Lunch and some awesome treats and giveaways!

Okay, so far i’m loving this meal plan. While I wasn’t hungry at 10:30 I followed their guidance and had my apple anyway. Then at 1pm I enjoyed a WONDERFUL lunch. It’s amazing how tasty a diversion is sometimes. I wasn’t feeling content lately after my lunchtime salads. This lunch left me satiated, quite full, and happy. 🙂 My plan is to eat my afternoon snack around 4:30 so it will hold me over through Physique at 6pm.

For now, i’ve figured out how to upload pics from my dingy camera phone. I PROMISE that i’ll buy a new charger soon. No one out there has an extra charger for a Cannon SD-540 do they? 🙂

I’m leaving on a jet plane….and lunch on the run

Okay, I have 3 hours until I have to head to the airport and i’m already in the office prepping for my meeting. Today I find out what the next few years will hold job wise! YIKES!

Anyway, on to my lunch on the run! Sometimes you just crave veggies, have to clean out your fridge in preparation for a trip, and have to scoot quickly. That is when my favorite tool, the gallon ziplock bag, comes into play! Today’s lunch was as follows, i kid you not:

1 bag baby bibb lettuce
1/4 bag coleslaw cabbage
15 cherry tomatoes
1/2 c cottage cheese
a few olives
1/8 bag broccoli shreds n carrots
2 tbsp Trader Joes light goat cheese n pear dressing (AMAZING)

Combine all in Ziplock, seal, shake, grab a fork and GO! In addition I grabbed a lil bag of Fiber One and a yogurt to eat either at the office or airport.

I’m sad that I am dashing so quickly and doubt i’ll have a pc down in Charleston. But, upon my return i’ll talk about the joys that were my Maid of HOnor’s bachelorette weekend, review Physique 57, and talk about my Philadelphia/NYC life!!

Until next time….have a happier, healthier day and weekend!
