What's for lunch?

Been doing good since I got back from the con. Tuesday, Shelley had us over for dinner and I stood strong! They had STEAK and baked potatoes!!! All I had was a potato with a dab of smart balance and salt & pepper,watermelon, and a side of the yummy zucchini and sqaush which had a liiiiitle bit of parmesean cheese but after everything I ate over the weekend, big deal. I have to say, I snuck a couple bites of steak, but only a couple!! I didn't have NEAR a whole serving. Last night I was excited because I got to cook dinner for my husband. It had been a while since we sat down to a meal at our table together that wasn't wrapped in paper and since we're broke, we had no choice. I pulled out an organic roasted veggie pizza from the freezer (no cheese, of course) and made some broccoli and tomato 7 grain pasta (mostly veggies) to go with it. Canned diced tomatoes are my new best friend. It was light, and very yummy and I felt great. Not only because I ate right but because I got to share dinner with my hubby and contribute to his good health as well. Plus there was pasta left over and some meat sauce in the fridge from last week so rachel got to eat too. So I've been super excited and motivated to keep it up. here's what I had for lunch today:
Southwest brown rice over romaine lettuce and vegetarian refried beans.
I made the most out of what I made for the kids today! They had beef taco salad, no chips of course because their in preschool and it's a choking hazard. But I got to use the beans and lettuce. I had some brown rice leftover from yesterday so I just heated that up with some fresh salsa and corn. It was SOOOOOO yummy and FILLING! Doctors orders: eat more beans! Like I need it, hehe :)
Just wanted to share!
