Packing lunch

This will be the first week without meals this summer. Well, actually we will have meals Tuesday and Wednesday (when there are faculty meetings), but not the rest of the week. So tomorrow I have to pack breakfast and lunch (because I never get up early enough to eat breakfast at home - I love sleeping too much).

Here is my plan for tomorrow:

Breakfast: Siggi's yogurt (it's Icelandic yogurt - similar to Greek but different texture) with 1 sliced banana, sliced strawberries, & slivered almonds

Lunch: salad - arugula w/dried cranberries, goat cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette, 1 apple

I've been on an iced tea kick, so I made sun tea this weekend (my neighbor didn't know what that was, so I will explain in case you are unfamiliar - put several teabags in a glass jar, fill with water, and leave in the sun all day for it to steep). I will have that with lemon, and water for my drinks for the day.

My normal afternoon snack is one small Dove dark chocolate piece (the really small ones - six to a serving), but we will be celebrating my boss's birthday tomorrow and I am making sour cream chocolate chip coffee cake, so I will have a slice of that, hopefully a small one if I have any willpower.

I'm a little worried my lunch isn't substantial enough. If I have time I might heat up some chik'n to put on top, or I may add some pecans or walnuts, but just a few as they are high in calories. In the future I may bring a tablespoon of peanut butter to eat with the apple, but I forgot to get more of the unsweetened all-natural peanut butter I like when I was at Whole Foods the other day, so that will have to wait. Ooh, or maybe I will get almond butter for a change. We'll see.
