Yesterday was a disaster with food because I left my bag in the refrigerator and then dh forgot to bring it to me. I held out until 11AM and then had to hit the vending machine for "healthy alternatives." Our machines are terrible! You know(or you may not know if it's been a while) the vending machines put a little symbol next to the snacks that are "healthy." Well, I had two choices: animal crackers and cookies. There are no nuts, trail mix, or even pretzels in that machine! I feel like I should request more healthy snacks but I don't eat out of the vending machine enough to feel like I should have a vote. Today I have my meals and am planning on a much better day. BTW, I had a pretty good workout yesterday. DD wouldn't let me do anything so I used her as my weight instead of my hand weights. I held her to my chest and did lunges and squats. I layed her on my shins and did leg extensions, one leg at a time. Then I put her on my chest again and did abs. I felt kind of guilty "using" her but she seemed to enjoy it!
Breakfast - 2 hard-boiled eggs, coffee, orange
Snack - Orange
Lunch - chicken, mixed vegetables
Dinner - salmon, veggies
Working chest and triceps today. And I'll throw abs in at the end.

10 years ago my journal would have been something like this:
Breakfast: cookies
Lunch: McDonalds combo
Snack: chips & ice cream
Dinner: meat, white rice, veggie
Exercise: what's that?
:)
mine would have been:
breakfast: grapenuts and skim milk with banana, coffee with skim milk
lunch: hummus and tabouli pita sandwich, baked lays, diet coke
dinner: white pasta topped with asparagus and mushrooms stirfried in veg broth and fresh lemon juice
yes i was very "lean cuisine" and "cooking light" back then (except vegetarian). i cooked and baked a lot more than i do now.
i'm not sure what you mean about how to manage pasta and asparagus, i just chopped the asparagus and mushrooms and sauteed them
Ten years ago, it was the middle of the "fat free" era.
