The thing I absolutely love about the holidays is the food. Ironically, the thing I also hate about the holidays is the food because no matter how much I try to avoid drowning myself in all that artery clogging madness, I just can’t. To be completely honest, I only stayed away from all the bingeing when I was on a countdown to my bathing suit encounter on the beach. At some point I actually fell quite ill from all that eating.
.
So to counteract all the things I’ve been doing to my body over the holiday season I’ve been trying my best to eat healthier. Its been rabbit food for most of my meals lately. Except for an occasional treat when I’m out of the house, I’ve been very good.
.
Today I made myself a salad for lunch. Despite having the benefit of holding office at my Mom’s house and having the luxury of free lunches, I decided to stay true to my bond with green leafy stuff. It doesn’t help me one bit to indulge in my Mom’s penchant for yummy, greasy, children’s party food which she loves making for her grandkids. Nope, not now.
.
My salad is simple. Some mixed greens, tomatoes, olives, and leftover Christmas ham. For my dressing I’m having a few tablespoons of fat-free Ranch dressing. Nothing fancy. I might have some boiled egg with it or maybe some cheese. I still haven’t decided. Whatever it is, it will definitely be healthy. I don’t plan to be cashing in on my term life insurance any time soon.

Oh and yeah, I also have another lunch box creation over at my food blog.
