Dinners this week:

BBQs all weekend makes it hard... pretty off-plan yesterday :( Yoga class cancelled and it just threw me off, so I had no exercise either.

Today I have to put some guidelines in place. (Duh. I say this like it is something I have just discovered!)

B - coffee with us soy milk
Yoga class
smoothie with Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, peanut flour
L - VERY cool - I just realized I have all the ingredients for the popular Weekend Glow Kale salad (except for hemp seeds, maybe I'll use chia instead? or nothing). YAY

S/D/dessert @ BBQ:
Veggies on the grill (peppers, zucchini, asparagus)
veggie hotdogs
whole wheat pita bread
fruit (peaches, cherries)
red wine
Tiny, I mean TINY, portions of the off-plan goodies if they look really tasty

Emma, I sub nutritional yeast for the hemp seeds in my kale salad, or just omit them completely.

Starting work tomorrow. Back to the real world :(

B: PB & B burrito with skim milk
L: 1/2 piece (~100g) bison loaf with millet. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber & hummus
Sn: Cherries, NSA drumstick
S: Zucchini lasagna, 8 chicken meatballs, kale salad.
