Lunch today was focused on two things… crunch & volume eating… I try to pack things for lunch that will keep me satisfied & take me a while to eat… I find that I think more about what I eat when I have lots of little things packed… instead of making a tuna sandwich on the wheat bagel, I decided to pack the tuna separately with some dijon mustard & chopped up a yellow pepper for a little additional crunch… On the side I had about 20 pea pods & a small kiwi… my palate is definitely satisfied being that I think I hit almost all food groups (except dairy but I’m not a huge fan of that anyway, unless it’s ice cream, bad I know)… plus it took me about 40 minutes to actually eat all this (I am a VERY slow eater & like to savor every bite!)…

Now, I am going to head outside in the gorgeous weather for a quick 30 minute walk during my lunch break… I love when I can take time out of a crazy day to get outside and walk… it’s not only good for myself physically but also mentally
