Yikes! I haven’t had any time for posting. The next 2 weeks are going to be HECTIC! I’m finally back to work next Monday, but in the mean time I have to study for an exam and finish some projects that are due by then. It’s going to be a very stressful time, which usually means my diet goes out the window.

This past weekend was a long weekend here, and I ended up eating out pretty much everyday from Thursday to Monday because of birthday parties I had to attend. Wish I could say I made up for it by exercising, but that’s gone to the wayside as well lately. Luckily, I haven’t gained much weight as yet. I had lost a couple of ounces, but I’ve gained about 1 lb. in the last 2 days alone I’m sure I can gain a whole lot more if I go back to my carb heavy, stress eating habits. I’m going to try to make an effort to eat less and get some exercise in.

On to the review… I didn’t get to post but I did try to take pictures of my meals. Didn’t always happen, but I have some pics to share:

Finally got a picture of the ground chicken spaghetti meat sauce I made with mushrooms and onions and tofu shirataki noodles.

I’ve been having this for breakfast/lunch regularly all week - 4 McCain potato pancakes, 2 slices Ezekiel bread, mushroom, red onion, spinach, basil and marble cheese omelet made with Eggbeaters.

Started to get back on track on Monday with my usual Green Monster:

I added extra milk because it’s nearing it’s expiry date LOL. The smoothie turned out extra chocolatey and super delicious!

My sister brought over some fresh french bread (a total weakness of mine) so I indulged in some slices with margarine and I tried out some type of gourmet cheese she brought with the bread, Prima donna or something like that, not exactly sure what it’s called. It tasted a lot like a sharp cheddar, though.

It’s been awhile since I last barbequed, but there was some chicken marinating in the fridge, so I thought I’d grill it along with some potatoes.

I also sauteed some mushrooms, red onions, spinach, and kale to get my veggies in. The chicken was so moist and yummy, I actually ended up having another big piece and some more potatoes later on.

Tuesday was incredibly carb heavy (no pics unfortunately):
-2 slices ezekiel with potato pancakes
-2 slices of ezekiel with tomato slices and marble cheese
-2 slices of ezekiel, lettuce, roast chicken sandwich meat, marble cheese.
-Kale chips
Pretty much within my calorie count, but I feel very bloated from all the bread and cheese.

On the menu for today:
-Green monster
-omelet with mushrooms, onions, spinach, a sprinkling of grated cheese, 2 slices of ezekiel
-Sushi or Subway sandwich (I have class tonight)

Note to self: Must work out today!
