Bento Fun

I have been following Worldaccordingtoeggface's blog since I was pre-op and I have loved her posts about her bento box lunches. I would LOVE to get the one she has but I'm cheap so I picked up this one from the 100 yen store (Japanese $1 store) in San Diego last year. I love it because 1) it is cute 2) it has built in portion control power 3) I feel cool using it :) I'm a dork, I know. So here is the bento I prepared Sunday for yesterday that I will eat today

1. A serving size of Honey Wheat Pretzels from Fresh and Easy that I will munch on throughout my day at work. I like to wrap the turkey around them.

2. Turkey lunch meat (10g protein in 2 slices, so 15 grams)

3. 1 oz of cheddar cheese (7 grams of protein)

4. A tablespoon of real Miracle Whip (I don't do light or FF anymore...yuck!)

5. Pack of Smarties, just to keep it fun!

but a drug rep brought Panera yesterday so I ate a modified Sierra Turkey Sandwich

1. The insides of the sandwich on the yummiest looking 1/4 of the bread. This one was especially pretty with lots of cheesey goodness. I also added 3 small potato chips between the turkey slices for some crunch.

2. A couple dips into the sauce

3. A 1/5 of the oatmeal raisin cookie that came in the box. I ate this about 20 minutes later. It wasn't very good so I should have just thrown it away because I deserve only the best tasting stuff (I wish I really believed this but I am trying...) but live and learn right?

I am finishing off my protein coffee and then it's off to work. Just to make you smile, here is a pic of my Basset Hound Lulu Belle from yesterday. She got her lady parts removed and is now rocking this awesome cone!

Have a great day!
