Salad ala carte

I went to Golden Corral last night because I hadn't had dinner. It was too late to eat. So why did I go? I will tell you why. They have a deal where you can load up a take out box with a price per pound. I loaded up that to go box with a salad and fruit. WHOOHOOO! Lettuce, Tomato, onion, green pepper, califlower, broccoli, cheese, ham/turkey....and some cantelope/honeydew....all for the grand total of........ 2.00!! that's right....$2.00! So, being as smart as I is.....I bought 2 of em. I even named them.....Lunch and Dinner. Breakfast has become my most important meal.... 2 eggs (scrambled) 4oz sausage (turkey) sometimes a little applesauce (those little cup thingies) SMOTHERED IN RANCH....ok...just kidding. Lunch has become a normal as well.... salad and a meat exchange. at dinner.....before 6....it is not as important as lunch and breakfast....dinners are usually small..... small salad or mixed veggies....and meat exchange. I have been drinking about 8 20oz a day of water. UGH...I feel good...I really do....but all tha****er....YIKES! I think I may cut back to 6 cause between the water and lasix...I don't sleep at night  Anywho....Salad at Golden Corral! go load up! HEALTHY!!! YUM!!!                 

smart, smart, SMART idea!! Way to go!

Wow Tim what a deal!
And love the motivation to keep on keeping on!
I have had those little applesauce thingies, they have so many flavored ones now that have no sugar added (peach, pineapple, berry etc!)
Yes 8 x 20 oz= 160 oz or too many trips to potty! There is such a thing as water intoxication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication too to be concerned about!

Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function that results when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by water.[1]


Most recommend 64 oz day this 2.5x that...more is not always better! Check with the (dreaded) nutrionist perhaps for what is safe for you!
