Thank you all again for your wonderfully supportive comments. I am happy to report that I am well, happy 
The morning started on a cranky self-hating note (when I wrote the last post) but it all went up from there! I finished an important memo in the morning at work, and the pilates class I took during lunch made me feel strong and somehow more balanced. I came out of there a new person!! Now I’m off to a date with my husband, so this day will surely end on a high note 
Here is a recap of today’s eats, before I head out the door…
BREAKFAST
I woke up with an intention to make pancakes, but when I opened the cabinet, Shannon’s apple and carrot shortbread cookies greeted me. Somehow a bunch of them jumped into my mouth. This could be the right amount, or not (picture recreated)…
I decided to make a real breakfast out of it, so this is a tiny bit of nonfat yogurt with a small apple and 2 cookies’ worth of crumbles + coffee
It took all my will power to not polish off the rest of the container of cookies. Dangerous stuff!! I resisted and was happy I did. I also reminded myself for the rest of the day that this was my treat, so I can’t have any more… I kept it much cleaner for the rest of the day
SNACKS
+ an unpictured 100 calorie pack of almonds and walnuts
LUNCH
I ran out of time to make lunch this morning, so I grabbed a salad at Tossed after my pilates class. This guy contained mixed baby greens, grape tomatoes, strawberries, jicama, carrots and roasted chicken. It cost almost $10 so I’ll be sure to leave enough time to make my own lunch next time. Yikes! 
And now I’m mighty hungry, which means dinner will taste extra good 
See you later. You guys are THE BEST!!! 
Glad to hear your having a better day! Pilates and a dinner date with your husband will definitely do that
Hope you had a good meal out.
I’m glad your day turned around. Have a wonderful night out with your husband!
glad to hear your day is on the mend! I’m sure those cookies helped
Have a great date with your Mister!
Glad you feeling better. I do too… I think people don’t realize that everyone has bad and good days in respect to food and the scale.
Have a great date!
So glad to hear your spirits are up
Enjoy your date night!
Hope you are having a great date night.
Those salads get expensive huh?
yay, glad you’re feeling better!! and holy moly expensive salad. i do the same thing though, get so excited and add too much stuff…
ps- i used the smart balance 50/50 sticks in those cookies, so they’re a little better for you
ooo love the strawberries in the salad! nice and summer-ey .. too bad its no longer summer
I’m glad you are feeling better
Just caught up on yesterday’s post. I am so impressed with your IE in general. I hope you see how far you have come!
Glad you’re feeling better! Your breakfast looked really yummy..I bet that could cheer anyone up!
What a great post!! i really love your breakfast
All of this food looks really delish!
I look forward to reading more!
XXOO
Ooo, I have never been to Tossed nor have I ever heard of it! Is it in the food court? I am always happy to find a good salad place. Maybe we can do a lunch date there! (Though by the looks of it we will have to be prepared to spend some dough!)
