6 am Salad

I have been on a salad kick for over a week now. If you know me at all you will know that I am not a fan of salad dressing or really any sauce or dressing at al. To be quite honest, I am a fan of bland (aka boring) food. But I have always loved the salad dressing at East Side Mario's and about a year ago D decided to try and find me a similar one that I could get at the grocery store. His main purpose for this, I believe, was to try and help me find lower calories meals that I would enjoy to help me with my weight loss. He convinced me to try the Greek with Feta and Oregano from Kraft. It was, and still is, delicious. I absolutely love it. I stopped eating as many salads as often and only recently decided to put them back into my normal food rotation (for lack of a better term). We have gone through about 3 heads of iceberg lettuce, 1 head of romaine lettuce, 1.5 bottles of salad dressing and 2 cucumbers in about a week and a half. It has been really good for me to get my vegetables in (though I have never really had a problem with this - yummy veggies) as well as have larger meals with lower calorie costs.

Well, tragedy struck as we ran out of everything needed for the salads. I meant to stop by the store on my way home from class last night but I forgot and D forgot to remind me when I called home before leaving. I was very upset as I was looking forward to decreasing my lunch for today by adding a salad.

Luckily, I have a genius for a boyfriend and he remembered that Loeb is open 24-hours. He offered to go into work early so I could have a little more time to stop by the grocery store on my way back before heading off to work myself. Although, the Loeb had put a giant, heavy sign in front of the entrance door making so I couldn't get in - not very 24-hour of them. Luckily, and employee was leaving at the same time and I dared to enter through the exit.

So in short, there was a 6am salad run this morning. Yay salad!
