Chicken salad with mustard dressing

Lots of useful advice! I agree with going for more lean protein and salad, and this is what I try to do. The thing is that usually there isn't any grilled lean meat at these buffets, most dishes are variations of noodles with meat or fish, meat in cream sauce, fried stuff etc etc. So I skipped all that completely, as well…

@mangrothian‌ what type of protein servings do you freeze? I tried freezing some rice for the first time this week and it went great. Too great, it was so tempting that the portions never made it for the bentos. I had them as afternoon snacks with tuna and mayo...

It is hard, but I find I can do it when I plan the day in advance. Here's a list of protein sources, with a separate list for vegeterians and vegans http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/926789/protein-sources/p1

@vismal, good points, and I am aware that most likely what I ate is more than that. I tried to be as accurate as possible when I logged this meal to see what is the minimum of calories it could have been. I usually up the quantities to give me a bit more room. Having said that, the beef was literally as big as a 50cent…

I've been craving greek food, so my bento for tomorrow has greek lentil stew, boiled cauliflower with olive oil and lemon, rusk, olives and a few slices of radish (sorry for the crappy pic)

I just realized I haven't posted my progress at all this month. I was on travel until Jan 20 and could not keep track of my walking until then, but since I got back I immediately resumed my daily walks (thanks to my dog! :) ) I'm now at 29.2km total, out of 30km for this month.

For me the most wonderful effect of consistent exercise is its effect in my daily life. I'm not afraid to move any more, to walk, to run, to bend, to jump, to sit on the floor and play with my nephew. At my highest weight, a 3min walk to the nearby supermarket was frustrating. Carrying the bags back was a pain. Bending to…

oh wow I hadn't seen this thread before! I don't have the time to prepare a bento every day, but I often do. Here a couple recent ones

I'll be on travel for most part of January and although I'll be walking as much as I can, I'm not sure I'll be able to log it. So the goal for this month is just 30km, for about the 10 days I'll be home.

My total for December: 112.2km :)

Reached 103km total today! *yay* I made it!

I haven't updated my miles for a while, these days are so hectic! 84.8km up to now, it looks like I'll reach my goal with no problem this time! Merry Christmas to everyone!

50km up to today 12/15! And I'm so happy I'm on track this month *yay*

Not a very good pic or food styling, but this was delicious. I've been playing a lot with my pancake recipe lately to reduce its calories and this is a nice version of oatmeal chocolate chip pancakes. The chocolate syrup is not my favorite but I just want to get rid of it...

I'm in for 100km again in December. 2.8km done this morning.

74.1km total out of 100 for November. I didn't make it this time, but I hope I will in December...

Just made a bento for lunch tomorrow: xynohondros (sour cracked wheat), scallops, papaya

29.7km/100 up to now.

14.8km/100 for me up to now. I need to catch up, it's Nov 10 already.

3.5km total out of 100 My phone GPS often can't find a signal, I did at least 2 more kms that are not recorded. So annoying! I probably need a new phone...
