Delicious!

I've decided that in order to loose weight, I'll really have to monitor how many calories I'm getting every day. I haven't really put much effort into it, but now I'm starting to think that I should if I really want to loose 5 pounds. I know that's not much, but its surprising how hard it is to loose even that! And if you're trying to loose weight, watching how much and what kind of foods you eat is the most important thing!

Lunch today:

Asian Veggie Sandwich with half a green apple and a sweet potato :) 

Random, I know. But actually, it was a really good combo! This was the first time I had ever cooked a sweet potato, and I was surprised at how easy it was. I poked holes all over the potato, and microwaved it for 5 minutes. That was it! 

My veggie sandwich consisted of 5 grain bread from Publix, a Morningstar Asian veggie patty, and bean sprouts. 

I added some healthy smart balance butter to my sweet potato, about a teaspoon, and it was great!

I was very impressed with this lunch. Sometimes I will make these super healthy dishes and don't end up liking them but eat them anyway (but I don't ever post them on here, and don't make them again!) It kept me full and I didn't even have to eat a snack before my work out 2 1/2 hours later. 

Take note that this meal is vegan well, minus the smart balance. I have been cooking quite a few vegan meals this week, but I decided to not do it the entire week... I didn't feel ready for that. But this is good practice! When I do decide to have a full vegan week, I can make this meal again and just not add the butter!
