Doing Better

Once again, I've decided to take better care of myself.

I found a website, www.poorgirleatswell.com, which has recipes for healthy, cheap food, and tips on how to shop efficiently and healthily. I've been more and more intrigued by vegetarian foods as well, not because I want to forgo meat (I don't), but because they are good, and they seem to be cheaper as well.

Because of some tips I saw on the blog, last night I prepared today's lunch in advance. I made a salad, with the spring greens I already had (from now on, I'll buy the actual lettuce heads, not the packaged stuff), 1/2 a roma tomato, and 2 celery stalks. I also (here's the tip) cut the stalks off of the broccoli I'd bought, and chopped it small. It tastes pretty good! And should make a nice salad filler. And I won't be wasting it :)

This morning I also prepared a breakfast, instead of taking a yogurt cup or oatmeal bag into work. I cooked an egg over-medium, a slice of soda bread, and a glass of milk. I'm lucky with the soda bread and milk - the soda bread was leftover from our St. Patty's day dinner (Ben bought it but sent the rest home with me), and the milk was BOGO this weekend.

I plan to cook some orange roughy tonight for dinner.
