So I took a little shopping trip to Trader Joe's and Caputo's (Market). Ok so I admit I was hungry and reading labels for what you can't have doesn't help so I was a little crabby but what is with people on their phones in the grocery store? I swear this lady was following me. I thought for sure I'll have solice in the Oragnic/Gluten free aisle - but no she showed up there too. And really people - do you have to let your children roam free in a store like Trader Joe's? Do you really want to pay for the $9 jar of Almond Butter when they knock it off the shelf and break it? (Which is why I opted for the $6 plastic jar).
So I worked Monday and took my lunch to work. The doctor suggested I just keep a lunch bag full of the foods I can have and graze throughout the day. Problem with that is we aren't really allowed to "eat" at our desks so I kept just a handfull of blueberries and some cashews up with me.
I was always amazed at people who could just have a tiny bit of salad for lunch but I had spinach with tomatoes and raspberries and some leftover grilled chicken and I was pretty stuffed. In fact I didn't finish my pineapple or carrots I brought with.
I've found that dieting has always made me get creative. So I took some chicken and seasoned it with poultry seasoning and marinated it in balsamic vinegar. Grilled it on the George Forman and according to my Husband it was the best chicken I've ever made. We ate that and some salad and I was pretty full.
I got a little hungry later and pulled out my Rice/flaxseed crackers that are wheat and gluten free to eat with some Hummus. But there was some cake sitting on the table.....I had a little taste. :( Tuesday is a new day.
