Today, Aug 31
Longish bike ride in the morning, dog walk, and swim in afternoon means eating is a little heavy.
It is so easy to see the correlation between being tired and eating things like grahams or granola-type bars. Unfortunately I'm tired all the time, and don't expect that to change until DD is older.
Also, no more big containers of chocolate covered almonds in the house!
Meh, not a great day in terms of balance because I basically ate the same thing for lunch and dinner (I had to 'get rid' of that food before it goes bad, since I'm away for the week-end and the steaks had to be consumed today at the latest). But still, here goes:
B: Coffee, ~100g whole-wheat bread, and a little bit of fructose (low-cal) strawberry jam + butter. (Don't take her bread away from the French woman! )
S: 1 apple
L: Lettuce, 1 soy steak with its little dose of dressing (little: 20 cals, according to the pack), green beans, 1 rice cake (the round, dry, flat kind), 1 'probiotics' yogurt (I found that in a German store, no idea what probiotics is, but it sounded good)
D: Lettuce/soy steak/beans again, with 40g of boulghour, then some cottage cheese with ~120g of raspberries thrown in.
If I'm not wrong, I'm at about 1300-1350 calories, and feeling that I've eaten like a queen.
B - 2 waffles, 1 with natural peanut butter, 1 with cherry jam
S - 6 oz blackberries
L - Went to my favorite lunch bistro with a friend. We split a steak wrap sandwich (sooo good, avocado, black bean salsa, grilled flank steak). I got a side order of roasted summer squash, but they were drowning in butter, so not sure if they were really a healthier choice than the normal chip option.
S - tall non fat sugar free vanilla latte, split an order of bread pudding with whipped cream with my friend
S - tangelo
D - 1 lamb chop, 1/4 cup whole wheat couscous (dry), big bunch of wilted kale (loved this mixed with the couscous and some lemon)
gaaack - I wasnt going to have a snack but ONE of the sweet banana peppers from my CSA turned out to be a hot banana pepper. I was making fresh pico de gallo for dinner and I for some reason decided to check by placing the cut end of the pepper on the tip of my tongue. This is a blistering hot pepper. SO
S: 1/2 cup plain yogurt for cooling
D will be: grilled salmon with fresh pico, spanish rice for the kids, fresh corn and green beans and couple low carb tortillas - making it fish tacos.
dh was late at dinner and i ended up nibbling nibbling nibbling macadamia nuts. Calories for the day ended up about 200 higher than I wanted, but I am annoyed with myself that my fat content has been so high at the expense of good carbs that I need for training
Today:
B: oatmeal with honey, 1/2 peach, 1/2 oz almonds, 1/2 oz walnuts.
B - 2 waffles, 1 with natural peanut butter, 1 with cherry jam
S - 8 oz strawberries
L - 3 tacos - 3 blue corn crunchy shells, spicy veggie crumble filling, 1 diced roma tomato, shredded kale, a tiny bit of low fat cheese, tons of salsa
S - tall non fat sugar free latte
S - tangelo
D - 4 oz ahi tuna, 1/4 cup whole wheat couscous (dry), big bunch of wilted kale (loved this mixed with the couscous and some lemon)

As you can see, I didn't score very high because I am low in protein and over in some areas. But, since I am so new to this, I know it is going to take time to get my foods right.
