Breakfast: A Black Forest Yogurt Parfait - a couple of Tablespoons of Chocolate Milk flavor Celebrate Vitamins ENS, mixed in 4 oz of plain Greek Yogurt, a squirt of Sugar Free Black Cherry Torani Syrup and Fresh Cherries. I made a couple, wrapped them in plastic wrap for a quick grab and go breakfast. Don't forget your plastic spoon!

Lunch: It was odd weather yesterday, sort of Florida-ish, humid and the sky threatened rain. At one point we got a few spots, just enough to smear the skylights and make the ants outside happy. Speaking of ants. Warning: never spray ant killer on a breezy day. The other night I went out and saw an ant hill so I grabbed my trusty bug spray and zapped them. A breeze blew some back at me and I inhaled it. No big deal or so I thought... within a few minutes it wasn't pretty. I thought I might have to bite the bullet and go to urgent care. I road it out (no health insurance sucks) but I wasn't OK for most of the day. Coughing, difficulty breathing, gnarly headache, shakes, attempted puking (I don't really puke post WLS weight loss surgery.) I'm feeling no long term effects but if I develop a third eye or something we know how it happened. D*** ants better have had it worse than I did.
Anyway despite the mixed bag weather I took lunch outside. It has been my 2013 goal to get outdoors more... my bento box helps.
Pink Box (top left): A dollop of Broccoli Slaw and Kale Salad with Chicken
Green Box (top right): More Cherries (love)
Blue Box (bottom left): Low Sodium Roast Beef with mustard for dipping, Fresh Mini Mozzarella Ball
Orange Box (bottom right): Homemade Protein Square
The salad was a new Trader Joe's find (in the refrigerator section.) Shredded Broccoli, Carrots, and Cabbage, chopped Kale leaves, Red Onion, Chicken, Dried Cranberries. Sunflower Seeds and a Sweet and Spicy Vinaigrette come on the side and can be added to the extent you want to up the calories.

Dinner: Easiest way to cook fish ever. I had some Zucchini that needed using, a Green Onion, some Dill, a little Lime Zest, a tablespoon of Olive Oil, Tilapia Fillet (Costco.) Wrap everything in foil tightly.
Toss on a covered BBQ for 20 (defrosted) - 25 (frozen) minutes and depending on the thickness of the fillet. Don't open the lid. Trust me it will come out perfect every time.
More Foil Packet Dinners
Snacks: Too much coffee and a bag of Cruncha-ma-me Freeze Dried Edamame in the new Onion & Chive flavor (tastes like Sour Cream and Chive Lays Potato Chips but soooo much better for you.)
More days in my pouch.
