L- Salad from Subway with oven roasted chicken breast, spinach leaves (instead of lettuce), tomato, onion, banana peppers, pickles, green peppers, black olives, and ranch dressing.

S- whole sliced cucumber with garlic hummus

D- chicken salad with lots of celery, onion, and pickle, and mayo, on romaine lettuce hearts

Dessert: Lowfat, SF cheesecake

After dessert snack: I was having really bad cravings for some of the junk food my husband has around the house, so I opened up a can of green beans and ate the entire can to add some more veggies to my day (3.5 servings to be exact) and to quell the cravings to munch.

Got an hour of walking going through the mall, and although was tempted by $5 Chinese plates (right next to Subway), I stuck to my guns and had my salad (and it was delicious!)

Notes to myself for today: Glad I got more veggies in today so I'm proud of that. Realized I did not have any dairy today nor any cheese, so maybe some fat free milk would have helped quell my cravings if I had some with the green beans. In fact, going to have a cup or so before bed.
