Taking lunch to work

Once again I've decided to eat out much less during my lunch break at work. I'm trying to go out just one time during the work week. Last week was my first week back and I only went out once, on Friday, and I had Panera Bread.

I lost three pounds of my holiday/trip to Boston weight in 1 week

I wanted to share some of the things I've been eating/drinking

I've been making a lot of hot tea. Wegman's brand orange spice is my favorite
Fruit for breakfast. I like bananas
I also eat Dannon Light and Fit blackberry or raspberry flavored yogurt
I have the individual applesauce cups
Turkey, wheat bread, muenster cheese, lettuce, mayo
Carrots with Sabra supremely spicy hummus
Frozen microwave meals

I am really picky about my frozen microwave meals. I tend to like ones without meat the most. Smart Ones has a new meal out called Pasta with Ricotta and spinach. It was so good I went out and bought a second one for this week :)

I also really like Lean Cuisine's vegetable eggroll meal. It comes with 1 eggroll and some rice.

I have recommended this one before but I really like this chili verde chicken burrito. It tends to be more expensive than the other frozen meals so I only get it once in a while.

When I want something chocolate I have been drinking some nestle hot chocolate for my chocolate fix. I also have cocoa almonds but I dont like them very much. I think they have a strange texture. A chocolate covered almond from Trader Joes would be better. I loved it when Trader Joes sold chocolate covered soynuts. YUM

Low Iodine Diet

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet.

I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread.
