Day 13: Cruise Day 3 PM (PV)

FInally Got My Salad Fix

I was very busy today after breakfast (last post).  The one thing I had been really missing on the Attack Phase was a salad, and I didn't have one on my first PV day, so I thought I'd try it out.  I'm not usually a big salad person, but that's what I wanted so I played a bit with very limited time.  For lunch I had broiled salmon with a little bit of lemon juice and just a dash of green tabasco.   To make my Dukan-Greek salad, I had some romaine lettuce, and tomatoes and added white vinegar with dried oregano, and fat-free feta cheese.  I went for the salad first, but I wasn't able to finish the salmon.  I had about half and then had the other half for my afternoon snack. I had some errands to run, so I found myself at the mall.  I thought it would be such a great idea to power-walk the whole gigantic mall since it was raining out.  Well, it wasn't such a smart idea- I hadn't yet had my afternoon snack - it was about 4:30pm, nor did I have water.  Not to mention that I was wearing a North Face down jacket.  After a half hour, I began to get a migraine.  I get these from time to time.  Not the headache kind- I get visual auras- what ironically doctors call, "migraine without headache".  I was with my mother who wanted to go to happy hour as we usually (used to) do.  I really needed something to eat and more importantly WATER!  So, I agreed.  We went to the Cheesecake Factory.............Now, I know what you must be thinking.....WHAT THE F****???????

Well, hold on - give me a little credit.  BUT- I will let the suspense continue because I plan to post on this in my AM blog tomorrow.  Let me just say that I did eat and drink, and we'll leave the details for tomorrow.

Well, when I got home it was about 7pm, and I was tired and hungry and did NOT feel like cooking.  I put some water to boil while I checked some email and then put in some eggs to boil.  I began to prepare a Cobb Salad ??? I think ???  To be honest, I've never eaten a Cobb salad, let along made one.  All I know about a Cobb salad is that it has egg and meat and it's a salad that isn't mixed. So based on what I thought I knew, I took my boiled eggs and scraped out the yolks (YUCK!) and washed off any left on.  I then had left over salad from this morning (without feta), so I added the romaine and tomatoes (which had the vinegar and oregano), and added some chopped turkey and ham----- now wait, is this a chopped salad?  Well, it's not a recipe, so the details don't matter.  Below you can see a picture of my meals.  

Stay tuned tomorrow for the "Cheesecake Factory Experience"....
