Living Healthy Day 33: Soup catastrophe | Living Healthy | The Sun ...

Justin Mitchell's lunch on Tuesday consisted of Thai rice noodles, apple cinnamon rice cakes and water sweetened with lemon.

Cheat day

I look forward to Mondays for two reasons: to relax and enjoy the day and to be able to eat whatever I want for the day. Oh, and The Voice comes on. Well, maybe three reasons.

I had Chinese buffet with my mom and grandmother for lunch on Monday. It was pretty delicious, and I only allowed myself one plate of food and one plate of dessert. Typically, I could eat for days at a buffet. Peanut butter chicken was an option on the buffet line. I tried it and fell in love. I may try make healthy peanut butter chicken for dinner Tuesday evening. It would be a high-protein meal that would give me energy and help me keep on tracking at the gym.

I also had a biscuit from Popeye's chicken and a two slices of pizza.

Cheat day is always good, but my body pays for it the next morning. I wake up groggy, and my stomach almost always hurts. It's as if my body is getting used to eating healthy, and the bad foods on cheat day seem to send my body into shock. I need my cheat day for motivation, but I don't think that cheat day necessarily needs me.

No soup for you

I typically don't work on Tuesdays, but I decided to work this Tuesday so I could take off a day this weekend to attend a dear friend's wedding. As today was a busy news day, Tuesday kept me on the edge of my seat, and I left my lunch at home. However, reporter Christina Steube had me in her mind when she came to work because she brought me a Thai noodle soup bowl to try for lunch. Christina is also dieting, and she loves the 250-calorie bowls.

When it was time for lunch, I made the first mistake of opening the seasoning packet for the noodle bowl backwards. Thus, the powdered flavorings went askew in the bowl and on the table in the break room. Next, I added the liquid component of seasoning. To my dismay, I also dripped that all over the table. I finally added water and microwaved. By the time I got the bowl completely finished, I was starving.

As I went to sit down, the bowl became scalding hot, and I dropped it on the table. Water went everywhere.

Clearly, this soup bowl was testing me today.

However, the end product was light, flavorful and delicious.

I'm unsure as to how many of these noodle bows I will have, as they have an extremely high sodium level. However, I will be prepared next time for a soup catastrophe.
