Monday Menu
I didn't see one...am I missing it? If I am, somebody pls slap my hand for typing this :) Gotta get back to more structured eating - the past few days of me calling out and being at home since Thursday is never a good thing. I managed to make mostly decent choices but not great by far and I KNOW I was under protein most of the days.
Now: "protein shake" made w/ 1/2 cup skim plus milk, 6 ounces greek yogurt, half cup frozen black cherries
Lunch: Going to blimpie. Will be ham turkey and cheese, very little if any of the bread, lots of veggies and some oil/vinegar
Packing for work:
Ricotta cream w/ balsalmic strawberries (Yes, I was able to leave them in there until today, lol!)
Greek yogurt w/ berries (and probably an individual pack of graham crackers)
1/4 of the blimpie sub (I got a half, and ate half of that after the gym)/Tomato Basil Soup
Apple w/ PB, Individual package nut mix
I have carrots w/ me as well in case I need to crunch
**I edited this....once I got home and started packing stuff...it changed***

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/thumbsup2.gif)
