I went to lunch this afternoon at Panera where I met a friend to talk about school stuff. Panera is an easy choice because I know what’s on the menu that’s good for me to have and that has some pretty nutrient-dense choices. I ordered a cup of the black bean soup and ate about a third of the cup. If you’ve ever been to a Panera, then you know they serve their soups and salads with a half a mini baguette. It smelled fantastic, but I ignored it sitting there on the plate they brought my soup on. I ate my soup, enjoyed it and boxed the rest up for home. I’ll probably have it for breakfast in the morning with a little cheese. Or I might scramble an egg and have a spoonful of beans mixed in with it…hmmmm, the possibilities!
Today, I am officially one month out of surgery. And what a month it has been!
