Question of the Day (8/14)

Hi Lesa! Welcome! Nice to meet ya. Thanks for delurking. I tend to overindulge too much in take out too, so I know what you mean.

Feel free to stick around. We have a great group of people here.

I am only home Saturdays & Sundays and on Saturdays, I usually eat a late breakfast for lunch and Sunday, we will either go out as a family after church or i put something in the oven before we leave and have a family dinner. During work days, i usually take leftovers for lunch. I purposely make extra for supper so that i can do that. If I don't cook or everyone is more hungry than usual, I do admit to making a trip to Rally's or McDonalds ... the other day i found a new Tim Hortons and got a turkey sandwich which was good too. I do like the salads from McDonalds though too and i'll get one of those if I'm feeling yucky.

I'm the same way - mexican food is my favorite and of course tacos and burritos are some of the worst things I can eat. I am always tempted by food smells and just to look at something yummy makes me drool. But I'm overweight and have type2 diabetes so I've been trying to be good. My sister wants me to follow her example and do the whole carb-free thing (atkins diet) but my nutritionist says some carbs like whole grain bread and apples are good for you so I am living a borderline carb-free lifestyle. I still eat mexican flavored meats and vegetables but I pass on the tortillas, rice and corn. And at work I still go to the cafeteria but I make myself a breadless deli sandwich (turkey slices wrapped in lettuce leaves stuffed with other veges) or stick to good stuff at the salad bar and use the low-cal dressing instead of ranch or blue cheese, and for snacks I have a little cottage cheese or a cheese stick.
