Today I’m going to the Natural Products Expo for my day job. But I have to admit that I was happy to go to see if I could discover something fun for this blog too.
Needless to say, I’ll be at the Anaheim convention center for the entire day without my pre-planned lunch or snacks. Hopefully, I won’t lose track – but then again, how bad can the food samples be if they are natural? 
Well kids, I guess I underestimated how much FOOD was going to be at this expo! There were tons of samples of natural juices, snacks, gluten-free doughs, noodles, tortillas and organic EVERYTHING!
I tried tons of stuff and didn’t think too much about what I was eating. I just made sure to stop when I was full and not to say yes to all the samples being offered unless I really wanted to try it.
Overall, I don’t feel like I blew it today, but I probably ate many pieces of gluten-free, soy, veggie, all-natural or other kind of “good-for-you” pizzas, LOL! I guess we’ll have to see what the scale says for this week!
Actual calories consumed –???, but probably not too horrible

LOL, Lindsay! I wouldn’t exactly call eating tons of food samples at the expo the behavior of a skinnie minnie but I am learning to stay on track!
The cashew chicken was a little bland for me – next time I eat it, I will have to put in more snap peas, maybe broccoli and definitely soy sauce. It seemed have a lot of brown rice and not enough of anything else.
