My day started off well. I exercised and ate a good breakfast. By the time lunch arrived I was not so hungry so I decided to just "snack". That's always not a good idea. I started out good with a bowl of cherries then things got drastically worse from there. There were chips and two chocolate chip cookies also eaten after the madness was over. That's a big no-no for me. Well, I wasn't going to let the day get by without getting back on track so I decided a healthy dinner was in order. Salad. But I needed a substantial salad that would satisfy me and I wouldn't be tempted by those darn chocolate chip cookies again. So I raided the fridge and the pantry and this is what I came up with. I made some grilled chicken for my carnivore hubby, but he was truly happy with this heck of a chopped salad as he called it. I just finished dinner and I'm full and happy. Those darn cookies won't get the best of me... (I hope). : )
