I'm realizing that stress is creeping up on me more slowly than normal and it's been hard to detect. I'm realizing that I'm more frazzled than I thought. I'm realizing that I'm not dealing with it well. I'm realizing that I'm falling into old patterns...This is even more NOT GOOD than normal. Why?? Well, tomorrow I'm heading out for a few days and will not have as much control over my food as I normally would. AND, I've got my AZ/CA/NV road trip coming up. Lots of sitting still and being tempted to eat tons of sugar. I mean, pink snowballs become a necessary food group when on a road trip. Right?
OK, so instead of complaining, what did I do today to manage my stress and eat healthy? Well, I had a little social time, I actually started writing my paper, and I went to the gym for 30 minutes of cardio. I also managed to get cash for tolls and ink for my printer! Not bad. I did also manage to stick to the food plan today, but you'll see that in the pics...
No surprises here...

And here's where I cheated a little...can you spot what's not on the food plan? Don't worry, you'll see it again.
Shepard Salad---cukes, tomatoes, onions and vinaigrette
A and I went out to Turkish restaurant...we shared the salad
stuffed grape leaves, I had 3
Apparently, the meat shown here is the correct portion for the Cop Sis...they brought me another skewer after I asked about it. The rice and bread = AMAZING! I think it was the best rice I've ever eaten. I did not eat the onions or the pickled cabbage.
chocolate fro-yo with a sprinkling of oreos
Yup. Nothing new. Oh! Except the cafeteria now has a giant vat of buffalo sauce...it's on my eggs!
Standard salad with some sort of cauliflower and yellow tomato sautee.
Here, I just went all out...mocha coconut frappeccino with whipped cream and caramel sauce
leftover lentils and basmati rice with broccoli
more buffalo sauce on my eggs!!
So, I did have a salad for lunch...with a piece of pizza. This is my coconut cream frappeccino. Damn Treat Receipts!
Garden salad from Soulfire BBQ
Potato salad and southern fried chicken wings, also from Soulfire BBQ.
I ate 3 of the wings and about 1/2 of the potato salad.
New chips made from brown rice...pretty good!
Can I have a little egg with my vegetables? There are 2 eggs in that scramble...carrots, red pepper, broccoli, onion and yellow squash with salsa. No cheese today. Whole grain toast with a little butter.
Sorry about the blurriness...new food camera and I'm still getting used to it.
Salad for lunch
Amazingly good! The tomatoes and chilis were spiced more than I thought and I added chile powder. The mildly sweet hominy was a great compliment. Corn would have been in this too to offset the spicy.
