Today was a day where I could have really screwed up. Our department at work had its monthly birthday celebration (which included my birthday this month) and tonight was Keno night! At the birthday celebration there were cupcakes upon cupcakes, but luckily, there were also apples and grapes. I was strong and filled a bowl with apple slices and red grapes. And we had Keno at a pancake house that pretty much serves nothing low-fat or vegan. So, I ate this Spicy Thai Coconut Corn Soup
I used chili powder instead of curry powder. It was spicy and satisfying, and I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. Next time I make it, I think I’ll add some chopped red bell pepper. At the pancake house, I ordered a bowl of fresh strawberries and tea. Oh, yeah. Who was a strong girl today? Honestly, I wasn’t even really that tempted by all the pancakes, eggs, French toast and desserts everyone else ordered.
For lunch I had some steamed veggies and beans. Just the frozen kind you steam in the microwave—-nothing too exciting, but it was filling and healthy. For breakfast there were bagels again! Damn it! At least they arrived before I’d made my oatmeal. I had a whole wheat one. Should have had oatmeal, but on the plus side, the bagel kept me full until lunch. I didn’t even have to have a mid-morning snack.
Exercise was light today, just 30 minutes or so of walking.
So that was the day. Two major dietary crises averted. Not bad, right?
