Salad

7-18 food

Here's my lunch and then snack, yes they are pretty much identical b/c I'm lazy lol.  Grilled chicken with half a sweet potato and string beans with a little organic butter.

Then for dinner I had a cheeseburger with no bun.  Again, not ideal, but I got home from work 2 hours late and that's what I got - a cold burger.  fun times.

Today's food

For breakfast, I had a pure protein bar peanut butter flavor.  (20g protein).  

Lunch was leftover calamari salad - calamari, celery, red pepper, red onion, oil & vinegar dressing, and I put this over field greens, and added black olives.

My snack will be 3 hard boiled omega 3 eggs with 85g of thin string beans with like 1/3 tbsp pasture butter.

Dinner post to follow when I figure out what it is.  

*If I have time, there may be a secondary workout tonight.

Lunch

 

I was totally unprepared for today.  I was supposed to be gone all day, but instead my plans were cancelled and I was at the office - with no food.  So, breakfast was a protein bar and a tea with half and half.  And lunch - mixed greens, grilled chicken, black olives, broccoli, sundried tomatoes, red onions and balsamic dressing with an unsweetened iced tea with a squeeze of a lemon from Saladworks.  Then I snacked on some almonds and peanuts I found in the office kitchen around 3pm because I was starving.

More Chipless Nachos For Lunch

 

• 4 oz ground beef
• 1/4 cup refried beans
• 1/4 cup avocado
• 1 tbsp sliced black olives
• 1/2 tbsp sour cream
• 1/2 oz sharp cheddar
• totals: 383 calories, 30 grams protein, 23 grams fat, 12 carbohydrates.

This has to be one of my absolute favorite lower carb meals!   YUM

Today's Mishap

So, today started off ok:

5am - B12 supplement and tea w 1 tbsp cream

5:30am - 45 minute spin class

 6:15am - 3 BCAA capsules

then I got showered and dressed for work and packed my breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner (b/c I'd be working late), got the kids ready, dropped the kids at daycare, drove to work  

AAAANNNDDD

I realized I left the freaking bag of food on my kitchen table to be ruined.  Worse I realized this 5 minutes before work was to start and my only realistic option was the 7-11 a few blocks away.

So, the best I could do was a pure protein bar (20g protein, 6g fat, 16 carbs) from which the sugar alcohols gave me an upset stomach and 2 hard boiled eggs.  This brought my morning totals (with the cream) to:

390 calories,

32g protein,

20g fat, and

16g carbs

Then for lunch I got a Mardi Gras Chicken Salad from Muscle Maker Grill: Cajun Chicken, Turkey Bacon, Lettuce, Red Onions.  Which is supposedly

415 calories,

44grams of protein,

22g of fat, and

9g carbs (when it had tomatoes

)

 

Only problem is I could only finish half of it!  So this will also be my snack and I will be pretty low on calories today.

Lunch

 

Mixed Organic greens, a can of tuna, kalmatta olives, mushrooms, feta cheese, a little evoo, and balsamic vinegar.

Lunch

 

Today's lunch is chicken, broccoli, green beans, sugar snap peas, carrots, red pepper, garlic and onion cooked in extra virgin sesame seed oil and a little soy sauce.  I also put in a little cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes.  And, I'm drinking some iced green tea (plain green tea that I brewed and then iced). 

Lunch

leftover turkey, broccoli, mushrooms, onions and red pepper cooked with garlic and great northern beans.  I had a few bites and the baby had a few bites and I'm saving the rest for a snack since I'm not that hungry (still full from my breakfast!)

This Morning's Good and Bad

I had intended on getting up early to get in some cardio, but when my daughter woke me up at 4:20am, I felt like death, and skipped my 5am workout to sleep in until 6am.  Yes, that right 6am is sleeping in for me lol.  I feel much better now, my body really needed the sleep after a very long work day yesterday and what will be a late work day today.  Its an excuse but sleep is important too!

On a more positive note, my size 4 work pants are loose on me today!  And, I'm starting to be able to see my lower abs underneath my lovely mom skin. :)

Breakfast was same as yesterday: 3 omega 3 eggs with spinach, green peppers & onions and sundried tomatoes with a little organic cheese. 

And I'm super boring and my lunch and snack will be my homemade chilli again. 

Starting off the Day With VEGGIES!

I had a cup of awake tea with a little cream. 

Added a little organic butter to the frying pan and onions, green bell peppers, spinach, portabella mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes.  Then I added in 3 omega 3 eggs and made an omelet with a small amount of organic sharp cheddar cheese in the middle.  YUM.

Today's lunch & snack will be some of my homemade chilli (beef, onions, dark & light kidney beans, whole tomatoes (from my garden), tomato paste, diced green bell pepper, a little beer for flavor, and lots of various hot peppers (from my garden & super spicy).

Bad Eating Day For Me Today...Almost No Veggies

I had very little time for myself today.  For Breakfast, I had about a scoop of chocolate isopure whey protein with a drop of mint extract and had 15 raw almonds.

Lunch was a piece of chicken breast seasoned with red pepper, cumin & garlic and a little less than half an avocado.

Dinner was a Turkey leg...I was salivating over this for some reason tonight.


 I got a crockpot of chilli cooking for lunches for the week...and that turkey leg came off of  a 14 lbs bird that I cooked to also have leftovers for meals during the week.

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.

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!
