Lunch choices??

I need to find lunch meals that are filling since lunch is my big meal of the day but the meals still need to be healthy..

So here are my lunch choices at work..

Submarina, Quiznos, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Sansai, Santorini, KFC, Rubio's, Pick up Stix, Jack in the box, Cafeteria, Chipotle, In 'n Out, Subway, Panda Express, Sombrero, Mcdonalds, El Pollo Loco..

Wonder what semi-healthy meals I can get from these places..
So far,
9" Turkey at Submarina is filling and pretty healthy..
The Wendy's Mandarin Chicken Salad is healthy but not quite filling enough.. (about ~400-500 calories since I don't use all the dressing)
Cafeteria is ok, but I can only take eating there so much, like maybe once every week or two..

Probably In 'n Out, Jack in the box, Mcdonalds, Wendy's (except for salad) should be off the list permanently..

Hmmm... pondering...

Taco bell, Wendy's Oh My!

Not so good on the eating yesterday... For Dinner, we decided to go get something quick at Wendy's but I at least tried to eat healthy stuff.. (salad, ham&swiss) Gotta step it up today. Have poker night so have to avoid the pizza and beer.

Workout was good, beat Rob 6-3, 6-2, but lots of anxious moments again in the first set.. My legs are a bit sore, might take one day off sports today as i have a lot of activity planned for tomorrow.

Breakfast: 2 bowls Raisin Bran
Lunch: Taco Bell (3 items, ~900 calories), Diet soda

Sad day in tennis land..

My friend Justin just took his first set ever off of me in tennis, 7-6(7-2).
I beat him 6-3 in the 2nd set, but the damage was already done..

Besides him playing better these days, one of the main reasons I lost is because of how out of shape I am! Just more fuel for the fire for me to get back sleek and dominating in tennis again!

Day 1 - Stay Strong vs Work Buddies

So I put up some rules on my whiteboard in my cube:



Now my work buddies are trying to exploit the system and are opening popcorn packages right in my cube and leaving candies on my desk..

So far so good, NO giving in to temptation...

252.5

Yikes..
My wife and I have set some new goals.. We're calling it the "healthy living lifestyle"

Better eating, more workouts, etc..

First things first, lay some laws down.. I've been snacking like crazy at work. So now if anybody sees me snacking, I owe them $10.

That should stop the snacking!
