I am starting this tonight so I don't forget.  I have 3 slides left to perfect, I am a total pain in the ass about power point slides being perfect.  Tomorrow I have to finish those, practice my presentation a few times to make sure its within the time limit, and hem my pants.  Then I have to just relax.  This annual presentation is really nerve wracking and worrisome and Here is my food plan (I've got it down tonight, wow) B - grande 2% latte S - 2 clementines L - 1c raisin bran, 8oz mootopia S - 16oz mootopia, benefiber, 1/4serving ovaltine D - ham and peas Edit - ham and peas turned into to an italian ham and pea salad, and I skipped the raisin bran and the clementines, and the mootopia w/ ovaltine but I had a piece of hawaiian pizza and the pineapple and cheese from a second piece.  Way to stay on plan eh?

Ham and pea salad recipe - not really I just threw stuff together that I had on hand but it was good - here are the approximates for a BIG BATCH - I separated it out into a few portions for hubby to take to work for next few days. 1/2 box whole grain pasta (I used ronzoni b/c its my fave) 1 bag of frozen peas 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1/3 cup shredded parmesan 1 cup diced ham (I had leftover ham in the freezer) 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 cup light italian dressing 1 tbsp mayonnaise If I had them I'd also have chopped up some fresh herbs and green onions and maybe red bell pepper or something like that I put the peas and ham in the microwave to thaw, until they were about half thawed, then I added the hot drained pasta, which thawed them the rest of the way and cooled the pasta.  I added the cheese and the italian dressing/mayo mixture, and then seasoned to taste.  It was decent, relatively healthy and fresh, but it was definitely a spur of the moment thing and I'd have to make it a few more times before I found the right combo.  It also tasted a lot better a few hours later after coming together in the fridge.  As far as regular ham and pea salad I like the ham, peas, cheddar cheese, green onion, and light ranch dressing as a fast side dish.
