Leeeeeeettt's Play Baaallllll!

Hello friends, happy Thursday again. LOL. That's right, this is my second post for today. But my post this morning was an update on yesterday, and this post is an update for today. Day 3 of the South Beach Diet.

Tonight I went to the Astros game. I got AWESOME seats right behind the dugout (literally, I could set my cup on the dugout) and it was a good game! Astros - 3, Mets - 2. Oh yeah!! Go back to NY, Mets!

Today was a success. I did have a few challenges but luckily with a little will power, and some help from my mom, I overcame!! Here's what I had to eat today:

Breakfast:

Scrambled eggs

Snack:

Almonds

Lunch:

Here's challenge number 1 - I had a hair appointment at lunch and didn't have time to pack my lunch this morning before work. So I was on my way to my hair appointment and was STARVING! My WONDERFUL mom offered to bring me lunch to the hair salon! She is awesome, and it really saved me. Otherwise I would have had to wait another 3 1/2 hours to eat! Here's what I had:

Mixed greens and spinach salad from Salata (delish!) with tomatoes, sprouts, mushrooms, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli and grilled chicken. VERY fresh and filling! I wish I had a Salata near my office, I would eat there every day!

Snack:

Baby Dill Pickle

3 - 2% Milk cheese cubes

Tbsp All Natural Peanut Butter on a stick of celery

Dinner:

Dinner was challenge two. We had to eat on the way to the game, and I knew that if I didn't eat before the game, I would be starving before it was over and might succumb to the temptation of all the yummy yet awful for you ball park food. So we stopped at Corner Bakery Cafe. Here's what I had:

Green salad with cucumbers, roasted chicken, tomatoes and artichokes. Good, but a little boring. The Salata salad was much better. BUT, I also think I am burned out on salad today. Nonetheless, it was healthy and followed the plan, SCORE!

One thing at Corner Bakery I did see was that they have Three Lentil and Veggie Soup. I want to look this up to see if its something I can eat. Hopefully Corner Bakery will have their nutritional info on their website....we'll see.

Well, I am super tired and off to have a Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Fudge Bar before climbing into bed. I'll be back soon to update you on my progress.

Until next time, happy eating and thanks for reading!!
