In the past, whenever I was home sick, I had a tendency to snack on comfort foods. Today has been really successful on that front, however. I haven’t been overeating, and I haven’t been eating garbage. Between this and my performance at Saturday’s party, I’m really starting to feel secure in my healthy lifestyle. It’s really a great feeling.
I was a little hungry around 12, but not quite enough for lunch yet, so I snacked on a Cocoa Banana Scone:
Yum, delicious as ever. Snack was 134 calories, 25g carbs, 4g fat, and 3g protein.
Around 1:30, I decided on lunch. I used the last of my chickpea cutlets made from Veganomicon to make a chickpea sandwich, plus two slices of Ezekiel 4:9 Bread, spinach, and a wedge of Light Laughing Cow Herb and Garlic Cheese:

Along with my sandwich, I had a 1/2 cup cottage cheese and a half cup of a mixed fruit container that P picked up at the grocery store.
All together:

This lunch was so good. I love some cottage cheese, and P picked up the 2% milkfat (I usually get fat free) - so this was quite a splurge! Plus the combo of the chickpea cutlet and laughing cow was really tasty. That was my last cutlet, so I’m going to have to make another batch.
Lunch was 548 calories, 65g carbs, 13g fat, and 43g protein.
Bah…still laying around the house feeling crummy. Hope your day is going better!
