Fri Feb 6th - What I'm Eating

Posting a little earlier than usual tonight - feeling quite exhausted and going to bed early.

Breakfast: Ezekiel cereal, what else? I was in a hurry, had to work early...

Lunch: Potluck at a friend's house so I will try to remember what I ate: whole wheat pasta salad with onions, black olives and I think some olive oil & other seasonings... quinoa pasta salad with chicken, broccoli, bell peppers, not sure what else... strawberries, blueberries, pineapple... chicken tortilla soup with sour cream - I didn't notice any tortilla in it though, mainly just tomatoes and chicken! red rooibos tea...

Dinner: Jason's Deli - half a wrap in a whole wheat tortilla with ham, cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato... salad bar big baby greens salad with bean salad & mushrooms and blue cheese dressing. grapes and strawberries in yogurt. banana pudding.

Analysis: a rather odd day of eating. I did avoid the muffins and scones at the potluck... Banana pudding at Jason's I've decided is a splurge I am allowed. We go there probably not even once a month, so that is a treat for me. How bad can it be? Milk, bananas, gelatin, a little sugar? Hopefully its not full of fake stuff and preservatives and I guess I could find out, but I tend to give Jason's a fair bit of credit. If you are not familiar with this chain, they really have a lot of organic items on the salad bar, they are fully trans-fat free, they seem to have a good conscience when it comes to food quality. Maybe its just marketing and I shouldn't make assumptions and actually ask to see the ingredient list... I swear if I found out there was something worse than a bit of sugar in that pudding, I would never eat it again...hence the reason I've chosen ignorance up to this point. Ok, ok, next time I go there I will check the ingredients first!

I fully intend to do the milk and dairy post this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled!
