I am so psyched over my lunch choices today. They had Pulled Pork Sandwiches which I do LOVE. I remembered that the last time I had one it tasted too sweet and it didn't sit well in my tummy. So, today they were also having a pasta bar. I chose the bow-tie pasta (approx 1 cup) and the marinara style sauce (no meat). Then from the salad bar I chose broccoli, cauliflower, and squash mix. I got a big cup full. When I got back to our break room I nuked the veggies til they were crisp tender and added them to the marinara sauce. It was excellent. I also got a big cup of summer fruit mix, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and melon. Washed down with a 32 oz cup of ice water. I'm drinking a bunch more water but I still want it cold.
For a snack this afternoon I'm having a Cocoa Mole Larabar. Yum. I love the touches of cinnamon and chili with the chocolate.
More later...
How I Got Here

- On May 30, 2010 I got the surprise of my life. I had a heart attack. This was after a year spent changing the way I lived my life. By that date I had lost 70 lbs, I was walking an hour to an hour and a half a day, I was walking 7 flights of stairs every day, and I was doing a 30 min stretching routine several times a week. I thought I was doing all the right things to protect my heart and then… I went through a period of thinking “Why bother?” but then I broke my ankle and had to have surgery and rehab. In rehab I learned why bother. I saw what happened to those who hadn’t taken care of themselves and I picked myself up and got back on track. This blog is my continuing story of how I am getting stronger every day – one step at a time.
