Bento!

Okay, I love the idea of lunches that contain lots of veggies and fresh fruit and everything you need in a pretty compartmentalized box. (I like airplane food for similar reasons. Maybe not the fresh part...)

So to try and get myself to pack lunches I'm using this little bento box I received a few years ago.

On the left is a salad with romaine, yellow pepper, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese. In the little chick container is a maple/fig salad dressing. On the right, are some whole grain wheat thins, with a little container of tuna salad made with low-fat mayo. Then a mixture of cherries and blueberries. :)

For a snack later I have a fruit and nut bar and a clementine. Breakfast was a vitamuffin top, and a yogurt smoothie.

I'm a little behind on my calorie burning goal for this on the Nike+ website, so I've added my goal ticker to the right. I've got a run tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday. The trick will be running in the morning on Thursday, because my boyfriend and I are driving up to CT for his brother's wedding this weekend.

The challenge then will be getting up early on Sat and Sun to run, and to watch my intake at the wedding.

The thing is--I kind of don't want to have to watch myself at the wedding. It's my boyfriend's brother getting married. Can't I have a piece of cake and 7 glasses of wine to celebrate? Poo.
