Today my plans did not work -- but I made good substitutes. Breakfast was inedible and I substituted yogurt -- Activia yogurt, but it was all I had and it was better than hitting the vending machines. Lunch at the cafeteria was supposed to be grilled chicken but somehow that turned into grilled cheese sandwiches. By this time I really needed protein, and had a salad with, among other things, chickpeas and veg (I know that's protein for most people, but I needed chicken). I'm home by 3 most days, and had a late lunch as soon as I hit the door -- chicken! This is a small story, but big in my checkered past. Usually, this is a day that would have made me "start again next week," or month, or whenever.
Hope everyone else had better luck! Tonight is meatloaf and spinach, and I'll boil up eggs for tomorrow morning.
Can anyone tell me if pickles count towards vegetables? I know they're verrry high in sodium, I'm just curious...
Yum, pickles!
They count as a vegetable. Don't eat too many at a serving, though, because of the sodium, and make sure the ones you're eating don't have sugars in them.
