It was okay - I was worried that there wasn't much to it, so I'd be hungry. I actually ended up eating it on Saturday because the office held a surprise lunch. I don't even want to get into what I ate last Friday. Horrible. But I've been getting back on track since then.

^This.

Today's Bento is not so exciting. Emily Bites Sausage, Egg and Cheese Hashbrown cups and about 1/2 cup of green beans. The hashbrown cups stuck to my muffin tin (I didn't spray them so well ahead of time, I guess) so they were a bit crumbly, and falling apart. I don't have any sauce for my green beans. Oh, I also have an…

So cute!! And it looks yummy. Maybe you need some meat on the side - like turkey bacon! LOL.

Second verse, same as the first! This time, I have my bacon, egg and cheese biscuits from the Emily Bites site, with 1/4c of brown rice and about 10 snow peas. I've been on a muffin sized food items kick, so I'm going through Emily Bites' muffin recipes and trying a bunch out. They've been really good so far. (But her…

Your new box is so cute!! Your lentil wrap looks really filling, too. Yum. I got to eat my food today - I'm still hungry, because I have a heck of a lot of calories left for the time of day. So, I'm trying to find something decent for me to eat, since I don't have anymore food with me. LOL. Also, I love brussel sprouts!

Here's my bento for today. 2 Enchilada Won Ton "Cupcakes", 3/4 cup of brown rice with salsa, and about 1/2 cup of snow peas. We'll see if I get to eat it today, since I'll be in a super long meeting!

I'm back! And I added 2 miles to my total, bringing me to 172.2. I'm gunning for the halfway to Rivendell mark! Edit: You know what? I'm just putting it out there that I am going to get halfway to Rivendell by midnight on January 31, 2013. I have challenged myself. It's only 56.8 miles from where I am, so I'm doing it. I…

Sorry - tried to fix it for you, but it didn't work.

I went to a couple of meetings. Like returntorural says, there are all kinds of people there, not just overweight people, but recovering anorexics, etc. Since there was only one meeting that fit in my schedule, I ultimately didn't go back because I wasn't fitting in with the group. They were very welcoming, but sometimes…

Yoovie, You Rock!

bump

Finally added 8.4 more miles, which I think takes me to 170.2. Will update and add ticker soon.

Bump! Thanks so much for this thread!

HOT DISH!! So, what did you think of last week? I know I felt like I wasn't really doing the bentos justice. I definitely wanted to do some cut outs of things and make cute decorations, but in the end just didn't have time to do that. And, it felt a little like cheating since a lot of it was the same thing every day. I'm…

The final bento of the week! I had to use a different container because I was lazy and didn't do my dishes last night. IDK why, but I've been super tired this week. Anyway, it's another do over, with Asian Turkey Meatballs, Asian Mango Slaw, Rice and -something new: Grapes! Ha ha. Contain yourself - I know it's shocking.…

I really like the zucchini tots - but they are best hot and straight from the oven. I couldn't stop myself from eating them! Room temperature they are still good - just not kryptonite, you know? :laugh: The one thing that I need to do better the next time I make them is really squeeze all the moisture out of the zucchini.…

Bento for Thursday is not very exciting - it's a mishmash of stuff from earlier in the week: Adobo chicken, Asian turkey meatballs, zucchini tots and the ubiquitous Asian Mango salad. After I took the pic, I threw in 4 strawberries, as well. I was afraid the lack of rice would leave me too hungry.

Woot! Go Lady Val! There was a post in the message boards the other day about people being so serious about weight loss and needing to relax because it's not like we're Frodo going to Mordor - and I thought: "Hey! Some of us ARE going To Mordor!" We rock. That is all.

Are you in the US? What about Peace Corps?

Is bubble tea the same as milk tea? 'Cause I tried that on my very first trip to L.A., and it was awful. I just couldn't drink it - something about the bubble pearl things having a weird consistency. I didn't eat the pasta today, and think I will throw out the rest. It wasn't so much that the consistency was off, it's just…

Ooh -thanks for the link - looks really good! So, I'm in an all day conference tomorrow (today), so I'm not going to be around much. But, here is my bento for Wednesday: It's my first attempt at making sushi - it's tuna salad sushi. With my traditional Asian Mango Slaw and two mini cupcake sized servings of tomato mac and…

Oooh - that looks good! I must find a recipe for curried cauliflower - that sounds delish! And the shrimp looks really good. I almost chose shrimp for one of my meals this week and rejected it. But now I'm thinking I may want to do it. Of course, I have next to no time to cook during the week, so it would be a miracle to…

My bento for yesterday ended up being about 340 cals. About where I am for lunch on days when I eat AM and PM snack. But not on days when I just eat 3 meals a day. No wonder I was hungry afterwards! LOL. I need to work on building up my cals a little.

So, I'm definitely going to have doubles in my bentos, because that's normally how I cook for the week. I tried to come up with a couple of things that could be a little versatile, but in the end, it's going to be a little bit of a repeat. So, I'm really okay with multiple day stuff. I also think it's totally fine to use…

Bento for Tuesday, 11/6! This is another Skinnytaste special: Filipino Adobo chicken, rice, the Asian Mango Slaw again and Zucchini tots! I made my zucchini tots mini, so there's 6 in here and that about half a serving. Edit: I swear I tried to make the pic bigger. Grr. So, since it's so little, a description: the steamed…

Cauliflower Fritters. I just made these last night and they are delicious! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/02/cauliflower-fritters-25.html

You look incredible and I adore your tattoo!! Congrats!

Monday Bento! I did a bunch of recipes from Skinnytaste's asian inspired section. I have turkey meatballs, a lime soy sauce to go with it, steamed rice, asian mango slaw and cauliflower fritters. Yum! Bear with me while I figure out the pics. Sigh. Here's my bag and bento box! My pics are a little small!

Your bento looks really good! Yummy! I wanted to have some more exciting rice for today, but just ran out of steam cooking yesterday. I'll get to it later this week, I think!
