Lunch

My original plans for fish didn't work out bc lunch was late (at 1:30) so I cooked up some ground beef with chopped onions, some great northern beans cooked with some olive oil, garlic, a bay leaf, and a little white cooking wine (these tasted awesome! The kids thought so too), and some steamed asparagus, corn, and carrots. I didn't eat the carrots though the kids stole them.

Last night and breakfast

Well last night went down hill, let's just say I was starting a new position and had my babysitter show up with my kids causing a scene and cause damage to my car. I wound up having a tea, a detour bar, and then 2 hard boiled eggs before bed.
Breakfast this morning is 3 o3 eggs, peppers, onions, sundried tomatoes, and a little organic sharp cheddar.
I was also planning on doing some morning cardio but both of my kids were up before 5, so that didn't happen. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I will actually make it to the gym the way things have been going. Oh yeah, I'm also sick with a headache and a sore throat.
Fun times!

Breakfast, Snacks, Lunch

I had a green tea and the remaining 1/4 of my green egg & veggie dish for breakfast (I know I'm sooo exciting), then for a snack I had some raw almonds and cashews.

Lunch I threw together this morning from what I had left in the house.  I really need to do some food shopping.  Organic spring mix lettuce, a can of tuna, kalmatta olives, sundried tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese, topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a little salt and pepper.  And, it doesn't taste bad.  I'm also unable to finish it all in one sitting.  I brought more almonds and cashews with me as a snack if needed.  I think I may need to start drinking protein shakes again if I can't get myself to make or bring more protein.  Next week will be better!

This Mornings Intervals

This morning I did 15 minutes of intervals - 20 seconds of max effort with 10 seconds of rest.
I alternated the following exercises:
jumping jacks (my daughter was up and insisted on this one)
20 lbs kettle ball swings
burpees with a pushup
lunge jumps (alternating legs in lunges)
hand walkouts
all of this was done as fast as I could for 20 seconds

Last Night's Dinner

Broil flounder for like 3-5 min on on side flip and coat with paste made from butter, olive oil, garlic, and grated parmesean (amounts don't matter as long as its like a paste), and then broil for 3-5 more minutes. On the side is shrimp stirfry (a frozen stirfry bag for the veggies) cooked in sesame oil. All I have to say is YUM for this meal.

Dinner and breakfast for the work week

My family decided that they HAD to have pizza tonight so I had leftover salmon and asparagus.
Then I baked some eggs for breakfast - 2 cups egg whites, 8 omega 3 eggs, 1 cup of spinach, and prob 2 cups of portabella mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and sundried tomatoes. I then sprinkled a little parmesean cheese on top and baked at 350 for 25 minutes. Ill divide this by 4 and probably be stuffed!
I'm now defrosting 5 chicken breasts to cook up for the week too.
I'm chugging a water bottle and then will likely relax with a glass of wine and read some more of "the perfect 10" diet. (I'm reading it bc it was free on amazon this week)
