No time to type!!!! Here’s a photo recap. The dining hall was closed so my mother in law raved this place with homemade soups only for us to get there and find it out it was a smoky bar with pub food. Ewwww.
I had vegetarian black bean chili, which I guessed was 200 calories. 100 for 1/2 cup of beans and 100 for the rest of the cup (all veggies, cooked). I ate the 2 saltines it came with.
Also had a salad of iceburg lettuce, bell peppers, homemade croutons, and raspberry dressing (which I think was low-cal because it was really runny).
Also had two sips of husband’s beer!
I think I did a great job making the best of a bad situation. I ordered my salad without cheese or creamy dressing and the healthiest soup I could find. But the bad part was it only added up to about 300 calories, including saltines and beer sips, so I was pretty hungry when I got home.
Had some toast with jam:
Dinner 1 + Dinner 2 (toast) Calories: 405.
I also ate the other half of my Kashi bar during class, but that was already accounted for!
AND, I got in about 15 minutes more walking across the campus.
Afternoon Snack:
Total Thursday calories: 1616 (man, this has been a low week!)
- 571 thru walks and workout
= net of 1045. Geez. I’ll eat a little more tomorrow!
Night!!

Hi!! Of course I'm checking comments at 5:13 a.m. before I go to the gym
I'm a huge fan of Cristin's blog too, but I haven't found that many others that are equally detailed. A few of my favorite websites are:iateapie.net (Food reviews)Elasticwaist.com (Funny, random stuff – I like "Are you out to lunch)Greenlitebites.com (A food/recipe blog by a Weight Watchers success)kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com (a vegetable-focused recipe blog). Those are the ones I check up on each day. I'd love some more recommendations!Thanks for reading 
Kath
hey Kath,I love how you respond so quickly! Thanks for recommending some blogs. Also, just wanted to let you know I found your idea of "volume eating" to be very interesting. I tend to eat a lot, but mostly all healthy foods. People always ask how I stay thin when I eat so much, and I guess that's how! I look forward to more info on that topic!
