walnuts • Yogurt

Mid-morning= slice of marble cake w/ chocolate frosting from the administrative assistant's birthday party

Lunch= a trip to the farmer's market: LOTS of raw green beans and some white cherries (DOUBLE YUMMIE!!)

Anger snack= 21 dark chocolate M&Ms (my husband was 45 minutes late picking me up from work. Hrmph.)
