I’m not gonna lie. I didn’t expect to like today’s selection, Lean Cuisine’s Chicken Pot Stickers. Sure, everything about it sounds great: Asian-style chicken dumplings with a variety of veggies in a sweet chili ginger soy sauce. All those things are tasty. But in a frozen-to-s steam bag, well, the best sounding food often goes [...]

Desktop lunch review: Fiesta

I love, love, love Mexican-inspired foods. And beverages, too. Tequila and I go way back. Today’s lunch time treat is a product of Healthy Choice, a brand that I’ve not found to be very enjoyable in the past. Of the three giants in the frozen diet food market, its food tends to be my least [...]

I am about to share a very valuable pro tip with all you weight conscious folks who do like I do and trek into Subway a couple of times a week because it’s fast food that doesn’t have a bazillion calories and fat grams. This is important so pay attention. DO NOT order the new [...]

No movement on the scale at yesterday’s weigh in, which is frustrating but I know it’s part of the process. When I entered my digits into the Weight Watchers online program, however, I had to have burned off a few calories while cursing at my computer screen, and I was tempted to earn some activity [...]

This poor blog fell into the hands of some nasty folks who, and I am just venturing a guess here, couldn’t give two shits about my weight loss efforts. Anyway, the wonderful Mommy Geek saved my ass. If you ever need blog work done, run to her. She’s awesome. It was rather ironic that I [...]

Originally published on tumblr Yeah, you read that right. Went to the Rolling-Stones-song-inspired restaurant today for lunch with my husband. And we had salads. Nice healthy, totally on-Weight-Watchers-plan salads. Look how pretty! And they were delicious. Just a wee bit of ham (all you see here is all I had) and lots of veggies. And [...]
Desktop lunch review: One alarm lunch

Originally posted on tumblr Had to run another errand at lunch today, so that means bringing a sandwich back to my desk. Bored with the turkey subs from Subway (see yesterday) I wanted to mix things up a little. So I went to Firehouse Subs and got…a turkey sub. I am rather gangsta, yes? As [...]

Originally posted on tumblr I am not going to bore you with the ongoing saga of trying to get my camera back from Canon USA, (buy Nikon!) via FedEx Ground (ship UPS!) but I had to run out at lunch and thus I opted from one of pitchman Jared’s recommended diet sandwiches from Subway. Today’s selection was a [...]
Desktop lunch review: A bowl of yellow
August 22nd, 2011

Originally published on tumblr Today’s diet entree comes from the calorie-conscious kitchens of Weight Watchers Smart Ones and can pretty much be summed up in one word: Yellow. Until today, I didn’t think of yellow as a flavor. But now, I know what yellow tastes like. And it’s not great. This bag of frozen sustenance [...]
