I didn't have a salad today, but I did have chicken salad on wheat bread with lettuce and tomato.

Dear Jilly -

Absolutely oatmeal and yogurt are both very good for you! Well done!

Greens will come in their own time. Cherish the progress you're making!

Dear Debbie -

Chicken salad sounds great, and the lettuce and tomatoes are delightful veggies too. I don't eat enough chicken salad; I should try to find a store around here that carries it in their deli area.

I had a free dinner at a new class tonite, and there was salad greens, carrots and tomatoes with balsmic vinaigrette. Also I had two little french bread type rolls with two little chicken legs. Unfortunately the legs were encrusted with breading. But i feel good abut getting in some meat and salad.

I'd like to stay home and have some of my produce tomorrow. We will see what happens.

Dear Jilly -

Right now it's great that you're eating fairly balanced meals with protein and greens in them - don't sweat the small stuff like breading!

I had my traditional veggie salad for lunch today. I'm now pondering dinner.

I'd like to open up a lettuce bag that I got from the food pantry and cook up some of the kielbasa that came in with it. I might also cook up some peppers they gave me.

I think the key will be actually cooking this before i get hungry.

Yum!! I'm having chicken salad for dinner tonight!

I'm going to make home-made ranch dressing - we got some ranch dressing at the store - but it had MSG in it? MSG in salad dressing? Oy!!

That sounds delish, Deanna.

BTW the rich dark colors in your hair look outstanding.

This thread inspired me to do better tonite. I actually sort of made something. I ate a big lettuce bowl with some heated up kielbasa. Mustard on top with some sesame dressing. Then olive loaf bread with brie.

I ate too much bread and brie, but the big bowl of lettuce was a good step.

That is awesome Jilly - one step at a time! Definitely a key is to start planning the meal before you become starving

I'm out of salad mix - annoying! That Bob better get out shopping
