I ate & ate & ate for lunch today

July 29, 2009 by DanicasDaily 5 Comments

I almost made it ALL morning without a snack, but, my stomach started to rumble shortly before spin class.  I know it’s a big jump to eat breakfast at 7:30 AM and not eat until after spin class close to 1:30 PM.  I had a small stack of Trader Joe’s Lightly Roasted Cashews before heading to class.

When I came back I was definitely ready for lunch.  I am trying to start off with eating my veggies first to fill me up so I have less room for things that are more calorie dense.  I started out nibbling on some baby carrots (oh how I wish I had THAT Roasted Red Pepper Hummus for dipping here).

Then, I moved onto the cherry tomatoes I got at the market yesterday.

I LOVE plates of color and crunch!

Then, sticking to my BLT promise for the week, I scooped up a small portion of the Pasta Salad that was being served up in the break room.  I am not a big fan of mayo salads but this was a momentary weakness and I had the desire to try something new.  I am sure I went spinning just to eat this LOL…..It was pretty tasty though – LOVED the peas and red peppers in it.

My main dish was leftover Grilled Eggplant Lasagna.  I think this really does get better the longer it sits as the flavors meld together.  I LOVE the cheesiness of it all.

Surprisingly I STILL wanted dessert after.  I had thought of fruit but honestly felt like I had enough fiber going on with all the veggies I had already.  I decided something crunchy and sweet would be perfect so I pulled out a 1 oz bag of Annie’s Honey Bunny Grahams.  You get ALOT of that bag for 2 Weight Watcher points.

I am pretty much over the top full now so I am pretty sure I will not be needing my afternoon snack. 

Only a few more hours until my foot pampering pedicure session – I cannot wait!

See you all later tonight!
