Dinner = The Bomb

But first, afternoon snack! My giant apple from lunch, plus a tbsp PB and a hunk of nutty bread - and tea! This basically ruined my appetite for dinner :( I’m always hungry for a substantial snack from 4-5pm but then I never get hungry enough for dinner. If I just wait out snack hour, then dinner is always enjoyable, but that makes for an itchy 4pm hour. I suppose I just need to have a smaller snack. Some nuts or something. Or just eat dinner when I’m only about a 5 on a hunger scale.

It probably didn’t help that I had a mocktail and a fig around 6:30 after we went for a 30 minute walk to the grocery store for mushrooms for dinner and apples for GOTR tomorrow. Figs are SO WEIRD tasting but I like them….kind of! Sweet like a plum…..but grassy….and mushy.

I also came across this meal planning widget on the RR website. Pretty cool if you’re looking for meal ideas!!



I’m off to study some, if I can force myself, and then to bed ! I’m sleepy.
