I got an interesting comment yesterday from Coley asking how I’m not losing weight with what I’m eating. It really was a sweet comment.
Long story short, I do work hard on my portions and eating the right foods. I’m not perfect, not close, but I’m working really hard and not seeing a lot of results. Part of the problem is Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS) and the rest is that I love carbs and those two things don't mesh. It’s frustrating but I’m working through it.
I had a breakfast meeting today, I knew that the food there wasn’t going to be fiber/protein heavy so I went ahead and had my chia bagel at home.
yum. This is such a good breakfast. When I got to the office I had my raisins. I just LOVE these. I’m thinking of taking Ashley’s advice and switching it up with dried apricots…
I also had a lunch meeting, we decided on eating at a local asian restaurant, Taki’s it’s the one asian place I’ve been that doesn’t automatically offer chopsticks. I got some today though (since I requested it). I ordered an 8 piece california roll.
I had no meetings all afternoon which meant that the hungry monster came out to play. I’m glad that I have some 100 calorie packs to the rescue. I have chex mix, which isn’t too tempting, but satisfying.
And the ever evil, totally NOT natural/healthy cheetos. These are kept in Dan’s car. I WANT something like this in the afternoon. Left to my own devices I may wander across the street and buy something. This way I have something, it has fewer calories than anything I’d buy straight out.
Gross. Right? See, I’m trying not to tempt anyone. After work, I headed to Lala’s with Andrea. We split an amazingly delicious crepe.

Then I ordered the Roman Artichokes. I was very mistaken about the definition of “lightly battered.”

Oops. Not so healthy. When I got home, Dan heated up some leftover chow-dah. (half a serving)
Dan made some healthy fries and I had a couple. Too much food. but so delicious!
If you are a blogger do you share every morsel that you eat or what is your bloggy philosophy?
