Staying away from the refreshments..

Tonight will be a challenge...

Breakfast was not so hot - I had a black bean breakfast burrito. It was very bland, and I will not be making it again. I like the eggs alone, but the whole wheat wrap made it bland and too grainy.

But before I get to lunch, yesterday taught me a lesson. I was busy during the day, and neglected to eat any snacks (of the two recommended per day - think small meals throughout the day as being better than three large meals). I went to bed super hungry, and woke up a bit irritable. DON'T SKIP ON THE SNACKS! If you think it's too late to eat a snack (like before bead) a glass of skim milk usually does the trick! I'm thinking tomorrow I will post a whole thing on healthy and unhealthy snacks because that's something I didn't learn until recently.

For lunch (and I'm going to make it for dinner), words cannot explain how delicious this is: Zucchini and Mozzarella Flatbread

I love Flatbread - and I found a great whole grain brand - Aladdin's Bakers. I bought it at shoprite. No words - really no words!

Here are some tips for buying bread:

• Look for bread that has a couple grams of fiber, it adds to the richness in your diet and means there will be less fillers
• Bread that has fewer than 100 calories per slice - these often have the same amount of nutrients as our unhealthier friends, but they won't make you feel disgusting later!
• In our house we eat pita pockets. These are delicious and easy to pack in case you're in a rush and need to eat lunch at your desk or on-the-go.
  

For a snack I also made a deviled egg with a kick . It was like any other deviled egg - I will be trying Rocco Dispirito's version at some point. I'll let you know, which is better.

I'm getting a communication award tonight, and there will be refreshments. Let's see how I fair. I will update tomorrow!

Feeling better than ever - join me on my journey.. 361 Days to go!
