Packing My Lunch

Yesterday I talked to the Registered Dietitian at our gym. I took an assesment earlier ( a test we have at our gym) to find out how many calories I'm supposed to eat in a day. I gave this number to the RD and she told me how many Starches, Fats, Vegetables, Milks, Proteins, and Fats I'm supposed to eat in a day. It changed my whole perspective on eating. This way I'm not counting calories, but I know what kinds of food I'm eating throughout the day and how to eat healthy.

But the crazy part was how much she gave me to eat throughout the day! So this morning I started packing my lunch at 10:00 for the rest of the day. I didn't finish until 11:30! It took forever, measuring everything and putting it all into little baggies so I could take it to work. It also took a long time because I had to cook my dinner since I work from 12-9 on those days. I love eating this way but it's taking a lot of work and I'm not sure if I can keep it up! We'll see!

Here are some pictures of what I lugged into work today. I think it was the biggest lunch bag anyone had there today, or maybe ever :) So to say the least, Dave and I had a pretty good laugh about it...maybe you will too.
