How Today Is Shaping Up
I started today off with a very pleasing breakfast. You should know that I love breakfast. No, really, I cannot do without breakfast. A day without breakfast is a day with a ragingly grumpy Donna. You never, ever want to see me on a day that I’ve not had breakfast.
Ok, so, today’s breakfast was a miniature whole wheat bagel. Yes, really, the Thomas brand makes cute little miniature bagels. They really are filling despite their size. So, anyway, back to what I was saying. I had a miniature whole wheat bagel with a dab of diet cream cheese, along with a warm yummy bowl of instant grits (made with water, not milk). That little meal was enough to satisfy both my taste buds and my tummy.
Not sure what lunch will be but I’m thinking it might be worth making the long trek out of the boondocks and into the “city” for some Taco Bell. Yes, Taco Bell! Why? Well, ok, first off, I love Taco Bell. It fits right into my love of junk food and love of Mexican food. (Don’t tell me it’s not Mexican food. Sure, I know it’s not “real” Mexican food, but that’s what we call it down here, k?).
So anyway, one would normally think Taco Bell would be off-limits on a diet, right? This “one” would think so, yes. However, I just received an email newletter from SparkPeople that included an advertisement for Taco Bell’s newest offering. They now have what they call their Fresco menu, which has 9 items with 9 grams of fat or less. Checking it out, I see that each item would fit into the 300 or so calories for a meal. Could even eat two of some items. Pretty cool. I doubt I’ll actually go into the city today for this, but the next time I’m there for some other reason, I may “indulge” myself with a little Taco Bell. Emotionally, I’ll feel like I’ve eaten something fattening, but I won’t really have cheated. That’ll be fun!
No idea what’s up for dinner yet. Decisions, decisions. So many to make. Will let you know when I know.
Later, y’all.
We need your support! Even if it’s just wishing us luck every now and then, we’d be grateful. Of course, linking to the contest or becoming a sponsor would be very cool too, and would be appreciated by the winning charity, I’m sure!
