Well alrighty then. Although not recommended, skipping a meal has a positive effect on weight. Not planning to make a habit of it.
Since I was gone all weekend.. and didn’t get home until late yesterday.. and totally spaced it.. I didn’t have food prepped to pack today. I’m planning to fulfill my food at restaurants in SF today. Hopefully it’s doable. I’m not fond of the plan.. but the alternative was to either call in sick.. or just go off plan. Neither of which is a better option.
I -think- that I can get a grilled chicken breast from either Quiznos or Subway which are both relatively close to my office. I also think I can scavenge something vegetative from one of those. I guess come lunchtime we’ll see.
On the way home last night I stopped by Target and bought a new scale. It’s all spiffy and modern. Mostly I like the part where when you step on it the second (third, forth, etc) time it shows the same weight as it did the first time. Our previous scale would change by up to 5 lbs. Also the new scale is in .1 lb increments. Somehow that just appeals to me.

I asked them to substitute “All Natural Chicken” (which I think is code for grilled chicken) for the “Honey-Dijon Chicken Salad” and I got the dressing on the side.. and won’t eat it. I know the grapes, dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds are off protocol.. I’m going to just kind of ignore that.. and be happy for the added flavor. I suppose I could pick them out.. but A: that smacks of effort and B: I actively dislike salad.. so having something to add flavor is needed here. Hopefully that won’t have ill effect.
So the plan is to eat half now (for lunch) and then save the rest for afternoon snack.
Ok.. I won’t resort to this often. The “chicken” is weird and kind of spongy.. and very salty. Good enough in a pinch.. but I wouldn’t want to have to depend on it. Added “bonus” the grapes and apple slices were mixed in with the chicken salad I didn’t get.. so I plan to have an apple with my afternoon snack.
I think I want soup for dinner.. must grep the intarwebs for tasty sounding P2 soups. Soup leftovers will freeze well and make for good pinch day meals.
