Day 9

Well, today was an interesting one.  Work was super long again -- honestly can't wait for orientation to be over.  I had a tiny splurge in the food department this afternoon.  Up until today, I haven't had any cravings and have been able to turn down tempting for pretty easily.  But today, one of my coworkers brought in homemade red velvet cupcakes...I ended up having part of one.  I'm glad I didn't eat the whole thing, but a bit disappointed that I just absentmindedly grabbed on and started to munch.  Aside from that little incident, today went according to plan.  This was the second high calorie peak today.

I went into a serious cooking kick tonight for dinner.  I have been madly in love with this site called Skinnytaste for about a year now.  All of the recipes on here are 100% healthy and low fat.  I made the broccoli pasta recipe tonight and added chicken cooked in garlic, onions, a little olive oil and lemon juice.  I also made a spinach and romaine salad with strawberries, onion, almonds, sunflower seeds, craisins and a really simple dressing of 4 parts olive oil, 1 part balsamic vinegar, lemon juice to taste with salt and pepper.  On top of that, I bought fresh strawberries, blueberries and bananas and chopped them up into a fruit salad of their own.  I can't believe I forgot to take pictures.  In any case, it was delicious and my boyfriend really liked it, too.  :)
