Okay, I was the ultimate in lazy tonight.

I didn't want to cook and I wasn't in the mood for throwing a frozen meal in the Microwave, so I planned my walk in the direction of the local Wendy's!



Although their Baconator is more calories than I like to have in a single meal, it is soooooo yummy.

I order it with no bun or ketchup. They wrap it in lettuce, but I usually eat it with a fork.

I'll have to check that out - see if it's gluten-free and all that. But looks promising.

The ultimate solution (for me) when I don't wanna cook and I don't wanna go out to eat...

In the middle of my walk tonight, I realized I was absolutely STARVING and I wanted something RIGHT NOW. I changed my walk up for a quick stop at my local grocery store and pointed at the chicken (on the grill) that I wanted. I carried it with me for the rest of my walk (LOL) and when I got home I stuffed my face.



The reason this story is important to me is because my mind is finally finding quick solutions that don't involve me binging on carbs.

In the past, I may have not made that same decision.

Dinner tonight was some roasted chicken from Whole Foods, with some canned green beans. A no-cook meal.

I really need to start thinking about cooking again! LOL

Tonight, in the middle of my walk I decided I wanted to go to Chick-fil-A.

I ordered a side salad with full fat ranch dressing and the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich, with no bun, which I cut up on top of the salad. It was AMAZING!

I scarfed it down so fast that I completely forgot to take a picture.

I'm making ham and cabbage soup today. Yesterday was steak with a mushroom pan sauce, came out really good.

Fried bacon slices. Cauliflower "potato" salad (using cooked cauliflower instead of potato - all the regular ingredients). A couple LC, almond meal cookies.


@Annageckos Your cabbage ham soup sounds good. I love both ingredients, and soups. What do you season it with.
