I had one of those 13 hour work days today… if you’ve been reading this blog for a while you may remember that this happens at least quarterly. Every time I stress out about not being able to fit exercise in. Every time I stress eat because of work stress and “being unable to fit exercise in.”
But not this time!
I am determined to feel the stress and not try numbing it with food.
Tomorrow is also weigh-in day at Weight Watchers. I reminded this to myself this morning and made sure to stick to the program… even when I was uncomfortable (emotionally, not hunger-wise) and wanted to eat!
So when dinner time rolled around (and no sign of end of work day) I decided to make do with what I have available around me – mall food! A dieter’s nightmare? Nope. I’m in LOVE!!
This is the Tossed crepe wrap “designed” by me. It contained mixed greens, chickpeas, roasted red peppers, sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes and fat free cucumber dill dressing.
It was AMAZING. Did you catch that they use a CREPE as a wrap? Yeah! It’s even whole wheat and has 11 grams of protein!! And only 6 Points Plus, even leaving me with 1 point to spare. Btw, they have this cool nutritional calculator on their site. Awesomeness! 
How do you stay healthy in these situations? I’d normally bring dinner with me (I will tomorrow) but I thought I could just swing by home for dinner. Staying at my work building proved to be a lot more time efficient… and actually really delicious.

That crepe looks really good. I just got the new issue of Bon Appetit and there’s an article about adding crunch to your salad to keep it interesting in the winter. This is definitely healthy, interesting winter fare!
And sorry about the long work day!
That crepe wrap looks yummy – what a great idea! Congrats on not stress eating!
That crepe looks amazing! It also looks pretty simple to re-create!
Great job making a healthy choice. It looks delicious.
Way to go! It is great to see you figuring out ways to succeed in challenging situations. I had an unfortunate occurance of stress-eating yesterday and am going to try to think of you as inspiration if I feel it coming on again!
How did you do? Hope today was a bit less stressful. I’m going strong!
Luckily yesterday I stopped it despite wanting to eat cookies for hours!
That sounds amazing! I’ve never thought of the idea of using a crepe for savory fillings
The folks at Tossed actually invited me to come check out their place in the Pru but I haven’t had a chance to do it. Let me know if you are ever interested in going with me! Good luck today with the weigh-in!
I’m definitely in!! I am seriously obsessed now
I want that crepe! So yummy. Good luck getting through the tough work days – more crepes should help.
That wrap is absolutely amazing. I want one too.
the crepe wrap sounds satisfying and tasty. way to go elina!
eek, yeah, i love 14hr workdays… this was a great solution!! Fabulous crepe, i’ll have to try and remember this place exists
Good for you! On those long days, I just feel like stuffing my face with burritos. This is much better!
Sorry about the long work day! That crepe looks delicious – I used to love Tossed when I worked in the ‘hood. I love how you can have one of their salads or make your own with your chosen ingredients!
Ugh, those days are the worst – hope it gets better for you soon! Looks like such a great healthy meal though and I love the idea of a crepe as the wrap.
