Good Day and Welcome to Day 10 MFF

Today is an almost all repeat day.  I figure there is no need to repost pictures...although I'm happy to do it.  Don't MAKE me buy a new iphone so I can take and post more beautiful pictures of meals you've already seen at least once!

It has been interesting to me to judge the differences in the same meals from one time to another, as well as my enjoyment of said meals.  At my "get started meeting" I didn't eliminate any foods as dislikes.  And then early on I decided not to make any decisions based on one meal...unless it was truly awful.  So far this has been a good strategy.  There can be quite a bit of difference between the same meal on two occasions.  The first "Fit Cottage" had barely enough cottage cheese to stand up to the cinnamon sprinkled on top.  The second time, the container was full of cottage cheese and barely any cinnamon.  Sometimes the sweet potatoes are perfectly cooked and taste good with the cinnamon on top.  This morning's sweet potatoes were so hard I could barely stab them with a fork.

Thoughts and opinions at the almost-halfway-point...  The breakfasts are not like what I am used to.  Most taste better all mixed up.  Some snacks are large and very satisfying (Picnic Time) and some are small and would be better with even a slice or two of fruit (bars and trail mix).  Breakfasts and lunches are almost all hot meals.  I enjoyed the cool chicken wrap and fruit yesterday.  Maybe it's just because it's summer.  Why no soup?  Seems like the content of most meals would lend themselves very well to soup.  Maybe it's hard to pack as a take-out meal?  Maybe it's because it's summer?

Breakfast today consisted of scrambled eggs, sweet potatoes, and turkey sausage.  Snack was a bar.  Lunch is spicy ground turkey, rice, and asparagus.  Afternoon snack is chicken chunks, walnuts, grapes, apple slice, orange slice, grapefruit chunk.  Dinner is something new, so I will post a picture when I get there.  Hint:  there is a small tub of pesto :)
