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

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

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?

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...

• Trader Joe's sweet potato chips
