Moooore fruits and veggies, here I come...oh, yesterday I only had one serving of my roasted pepper and tomato soup, and it was DELICIOUS. Then I had 2 servings of corn and roasted pepper soup for dinner which was also quite tasty (plus lower in calories than the pepper/tomato soup, yet also lower in protein).

Anyway, on to today:
- plum
- cup of roasted red pepper and tomato soup
- salad (baby spinach, sliced strawberries, chopped pecans, and light Asian soy sesame ginger dressing)
- corn and roasted pepper soup
I got in 3 liters of water yesterday...I'll try for 4 today. I also cut back to only 1 diet soda instead of 2 or 3. I'm not trying to cut out soda, but I read somewhere that your body can more easily digest fruits and vegetables without having anything else in your stomach, so I'm sure the soda chemicals don't exactly aid in digestion/absorption of nutrients

The menus are looking delightful so far!

B - 3 lentil pancakes (yeah I know too much but whatever)
1 cup skim milk
Some cubes of cantaloupe. Tried to take in a couple more slices worth but it was not tasty.

S - 1 banana

L - 1/4 cup brown rice + roasted veggies
1 8 oz container coffee yogie

Ran out of salad so no more salad wraps this week. Hm. I might just gorge on the bananas at home for my snack and wait to have dinner.

Dinner - rice and veggies

Exercise: I'm going to try and go for a workout when I get home but my day is long so I don't know if that's going to happen. Sigh.
