dreamsharkI'm at that point in my spring diet where I don't lose any weight for 7-10 days and then suddenly drop three pounds overnight. Anyway, I hope that's what's going on, because I'm RAVENOUS. I've already been through one of those stall.... whoooshhh cycles, and it's about time for the 2nd whoosh. I usually get really really hungry right before the scale drops. I figure it's my body issuing a last ditch reminder (DANGER! LONGTIME CALORIE DEFICIT!) before giving in and releasing the water from the fat cells it's about to deflate.
Today's lunch is #63, the one with the sandwich. Anyway, probably because I'm hungry, I used a large American lunchbox and ended up packing enough food for two meals. I plan to save the sandwich for an afternoon snack, which is really a fourth meal on the diet plan I'm following.
While I was posting this lunch I thought I'd post another one from earlier in the week to show two different uses for this lunchbox. #62 is from Monday or Tuesday - all cold food, all of it kind of fancy except the carrot sticks and applesauce.

 | Bento #62 - Gourmet bento Smoked salmon wraps made with cottage cheese, cream cheese, green onions and sweet pickled ginger rolled up in lefse. Carrot sticks and piquante peppers stuffed with feta cheese on the right. Afternoon snack in the leftmost partition: applesauce, tamari roasted almonds and a sliced kumquat. Smoked salmon and almonds from Trader Joe's. Pickled ginger from United Noodles. Piquante peppers/ feta cheese mixture and lefse from Kowalski's. Other stuff probably from Cub. |
 | Bento #64 - The Obvious Sandwich (May 7, 2010) This is the obvious usage for this Tupperware box - sandwich in the middle compartment with a few sides. The sandwich is a Chili Lime Chicken Burger from Trader Joe's with fresh avocado. The rectangular silicone cups from Dollar Tree exactly fit in the midsized compartment on the left, which is handy for microwavable leftovers (curried vegetables with lobster ravioli, decorated with nori stars). Carrot sticks and fish-shaped egg in the right-hand compartments, with soy sauce for the egg in the applehead bottle. |
