The New Mealplan, and Fiber

Although my new magazine has arrived with the SELF Challenge in tow, this year they are simply giving you a prepared menu. Breakfast= have this kind of omelette. Lunch = have this kind of salad. Much less flexibility, though I will admit it is less complicated than in years past. So I'm using it as a guide rather than a set of laws.

I desperately needed to go on a date last night, and we've found out about this new restaurant nestled between the ski resorts. They serve what was rudely described to me as "yuppy food." And if yuppy means edible and delicious, I agree... instead of a salad being iceburg lettuce with a slice of fatty meat and ice water with stuff floating in it... instead I had a beautiful mexican salad with pulled pork, black beans, avocado and more. Not a pillar of health, but a pillar of taste, and that was an awesome plan.

So this morning for breakfast I ate Kashi GoLean Crunch, and it was good. I ate 1.5 servings, and therefore got about 14g of fiber. Yea! My obstacles are this: teachers who bring treats to our classes. They are of course my favorite!, but are also a challenge since I will eat whatever someone offers me. Vending machine-- I've mentioned this one, but its presence is very real. And finally eating out: servings are huge, and they still tasted good after the prescribed amount. So I keep eating.
