MMC - I've basically replaced all of my lettuce consumption with kale. I love the flavor and use it in all of my salads now. It's WAY more nutritious than salad greens, and heartier. I use it in smoothies too. I finally found kale pre-washed and chopped (huge bag for 2.79) and that is the way I plan on buying it from now on - SO easy!

Thursday -
B: ff greek yogurt, sf jam
L: salad, chicken, grilled veggies, guac
S: soft pretzel (and the day had been going so well . . .)
D: epic food fail - another pretzel after which I fell asleep at 5 pm due to poor food consumption (first time in months). Well - reminds me why I don't eat white flour!!

Zeff -Thanks for your comment about snacks and metabolism. I realize that I've got the typical Phase 1 loss of appetite, but I sure as heck don't want to slow my metabolism, so I've decided to try and have at least one snack a day anyway. I'm feeling better about that now. The idea of eating when you're not hungry wasn't sitting well, but now I feel much better.
