The last snacks I had definitely threw my calories for the day way over where they were supposed to be. I need to go to the grocery store tomorrow morning to get some veggies for salads, soups, and snacks. I am completely out... which is probably why I reached for the bad snacks today. The wouldn't be soo bad, if I had budgeted for them... or stuck to just one. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a renewing, vegetably pleasing day.



I need some new snacking veggies. Maybe jicama with some lime, pepper, and salt? (See the nice picture of sliced jicama above.) Perhaps fennel? I looked to my French Women for All Seasons book for inspiration and beets and fennel were there as spring/summer foods. Cucumbers and snap peas to dip into a homemade dill yogurt sauce? Hm. Hopefully, I will find my veggies tomorrow.

Exercise: Working late, then an evening thunderstorm pushed away my walking plans for the evening. I did, however, do planned strength training, even though I did not particularly feel like it. Glad I did now!
