Let's skip over the weekend. I was so sleepy and out of it after the race yesterday that I have no idea what I ate. It involved a lot of watermelon and pasta, that's about all I remember.
Monday:
B - peach, blueberries, raspberries, lf yogurt, lf granola
S - grapes
L - leftover: mushrooms, long beans, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes (baked)
S - succumbed to the unanticipated dessert buffet at a meeting. One raspberry cheesecake bite, mini brownie, small piece of cake with orange filling, cherries jubilee. Skipping my planned snacks to somewhat make up for it.
S - piece of challah
D - lamb curry with apples and rice
E - rest day, short walk with the dog

So interesting this weekend. I had planned to go off plan. I enjoyed one wonderful meal out, including splitting dessert, and a day of wine tasting with a big picnic of wine and cheese and turkey, etc. And then I had a piece of birthday cake last night. I had PLANNED for this.
But what I had not planned for is how bad it would make my BODY feel. Back on plan today, gladly!
B - French toast w/ egg beaters, sliced peach
S - Grapes
L - Tuna sandwich on sourdough, homemade pickle
S - Popcorn
S - Yogurt
D -
S - NSA Ice cream, berries
Sunday I also planned an 'off plan' evening, and also felt a little icky when it was over...
Sunday:
E - off day

L: pb&j, mango/blueberry/strawberry blend
Ss: kashi go lean w/skim, blueberries & mango again, 4 veggie chips, 100cal mini bagel w/ 1 slice thin turkey

B: smoothie, coffee
S: kiwi, blueberries, grapes
L: grilled chicken salad
S: yogurt, string cheese
D: grilled chicken with peppers over rice
S: depends - most likely some kind of fruit, coffee
Hmmm, I had a off-plan lunch on Sat, and didn't actually feel too bad.......
Here's the plan for a nasty, cold, rainy day...
B - cheerios with walnuts, 1/2 banana, raspberries, skim milk; 1/2 ww bagel w/pb;
S - ff latte
L - leftover "swiss chard lasgna," 2 oz grilled chicken
S - peach/banana smoothie
D - probably more leftover chicken, DH is out
I've already had my breakfast, morning snacks, lunch, string cheese & added in a SBD Cinnamn Creme protein bar... I have my yogurt left for snack this afternoon and am starving here at 3:22. I really need to hold off on the yogurt for at least half an hour or I'll eat something else out of my drawer... I'm thinking I'll make some tea... I know my starving today is from my 68% carb ratio yesterday...
Ugh. I had a run-in with some desserts at work. We had a big meeting to talk about our new building (we outgrew this one and are relocating to a new building a couple miles away) and I had no idea that there was going to be a dessert buffet at the meeting. When I walked in I was fine, because it was right after lunch and I was still full. But the meeting lasted an hour, and I usually have a snack at 2:00, and I admit it, I hit the buffet. The only victory is that I didn't take one of everything. That's something, right? Better than I would have done when I was fat.
I need to get back on the wagon with a vengeance. I keep saying that, but I keep not doing it. :sigh:
Ah, swiss chard lasagna is a concoction I made up yesterday. I took a casserole dish, layered it with swiss chard (cut up), ricotta cheese mixed with an egg and with nutmeg in it and grated parmesan/romano; and repeat. Then I topped it with left over jarred spag sauce (no meat) and a last topping of cheese. Baked at 350 for about 30 min.It was tasty. I didn't put in enough chard so I ended up putting the hot stuff over some uncooked, and it wilted enough. I also cooked some more and added it to the left overs. We had it with grilled chicken breasts. I have enough swiss chard to feed a small country.
Pat - that sounds pretty good to me! I might just give it a try! I've been looking at Swiss Chard in the store off and on for weeks now but couldn't think of how to use it...
Basically, besides using up swiss chard , I mixed the filling for stuffed shells/manicotti, but didn't add the greens, using them for the matrix instead. I would have made my own spag sauce, but we had 1/2 jar left from when DH was last on his own. Be sure to cut the chard up before you cook it, it's hard to cut after. (And I cut the ribs out. You can use them in place of celery in things, but I don't like the texture, so my friend's chickens get them).
Today:
no run, early meeting and I just couldn't do it today
pnb toast, berries, protein shake
cc/berries
turkey/spinach/tomatoes/cheddar, tortilla
dinner? going to my sil's, will make good choices.
Tuesday:
B - raisin bran, raspberries, blueberries, skim milk
S - grapes
L - leftover flank steak with corn and tomato relish
S - plum, apple w/laughing cow lite
D - pasta w/sauce and 1 T parmesan, 2 ears corn, roasted cauliflower
S - piece of challah w/jelly, nsa pumpkin cheesecake pudding
