Ever made Tabouleh?

Lately I have been exploring new recipes for healthy salads, as I was really bored with the ones I usually make, so last night a couple of friends came over to dinner and I decided to make Tabouleh (Bulgur veggie salad) – a famous salad in the Middles East and it was brilliant, I even had leftover for work.
I used parsley, lots of lemons, tomatoes, mint, onions, olive oil, bulgur wheat, with salt and a dash of pepper.

I am so excited

Two weeks passed and I am sticking with the No Junk Food in the office rule, and tonight was the second night that I didn't binge in night eating, I didn't put anything in my mouth after dinner, and I feel GREAT

I know I over did it with the calories but they were all healthy choices.

Today I ate:
2 toast
1 tsp jam
1 tsp peanutbutter
5 cups of coffee (got to cut back)
apple
kiwi
fresh vegtables mix (150 cal)
greek yogurt
small grilled fish fillet
Tahini with onion with the fish
2 cups of rice (my portion was 1 cup)
2 cold cut turkey

and I have to admit that I took a bite of my girl's grilled cheese sandwish
and tasted my dinner of next day.

hip hip hurray!

Hip hip HURRAY for me, today I resisted cupcakes co-workers brought in for breakfast today, all of my favorite kinds were there, I got up, left the office, made myself a cup of coffee, went back in, opened my fruit container, and ate away my kiwi and orange, I seriously surprised myself!! I now know that if I ate one (I usually eat 3) I will get that momentary good feeling but I will feel like shit tomorrow morning for ruining the No Junk Food in the office rule…I am still binging at night but for the past 3 weeks not one single unhealthy bite in the office, my boss sent me an sms when I returned home telling me how proud she is of me and that next time she will do the same, what a good feeling. And another thing I accomplished today I actually wrote down everything that went throught my mouth today. I have been saying I want to start my food journal since 2007…here goes:

Breakfast: 1 tbsp labneh/ 2 black olives/2 small toasts/1 orange/1 kiwi/1 carrot, 2 cups of coffee with creamer
Lunch: rocca salad (tomato, mushroom, rocca, parmesan, lemon, olive oil)
Dinner: 2 stuffed rice with ground meat zucchini
Broccoli with cheese over 1/3 cup of ground meat, pepper with one slice of low fat processed cheese, 1 cup of instant mocha
