Back to Bento Blogging

After an initial run of making my bento everyday, I got busy, lazy, etc.  I was still eating healthy at work for the most part...but the rest of the day I should have been doing better.  A little disappointed that a few of my initial 7 pound weight loss my first week of Weight Watchers have returned.  So here I am, committed to eating healthy again.

I wanted to make hummus but Jess used the rest of the lemon juice.  Instead I made the Skinny Ranch dip from this post.  It's a bit of a weird breakfast but I'm enjoying it.  I may have to go to the cafeteria to get more veggies to dip in it later as I'm almost out of baby carrots.

I made my first ever miso soup last night.  I love miso soup and picked up some packages of the instant stuff a while back.  I threw in some tofu and hopefully it will taste yummy (I only sampled a little last night).

And I was at a loss for what to put in the "food" section of the bento until I realized that the wheat sandwich thins we bought we just about the perfect size.  So crunchy peanut butter and jelly sandwich it is!  Weight Watchers seems to hate peanut butter and jelly but at least I know it will keep me from the evil evil vending machine.
Happy desk eating!
Weight Watchers Info:

Skinny Ranch Dip = 1 point per serving (so maybe 2 points if I get more veggies)
Carrots = 0 points
Peanut Butter and Jelly on Wheat Sandwich Thins - 8 points?  (I estimated it was 3/4 of a "restaurant" PB&J - who gets PB&J at a restaurant?)
Miso soup - 2 points (1 cup)

Total = 11 points
