255: NutWenedsday

I totally went nuts today. I had a nut-attack. It was 'nut' very good. However, this was balanced out by a VERY brisk walk at Domania with almost the whole gang. It was quite chilly, so it was both helpful and necessary to walk fast. We stopped counting the minutes a long time ago, but I bet we were under 35 minutes.

Breakfast
1 Slice When Pigs Fly Bread, 1 Slice Soft Whole Wheat
Some Chunky (Super) Peanut Butter
1 oz Cracker barrel cheese

Snack
1 Fuji Apple from Costco
8 dried apricots
1/4 cup almonds/cashews plus a handful of cashews
60 pistachios

Lunch
Stir-fried chicken with spicy string beans

Dinner
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Bok Choy
Sweet Potato

We went on a field trip to Costco as an office-outing and we got lots of snacks, including salted cashews and salted pistachios which are practically irresistible. It's not that they're so good, it's just that they're so salty. It's really hard to control yourself around Costo-volumes of nuts, but the apples are a different story. We have gone a few times to Costco since I've been on the program and there's little in the way of multi-pak snacks that are SoBe friendly. Except for Tuna, Cheese, Vegetables and Apples you're really trying to spend time in the Gum aisle or get the hell out of there fast.

Costco is good anytime except when you are hungry. I'm planning to make my monthly voyage out there on Saturday. I am partial to their cut up mangos as well as, you know, the Fugi apples. Hoping that you control the "nuts." Love, MOM
