Ahh, the best laid plans...

Nothing insurmountable, and better for all in the long run, but it does require a revamping of today's menu. Chris scooped me up for lunch today and we headed to Jason's Deli. I selected the salad bar, in an effort to minimize the damage, but still wound up with more than I should have had. SO! With that in mind, here's the new menu for today:

B - Kashi cereal w/skim milk (S, 1/2D)
S - LAWL Cafe au Lait (L)
L - Salad bar, with (as best I can remember): lettuce, cuke, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, red bell pepper, small bit of cheese, small bit of hummus, small bit of asian cole slaw, sprinkling of dried fruit mix, sprinkling of a marinated peas/soybeans/black beans mix, 4 toasted flatbread crackers, 3 mini muffins, Italian dressing, and a splotch of some kind of strawberries/grapes/cool whip mixture. I'm counting all of that as (3V, 1Fr, 2S, 2Fa, mayyybe 1/4 of a P and 1/4 of a D)
S - LAWL Hot cocoa
D - umm...let's see...I have remaining: (1 and 3/4 P, 2Fr, 1/4D). Hmm. Riiight.

Okay, screw it, I'm jumping ship on counting the exchanges for today, and will just eat lightly tonight as best I can. Chris has volunteered to take Brenna to practice, which frees me to stay home and make food for dinner, rather than everyone buying garbage from fast food. Since I hadn't planned for this and have nothing thawed out, I think I'll make a chicken noodle soup mix, and will try thawing some chicken breast meat in the microwave to add to it. We've got Saltines...and I can still get my fruits in if I raid the fruit salad later today. I'll swing by the fridge here at work and snag a string cheese later this afternoon to complete my dairy exchange, too.

Since soup has loads of sodium, I'll need to make sure to pound the water intake to help flush it out today and tomorrow.

Tomorrow afternoon, we head down to Branson, so I don't know how well I'll do eating-wise down there, but both Chris and I are trying to make smart food choices now, so he's supportive of my weight loss attempts (the nightly ice cream notwithstanding...at least he DOES make sure to only give me a small bowl, heh.)
