Lisa’s Rant….life and healthy eating

So I was dreading lunch a bit thinking of the NS food that I learned to loathe last spring. But it was suprisingly tasty. I think I was just so totally sick of it I was disgusted.  The thought of sticking to a meal plan makes me feel good though. Like I’m FOR REAL doing something about my weight. Having a meal plan also helps with the binging so good things ahead I hope. Plusssss my roomie just told me she ordered NS too. I for once in my life have a diet buddy I’m totally excited. I have needed one!!!

Today’s lunch was Tomato Corn Chowder. Very yummy kind of chili like, like a veggie chili. I’ll also grab a salad from the cafe downstairs in about an hour or so. Again pics to come soon.

I’m also supposed to have a dairy/protein serving with lunch but I think i’m saving it as a pre dinner snack since I have class tonight and a friends happy hour and wont have time to eat a real dinner until late. I brought a Stoneyfield Black Cherry Yogurt. I’ve never tried this flavor it sounded interesting though.

Afternoon snack is another dairy/protein serving and some fruit. I packed 1% cottage cheese and a pear. I desparately need to go to the store to get some variety options for my fruit, dairy/protein, and veggie servings.

Since I have my coworkers bday happy hour this afternoon at 5:30 I won’t have time to squeeze in a run or gym time before class. We’re having it at a Mexican place. I don’t think I’m going to drink anything tonight though because 1) i feel motivated since I just started my diet and 2) i’m only going to be there for like 30 minutes.
