So for the last 3+ weeks I've had to prepare pretty much every meal I eat on Sunday afternoons. Which I'm doing mainly because I know I will not cook dinner at night or feel up to packing a lunch. (Pretty sure this is a big part of my weight issues)
I do a big shop on Saturday and buy exactly what I need for the week, no more or less. On Sunday I start the slicing and dicing of veggies and lettuce and the prep of that week's protein. It's becoming easy -- though on week one I was frazzled to shit.
Today was the first day I actually forgot my lunch. Which is particularly frustrating as I literally have THREE alarms on my cellphone that beep and say, "don't forget lunch". Yup. But I did.
I thought sneaking away to Whole Foods would do the trick, however when I got there they only had one protein which was dark tuna - Yuk! Also, they didn't have romaine lettuce OR any of the veggies I usually eat at lunch and therefor could eyeball the quantity. What a waste.
So I made as close to a salad I THINK I can eat as possible and just hope I don't end up starved or end up way over my calories for the day. Which - by the way he says can be as low as 900 a day based on my food diary. Scary shit considering I usually would consume 900 calories in wine usually (or more!).
Needless to say I think it'll be a while before I'm going out for meals. You can literally almost trust no one. My doctor told me his wife used to get this one salad from CPK a few times a week until she finally asked and it was revealed the salad contained over 1800 calories... So even when you think you're being good at a restaurant you can be wrong. Terribly wrong in the case of CPK.
It does suck not letting the office pay for my lunch anymore. I mean damn! I'm offered a free lunch and I can't take it! How many people would kill to be offered a daily free lunch? Maybe someday I could go back to letting them buy me lunch -- but not for a loooong while.
ANYWAY, I'm rambling - but I guess that is what a blog is for.
The good news is Weasley can have my lunch that I forgot today for his dinner. He'll be so freaking happy! He loves my cooking oddly. He also eats toilet paper - so I dare not flatter myself.
