365.12: Strike One

Not even two weeks in...strike one.

I had lunch at a friend's house and she served a delicious vegetable soup that her mom made. Had small chunks of ham in it and it was made with ham stock. I wasn't going to be rude. And so I ate it, only had one chunk of ham, I tried to pick around the rest.

I learned from a friend in Louisville (her daughter is vegetarian) that her daughter wasn't allowed to be rude in her vegetarian lifestyle. So...I wasn't going to be rude.

said veggie soup w cheese, crackers, veggies, 2 small (cottage cheese instead of butter) chocolate chip cookies

orange

3/4 cup whole wheat rotini mushroom pasta (all gone, sad thing about good leftovers)

1 cup low fat ice cream

1 mini york peppermint patty

almonds

So, I had some ham stock. I can only control what I can control and not be rude. Go me!

365.7 = One Week Down, 51 to go

So, I've made it through my first week. Not as tough as I thought it would be, just takes choices - and isn't everything we put in our mouths about choices!

Publix bread breakfast with pb

Skim milk

Banana

1/2 Clif Z Bar (for kids)

My fave mexican (cheap) place in Raleigh: Salsa Fresh: grilled veggie burrito (no rice, cheese, or burrito), - so just black beans, grilled peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream - very good.

chips/salsa

Caribou: blueberry almond oatmeal, 1/2 apple

So, its been a pretty good day. Had great conversations about The Kind Diet and Clean Food - both which have been on my Amazon wish list for forever, but I just haven't bought. Must reads.

Here's to week 2! Bring it!
