Good Monday worth of eats.
It is getting easier to do this. But, still have to be in the process of saying no.
And I am so excited because I get to go grocery shopping tomorrow! :) I don't know if I've been this excited in a while because I've not been in a while when I've had money in the bank! :)

365.15: Chipotle

Today may have been the first day I wasn't satisfied without meat (but I think that is where I went for lunch)

baked oatmeal with milk
banana
chipotle with a friend: salad with black beans, salsas, cheese, grilled pepppers, and we split guac and chips.
I thought to myself, man, I would really love some of their chicken or pork...but I didn't give in!
1 piece panera cinnamon raisin bread w tsp pb
carrots
2 rice thins

elliptical and oblique were good for me tonight too. And lots of water. Gotta do whatcha gotta do for those skinny jeans, pencil skirts, and speaking engagements!

365.11 - Therapy

30 hours of therapy for me. For the price of a dinner and a tank of gas.

Frosted mini-wheats with a friend for breakfast

Weight Watchers chocolate chip cookie bar

Caramel Macchiato - skim

Panera Cobblestone Muffin (first one ever, pretty good, would be better if they would warm it up)

1/2 oreo cheesecake.

The salmon salad was much better than the cheesecake. So good! And fresh after two days of not so good eating - but vegetarian!

Publix breakfast bread with peanut butter

I have to be up late tonight working, so I'll probably grab some more cherries or some raw almonds about midnight.

The elliptical and kettlebell are my friends today.

365.1: Here we go!

This was yesterday. I was sitting at my desk at work and asked a question "What would it take for you to go meatless for one year?" out to FB world. I got a ton of answers, most were not willing. Then, I said, you know what...go with it.

Almost like running a half marathon, or writing a book, sometimes you just gotta make up your mind to do it. And I did. And I'm doing it.

Day 1:

2 pieces Panera Cinnamon raisin toast with Trader Joe's unsalted crunchy peanut butter (my favorite)

Some mochabuttercream (as I was frosting a cake)

Banana

1/2 small sub from Jersey Mike's and took the turkey off (since they didn't order any veggie subs)

BBQ chips

Dark Mint Lindt Truffle (thank you Madalyn)

Piece of said cake (we were at a party)

1/2 Pumelo

Macheesmo's Jalepeno Cheddar Cornbread - THIS IS SO GOOD!

Happy Herbivore's Curried Pumpkin Lentil Soup

Kettle Corn and 1/2 cup hot chocolate (homemade with skim milk) during NCAA game.
