Today my good food choice was...

Matcha Sencha is my favorite green tea, you can order it online.

Just had 2 slices of ezekiel bread with no-sugar apple butter for lunch/snack. YUM.

Also - I got this loaf at the local coop and froze it. Not sure why, but it is MUCH MUCH better than the last loaf I got (at Trader Joe). This is DELICIOUS!

At Trader Joe's it was just on the regular shelf with the bread.

At my coop, it was in the freezer. They had various flavors/types. I just got the regular. I wonder if buying it frozen made it stay fresher or something. It is much moister and nicer. The TJ one tasted sort of like cardboard (sorry to say).

Good food choices today were almond butter on Ezikiel bread and green tea.  More green tea as a snack and a 1/2 wheat pita/hummas/portabello mushroom sandwich.

Tonight will be a veggie sandwich at a newer sandwich/bar restaurant near my house. 

Went to the gym - my husband worked late and asked me to stop at the pizza place and bring him some slices.  Did so - but NONE for me. And it was EASY to pass on.  Instead I cut up and sauteed an onion and big yellow pepper.  Cooked a (non soy) veggie burger, melted a little goat cheese on top and ate with thet sauteed veggies. What a TREAT!  Way better than pizza.

So, I tried a tip from anti-cancer.  When I was asked to lunch today I went online and looked at the menu and made a good decision before going there and smelling/seeing the yummy bad things.  It worked!  I didn't even look at the menu, just ordered as planned.

Good food choices today were banana, almond milk and a smidge of almond butter smoothie.  Yummy!   For lunch I made chicken salad with veganiasse, cranberries, walnuts, curry powder, tumeric and ate this with whole grain Ezikeil bread.

I am craving some cauliflower with curry tonight for dinner.  This recipe has caught my eye

Have any of you ever ordered multiple side dishes as your entree? I have done 2 appetizers in the past, but never order sides.  My friends and I are going out to dinner and a play this week.  Most of them want to go a nearby steakhouse.  Okay, I figure that I can get something there.  ::enter annoying buzzer sound here:: WRONG!  There are no vegeterian dishes on the menu.  The closest is a caesar salad (with anchovies--which I will eat, but I would rather have something warm).  So, I am thinking about ordering the steamed broccoli, steamed spinach and a bowl of soup.  That looks weird doesn't? 

Oh and had an appointment with a nutritionist on Friday.  Netnet-I don't have to avoid anything, everything in moderation--with the exception of processed meats.   However, I think I am still pretty comfortable with no red meat, no pork, limited organic chicken/turkey, some fish, a little dairy, but mostly veggies and fruit. I will have a glass of wine once in a blue moon, thinking birthdays and Christmas.

Corinne I do that all the time.  My DH loves a good steak house.  They usually have a good house salad (no cheese for me), then if I feel like carb splurging I'll get a baked potato and a side like green beans or asparagus.  I ask them to just steam it with out butter.  I've never had anyone balk at the request.  I do however gross them out when I put A-1 sauce on my potato.  What can I say the brain thinks it's meat.....

I do ask if the veggies are fresh or frozen....when that's all you're eating for dinner it makes a difference. 

I never really thought about it but you're right on about the separate little plates!

I had veggie vindaloo yesterday with too much naan.  Also had a bowl of veggies and brown rice for lunch.

Today, I am going to have less carbs in order to try to offset the damage I did last night.  Salad or soup today and leftover veggie vindaloo for dinner tonight.

Tomorrow I will do the veggie sides as an entree at the steak house. 

Naan is a an Indian flat bread.  Think of a pita, but fluffier and served warm.  You can it plain,  with garlic slivers, or baked with chives.  It often has a little bit melted butter or ghee brushed on top.  Its common to eat your Indian food with naan and your hands. You pick up parts of your food with the naan bread instead of utensils.

That is why I like this thread too.  It gives me good ideas...like an ezikeil bread, almond butter and banana sandwich that I now eat when I am craving something sweet.

Amy, maybe I just haven't been good long enough.  It sometimes overwhelmes me that I have to make this not a diet, but a lifestyle change and I still crave "bad" foods all the time. 

Fairly good today though.  Since I am in radiation I allowed myself to indulge in a chicken breast, half avocado and salad rolled into a whole wheat tortilla for lunch. Crackerbread with peanut butter and fruit for breakfast.  Plain (no sugar in it) puffed brown rice cereal for a late dinner.

Tomorrow I am going to try to make no sugar, home made granola bars (sweetened with dried fruit.)
