Birthday Dinner

I ate dinner at work so that we wouldn't have to do any cooking or cleaning.  I had a veggie burger with cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato.  A few French fries, a tomato and basil grilled cheese sandwich, some hominy casserole, and some squash.  Yum!  It was way too much food though.


Back home, my friends surprised me with some cake.  I had a piece, which was tasty, but again, I had way too much to eat.

Birthday Lunch

Yesterday was my birthday.  I ate way too much at both lunch and dinner.  Oh well.  One day a year is not a huge deal.


At the top left is a butternut squash soup.  I thought it was alright, but apparently later batches were too salty.  The main plate has a bunch of curry, but it was just OK, I don't even think I ate it all.


They had some tomato and mushroom pizza, so I had two small pieces of that.


I also had some of the Brussels sprouts.


And a piece of chocolate cake, since it was my birthday.

Lunch As The First Meal Of The Day

Morning weigh-in on Friday was 234.4 pounds.  I seem to be fluctuating a lot.  I also wound up skipping breakfast.  Lunch at work was a crab cake and fake crab (tofu) cake with remoulade, a strange nori and potato roll with sweet chili soy sauce, one cheese-stuffed manicotti, and a miniature elephant ear (very miniature).


The crab cakes were not really to my liking, so I went back for a big salad with spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, tofu, garbanzo beans, onion, avocado, and honey sesame ginger dressing.


They had a cake shaped like a milkshake, so I had to have a little of that.

The Sampler

Lunch at work on Friday was a sampling of a bunch of different things that sounded good to me. On my plate are: a vegan tofu and vegetable skewer, some flatbread, some eggplant korma (just above the flatbread), some curried potatoes, and some grilled asparagus. In the bowl is some potato and goat cheese soup. Yum!


Even after all of that (which wasn't really all that much), I was still a little hungry. Instead of hitting up something super caloric, I decided for a bunch of veggies, after learning that the salad bar now has sprouts. The dressing is some sort of Asian sesame something or other. But I've got lettuce, corn, tomatoes, onion, sprouts, and broccoli!

I still wanted something a little sweet, so I got a tiny piece of coffee cake, since it had some sort of filling that I hadn't seen before.

Burrito For Lunch

I skipped breakfast this morning since I woke up so late.  But morning-weigh in was 234.8.  Blah.

For lunch today, I had a burrito.  I started with the fixin's: lettuce, salsa fresca, sour cream, and cheese.


Then I added some cilantro lime tofu and some guacamole.


Then I ate it, with a glass of Fresca.

To be honest it was just OK.  I forgot to get some beans and rice, which I wanted.  For dessert I had a piece of mixed berry shortcake with whipped cream, which was also just OK.

Lasagna And Salad

Lunch yesterday included the choice of falafel, but since I didn't want to repeat last night's dinner, I opted for the mushroom and spinach lasagna (two small pieces), and filled the rest of my plate with a salad of spinach, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, onion, and a blackberry balsamic vinaigrette. Yum!

I also had a small piece of banana cake.
