So, I'm kind of doing SB and kind of doing an "eat what is the healthy option so I'm sated and not prone to binge" food plan. Hope I can stay on this thread with you all! :-)

Lindsay, thanks for being cool about my trying something other than SB for a while. :-)

Eier im Glas, Jandaman, you keep making me miss Germany with the little things you mention! It's so cute!

The first date? Not great, but hey, I was getting out there again after a HIDEOUS break-up which made me believe "I'm never going to find love." Well, I sure didn't last night, but at least I'm trying. :-)

B: quinoa porridge with a little agave nectar and 5 slices banana; juiced spinach, celery, cucumber, ginger, 1/2 lemon.
L: egg salad (0% fat Greek yogurt instead of mayo) on whole wheat toast with lots of lettuce
S: Coffee with lots of non-fat milk and a Laughing Cow Lite
D: Chili made of kidney beans, shredded soy protein, some carrots and tomatoes, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1/3 avocado.
It's late and I'm tired and stressed about some work I need to finish, so I'm going to make myself a decaf orange tea. Smells good and hot water should be filling!
