Yesterday's Meal/Snack Recap I'm the kind of person that likes to eat mini meals throughout the day with some snacks. I like lots of variety and I like to feel satisfied not full. Since working at the hospital I eat huge breakfasts to sustain me until lunch. I usually have one or two cups of […]

Satisfying the Panera Egg Sandwich Craving Lunch today was not stellar, but as I guess they can't all be winners. The tortilla soup was good and so were the veggies, but the flatbread was not so good. I ate about ½ of one of those pieces. Then I had the rest of my bag of […]
