Little Victories

Emily, the part of your post about focusing on the little victories rather than what is not in place yet was very encouraging to me.

So here is my little victory for the week: the chicken barley soup. Actually it came in the form of three victories because I had it for dinner, lunch the next day and then dinner again the third day. Not only was the soup healthy, but it was very economical!

When I reflect back on this week, unfortunately the soup is the only victory to report. For lunches, I mostly had my usual easy-to-heat up Lean Pocket. And my other hunger-cravings were filled by the unending irresistable temptations of chocolate.

Well, actually I took a spinach salad with feta & walnuts to work Wednesday, but here it is Friday and it is still at work in the refridgerator uneaten because I didn't have any dressing.

Does it count for anything that I made a salad? Or do I actually have to consume it for it to count?

Next week: broccoli. I bought the huge bag from Costco for about $4 and have used exactly 8 pieces. I put 4 pieces in Jason's lunch on Thursday and 4 pieces on Friday. I am way behind on using up the bag before it starts to go bad.

That reminds me, Emily, did you manage to eat all the Spinach?
