Lunch: left overs from the salad yesterday
Snack: unsure, I did have a mild gall bladder attack all afternoon though, that was fun. I don't know what it was from, maybe the eggplant?
Dinner: I had a night of random foods, olives, tarts, salmon, wine

I've been bad about posting...
...but I have been taking pictures of the things I've been eating. Because there are so many though, here are the highlights. I also effed up a few times recently, which you should berate me for.
I ate this for breakfast today. I wanted to try the new flavor of mcdonalds coffee, but they messed up and gave me hazelnut. It's good tho. And I heart bacon egg and cheese biscuits...although I only ate about half of it.
My friend came over one day for lunch. We made pistachio pesto with potatoes and noodles, and then a raspberry salad with a apple cider vinaigrette, that I added lemon zest to. It was a delicious, healthy lunch.
At work one day I got a burger at my this burger place in the skyway. The burger's there are good and the fries are fantastic.
One day I had tamales for dinner. I bought a package that were prepared and frozen from the downtown farmer's market. They are good, but not the best tamales I've ever had.

Back to Work
Breakfast: typical, don't remember if I had a banana
Lunch: Salad, with egg, eggplant, tomatoes, and some other stuff. I think I had some romaine or spring greens with the spinach. My nutritionist told me that spinach has some acid in it that isn't great in high quantities, so I should buffer it with other greens, and dark greens are good. I also had flat bread. I ate about half the salad and saved the rest for my snack, that turned out to be lunch the next day.
Snack: I forgot the snack today
Dinner: A diablo shrimp burrito and chips and salsa from Baja Fresh. Fun fact: while in a waiting room, I was reading some celebrity gossip mag and learned that on the day he and Jennifer Lopez were to be married, Ben Afleck ate at a Baja Fresh in SoCal.

Day Off Work, for reals
Breakfast: typical plus low-fat cheese and another slice of bread - I was off to a personal training appointment that morning
Lunch: At Trader Joe's yesterday, I had the most amazing sample ever. It was lemon pepper pasta with tuna and capers. I made that for myself for lunch around 1 and had a glass of chardonnay [not pictured].
Dinner [Evening eating]: I went to a Unitarian meeting in Livermore and had two brownies, two mini-scones, two italian sodas, and some popcorn [not pictured]

Damn, I walked at LEAST 6 miles today, maybe 7 or 8
Breakfast: 10am
A massive iced coffee and a bagel with egg and cheese - tons of high fructose corn syrup, I'm sure.
Snack: The first checkpoint, before Mile 3
A very tasty granola bar they had for the walkers
Snack: The second checkpoint, before Mile 4
They were offering potato chips and some other unhealthy things too, which was weird to me. This wasn't the best thing either, but it was tasty.
Snack: somewhere between Mile 4 and the Weed Band
Another granola bar
Lunch: 2:30ish
I had a sandwich with three slices of cheese, mustard, tomatoes and pickles
Dinner: 8:30
I had a banana and some canned salmon. There isn't a pic yet because I haven't eaten it, I wanted to post this first and then I need to upload my AIDS Walk pics. I wasn't sure if I wanted to even have dinner, but I figured it would be better to eat something, because I am sure I'd be hungry later.

Chinatown!
Breakfast: A spinach, feta, egg, tomato wrap from the Starbucks near Civic Center. It was in a whole wheat wrap, and not too big. I didn't have time to have a breakfast before I left the house and wanted to eat something before being at a museum for a few hours. It isn't pictured.
Snack: I had a Chinese doughnut while looking for a dim sum place, this was around 3 or something
Lunch: Dim Sum around 3 or something. Not pictured are the two shrimp dumplings [steamed dough around shrimp, basically], I also only had about half of the broccoli and the other shrimp dumpling thingers
Evening eating: Grapes I picked up at Trader Joe's on the way home

Breakfast: oatmeal. takes 1.5 minutes in the microwave. I don't get the instant oatmeal shit 'cause it's not as healthy, and you can cook regular oatmeal just as fast.
Lunch: leftover grilled steak that my sister's boyfriend prepared. Awesome. Blue cheese and slightly grilled onions on top.
Dinner: no one will know what this is, but whatever. Rice with miniature shrimp-stuffed bittermelon. It's a Guyanese thing. My mom made a bunch of these back in the day for me, and they've just been sitting in my freezer because I eat out all the time. So I defrosted it and made rice in the rice cooker.
Snack before bed that appeased the foodie in me: I ate Tete de Moin - a cheese from Switzerland, and compared two types of proscuitto - Di Parma from Italy and Jamon Iberico from Spain. The Jamon Iberico is pretty expensive ($75/lb) and the Di Parma is cheap ($14/lb), so I wanted to compare. Apparently to make the Jamon Iberico they only allow the hog to eat this particular type of acorn. The Jamon Iberico was definitely the better of the two, but I couldn't tell if it was because of the way the meat was cured, or because of the taste of the meat itself. I will continue my assessment :) I also had a little extra old Beemster which is currently my favorite type of cheese, and a large glass of Ledson Winery Red Zin that I got on my visit with Urs. It was an excellent before-bed snack. Not healthy my any means, but lovely. I also shared some of the prosciutto with Mika, the new doggie. She loves it :)

I never really call myself a vegetarian anymore, I always use qualifiers
Breakfast: Typical minus banana, probably.
Lunch
This was the same container, I just wanted to show the tomatoes under the pasta and tofu.
Snack: Banana
Boozin': A Tokyo Tea (and the worst I've had so far, even worse considering the price) and a Tequila Sunrise
Dinner
Yes, that is a hot dog, I was at the club, they were selling hot dogs, I was [bleep]ing hungry, so I bought it. It was delicious.

Breakfast: 9:00 or so: bacon, egg, and cream cheese sandwich on a bun that I got at the farmer's market. Ohhhh the bacon is, too. It is excellent bacon. I made it before I went to work and it took little to no time, and was extremely cheap. Don't know why I buy breakfast most days.
Lunch was leftover subway. Since they do the 12" sammy for $5, I had a 6" sub left. I don't count this as eating out...
Dinner: I made beans and rice. I forgot to take a picture until it was almost gone. I make fantastic beans and rice, and it's easily one of the healthiest things you can eat and also the cheapest. Mine always turns out different, but in addition to the black beans and rice in this batch there is also cilantro, tomatoes, and peppers from my "garden" :) and also red onion, cumin, salt and pepper. I eat it with low fat sour cream. My sister and mom came over to meet my dog (see 17 bottles :), and so even though I made a ton, it's all gone now. I'll make more tonight to bring for lunch this next week!
