i guess i'll go ahead and post my menu for tomorrow while i have it fresh in my mind.
1: 1 poached egg with "creamed" spinach, 1 slice low sodium ezekiel toast with 1 tsp. almond butter
workout
2: "fall in a glass" smoothie (1/2 cup apple cider, a dash of cinnamon, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ice)
3: broccoli and hummus
4: white bean and kale stuffed spaghetti squash (i'm SO excited for this)
exercise:
20 minutes HIIT run, 15 minutes heavy elliptical
my breakfast was much too heavy for that hard of a workout. it wasn't a lot of food, but just sat like a rock.
Yesterday was a weird day, I basically didn't eat. NOT ADVOCATING doing that
Monday's plan turned out great, so I am almost repeating it:
Phase 1
B - coffee with almond milk, chocolate cheesecake smoothie
L - leftover veggie sausage with sauteed cabbage
S - Tofurkey wraps with light cream cheese, green onions, red pepper slices and arugula
S2 - salmon salad in romaine lettuce leaves
Dinner - Grilled tofu with sauteed mushrooms, "creamed" spinach, sliced tomatoes from the garden
dessert - nonfat Greek yogurt with some raw walnuts
B- Omlette with green peppers & onion with a glass of skim milk
S- Yogurt flavoured with lemon clite (most of a serving)
L- Cream Cheese mixed with seasoned ground beef and onion, topped with hot salsa scooped up with red pepper sections (about 1 1/2 BIG peppers)
S- Almonds (1 oz) and the last bit of yogurt I didn't finish earlier
D- Pepperoni 'chips' topped with bruchetta (homemade) and a pinch of cheddar.
1: breakfast pizza? half whole wheat pita, scrambled eggs, 1 T. reduced fat cheese, hot sauce; clementine orange; coffee
2: big ol' salad with a dollop of hummus instead of dressing
3: reduced fat cheddar, broccoli
4: kale and white bean stuffed acorn squash, roasted asparagus
Hit the library and got a stack of SB-friendly cookbooks and some new workout dvds. Feeling in a bit of a rut and looking forward to mixing it up a bit.
UNT - It's really good! I get a flavored hummus (either spicy red pepper or roasted garlic) OR, I make my own but substitute edamame for the chickpeas. yum!
spin this morning early, breakfast will be light + snack afterward
1: banana w/ almond butter
2: cheese stick, broccoli and red pepper strips, chia fresca
3: big salad w/ hummus dressing
4: coconut milk yogurt
5: stuffed bell peppers, roasted broccoli
Haven't really been following my planned menus, so I'm giving it a go again.

super insomnia last night. i was wide awake until 4

1: half banana with 1 tsp. almond butter

4: might be tough logistically to cook but if i do, stuffed peppers, if not? something OP
3: air popped popcorn (going to a movie - bringing my own popcorn)
OMG - so smart! I never thought of that before... I've sneaked in wine, beer, rum (for rum & diet cokes) ... but popcorn. Brilliant. The smell always gets me when I am there and once I start eating it (if someone else buys it) it's not possible to stop till the giant vat is polished off.
