    My new weekly ritual, lol. Chicken breasts in the crockpot with water and buffalo sauce, cut up sweet potatoes then red and green peppers. Serve like chunky soup and sprinkle parmesan cheese on it. Goooooood stuff :)

    dry azz salad with some baked chicken breast and a lot of water.
    Hahahaha. This one made me laugh. Have you ever thought of putting lemon juice and salt and pepper maybe even a little cayenne on the salad? Another thing I used to put instead of fatty dressing was black beans or garbanzo beans or cold peas at the salad bar to me it made it seem less dry and more filling. Gotta thank you though for making me smile with your salad description.

    This with some variations - I use a heart of romaine, no red onion, fat free feta (about 1/4 cup), only a teaspoon of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt:


    South Beach Diet Greek Salad:

    8 leaves romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

    cucumber, peeled, seeded, and sliced

    tomato, chopped

    1/2 cup sliced red onion

    1/2 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

    1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

    2 teaspoon salt

    Combine the lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, and cheese in a large bowl.

    Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, oregano, and salt in a small bowl. Pour over the lettuce mixture and toss until coated.

    This makes a nice accompaniment as a side salad for grilled chicken or fish.

    Serves 1

    Sounds really good, but 500 calories? and 2300mg sodium? OUCH

    I'm about to go heat it up right now - On Sunday I made a big batch of turkey chili, so I brought some left overs for lunch today. It was my first time ever making chili of any sort and it turned out really well; I'm really looking forward to lunch today.

    ohhh and the longer it sits the better it tastes... 2 day old chili is always GOOD!

    I had (318 calories, 1/3 my fat allowance but unfortunately 1/2 my sodium allowance)

    half a carton of Marketside pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions, and peppers) with 1/4 cup feta (you can just use onions and tomatoes if you don't like spicy) (even better with a teaspoon of olive oil, but I forgot to bring it)

    1 piece of whole wheat bread spread with a tablespoon of spinach and artichoke hummus

    A snack size serving of lowfat cottage cheese

    While I don't like using so many prepared foods due to the sodium count, it's easier for me to bring a lot of things that don't spoil quickly on Monday and then spend the week eating them in different combinations. I'm almost always in trouble if I go to the hospital cafeteria. :( You'd think that at a hospital, that everything would be a healthy choice*, but alas, that is not the case!)

    *Admittedly, some kids do need to eat fried and high sugar foods just to keep the weight on. Of course, those are always the kids that crave grilled chicken breast and broccoli...

    I had a can of Progresso light beef pot roast soup, and coffee. This is my first week, and I'm still trying to get away from the mindset of tracking like a WeightWatcher and this system. I find I like this system better,because it shows you all calories, fat,carbs, etc. you ate for the day. Have a great day, everyone!

    I vacuum packed myself salads for the week in mason jars. So I just grab it out of the fridge in the morning and go!! Also, have some Fire Roasted & Olive Oil Triscuits.

    2nd day back to work and I didn't plan well. So I had a Ramen noodle cup and a breadstick. Very filling. Not the healthiest but it's within my calorie goal. Hitting Aldi's after work to make better choices tomorrow

    That's a great idea. I'll have to google how to do that

    Lunch 2 turned out to be a club sandwich with a ton of salad, since I had a bunch of cold cuts in the fridge to use up.

    I had a open faced tuna sandwich. W. Avo, tomato, lettuce and it was yummy,

    Until I figured out the awful taste in my mouth was the avo that was bad. :sad: :sad: :sad:
