Still slogging through the 4-day quickstart. Man, am I sick of that stupid deli turkey breast. On Day 3 I only had 3 ounces of turkey on hand so I added an extra half ounce of cheese - something with a little flavor to it instead of that dreadful string cheese. It's a few more calories per ounce, but the difference in enjoyability was totally worth it. Whatever flavor of Mrs. Dash I put on the vegies was pretty good too. This lunch was so much tastier than the first two days that I did more or less the same thing on Day 4 - this time completely abandoning the string cheese for pepperjack. String cheese - yuck. Tomorrow I get to the flexible part of the diet plan where I can start having lunches with flavor. Yay!

Bento #51 - Diet Day 3 (Apr 14, 2010) - 250 calories Day 3 of Quickstart diet, liberally interpreted. Top Tier: Tomato and pepper jack cheese slices, steamed vegies left over from day before. (carrots, mushrooms, squash). Mrs. Dash sprinkled on the vegies. Bottom Tier: Deli turkey breast wrapped around slivers of string cheese, sometimes wrapped in lettuce. A few mushrooms peeking out of the largest roll. This lunch was actually pretty tasty.

Bento #52 - Diet Day 4 (Apr 15, 2010) - 308 calories Top tier: potatoes cooked in a little olive oil, broccoli with 1T shredded cheese. Bottom tier: tomatoes layered with pepper jack cheese. More of that deli turkey and lettuce.
