- ham & cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato & mustard on a whole wheat bagel
- bowl of tomato florentine soup (not shown)
My brother was in the neighborhood today, so I invited him out to lunch. As I'd not yet had my breakfast meal, I decided to kind of skip it and use the calories and such toward lunch so that I could take my brother and my boyfriend out. I guess it's good to be flexible, and I only intended to eat half of this sandwich at the time, but I ended up eating the rest when I got home.
I thought the tomato florentine soup would be a healthy choice, but it turned out to be very salty (probably three days' worth of sodium) and had pasta in it. Oops. I decided to count this meal as my breakfast and snack, even though most likely it exceeds the nutritional limits for both.
It's tough negotiating a diet with my personal life though. I'm going out of town this weekend, and I'm not sure how well I'll do, which concerns me. One one hand I feel like I'm making smarter choices than I used to (trying to balance meals with fruits & veggies instead of getting a double cheeseburger or huge pasta dish), but I also know that the portions I'll get eating out can't possibly fit within dietary restrictions.
I've put off transferring my gym membership, which is the one way I can actually counter-act occasional lapses in the diet. I hope to get to it soon.
