Ahh, bright and early on a new week...don't we all just LOVE Monday mornings?
I have been on a mini vacation the past few days--spent Wednesday night through Friday night at my sister's in Va Beach, then had a birthday celebration for my fiance and his cousin at Dave and Buster's on Saturday, then has a PartyLite party to attend yesterday, plus our air conditioning broke, and even with 3 fans going, it was freakishly hot in our apartment, so we extended Jeff's birthday celebration to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner last night. So now, back down to business...
As I sit here trying to keep my eyes propped open, I'm thinking here's my plan for the day:
orange and/or tangerine (someone at work gave me a tangerine on Wednesday--I'll have it if it's still good)
Cheesecake Factory leftovers
turkey burgers w/bacon and Swiss on wheat buns
100-calorie ice cream bar
Right now, all I want to do is go back to bed, but I will try to at least get in a quick walk at lunchtime or something. I need to get my butt up and moving again.
I have as always started my day out well, and am planning for success for the rest of day.
Food plan for today
* Protein shake(chocolate) before gym
* hard boiled egg, oatmeal with br. sugar
* turkey touredo(basically turkey with bacon wrapped around it),and green salad/ with balsalmic dressing
* granny smith apple with peanut butter
* roast beef with cooked veggie, maybe some brown rice
* maybe an almonds and orange or fruit before 7pm.
Did only a partial workout(cardio only) and hope to get back to gym later fro LBW.
Have a great day!
B - Organic Buck wheat cereal, lactose free milk, flax seeds, raisins
L - Thai veggie soup. One piece of bread with butter
D - Spelt spaghetti, locally produced sausage. Zucchini and cucumber. Ketchup.
I have a hard time getting in my fruit everyday, I have to work on that.
Glory - have to tell you I made that leek/chickpea/spinach soup on Sat and it was soooo good! I used fresh spinach, and while I put in a leek, I think an onion would do just as well. We had it for dinner Sat night, and I had it for lunch today, and will for a couple other days this week. I let it cook for several hours so it's almost stew thickness. Oh ya, had a few left over green beans, so they went in too.
B: oatmeal w/1% milk, .5 oz raisins, 1 oz walnuts, ww toast
S: scone - whoops....
L: Glory's soup, 1/2 turkey wrap (ww tortilla), small apple
S: Cottage cheese w/raspberries
D: salmon patty, brown rice, veggie
Breakfast~ 2 ww sourdough pancakes (leftover from weekend), 1T maple syrup (maybe not so good, but yummy), 1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt, & 1 sm mandarin orange
Lunch~ 2 black bean enchiladas (made with ww tortillas and homemade sauce)
Snack~ Dark chocolate (TOM coming...)
Dinner~ The plan is lentil-barley stew, but I'm so tired today so I'm not sure (it takes 90 mins to make)
I'm looking at this thinking, "wow I'm eating bad today." Yikes! I'll make sure I do better tomorrow.
Breakfast~ Uncle Sam cereal with blueberries and soymilk
Snack~ ww tortilla with pb and banana
Lunch~ Smoke salmon sandwhich on whole rye bread with avocado and sprouts, plus 2 small mandarin oranges
Snack~ Apple and light cheddar cheese
Dinner~ Lentil-Barley Stew and low-fat coleslaw (I didn't make the stew last night, but I'm going to make it tonight regardless of how tired I am!)
