What are you eating/doing today? Friday!

Ok, so it’s Friday! Yay! Raining. Boo! One good thing about this weather though is that I can turn on my oven and not be in hell, so I’m using the opportunity to make myself another batch of wasabi roasted peas! These things are seriously addictive and I love them. I may also roast some chickpeas as well. Protein, protein, protein!

 

Today I have a bold lunch. Bold because Nik is going somewhere she’s never gone before as a post-op. Today…I have…a sandwich. On bread. The reason? A good one. Wait for it…wait for it…

 

Because I wanted a sandwich.

 

Actually it’s half a sandwich. Even the wonder pouch could not take on a whole sandwich, rest assured. I “sandwiched" my sandwich in solid protein meals but I honestly don’t think the carb hit will be much different than my regular choices. Just less fiber. I’ll add some benefiber to my drinks today and it should be all good.

 

Eats:

 

Pre-B: PB nosh (and I was doing so good!)

 

B: Mint Mocha Click Frapp

 

L: ½ pastrami & cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mustard on whole wheat, 1 oz. Kay’s natural crispy parmesan chips

 

S: ¾ greek yogurt w/ splenda

 

D: I am in a Mexican mood lately! I think I’m gonna marinate some chicken in greek yogurt and taco seasoning for about an hour, grill it (on the Foreman grill) and serve it as a sandwich to the divas and for me it will go atop a salad.

 

LNS: Peppermint Paddy frozen hot chocolate (protein hot chocolate this time tho) w/ 2 tbsp whippage

Morning Nik!  Sunny here today and a little warmer than yesterday. 

Here's my plan for today:

B1: Peppermint Paddy/choc frapp
B2: hard boilded egg, 1/2 c grapes, cheese stick
L: Cabbage and Sausage soup   YUMMO!
S: click/choc/PB2 frapp
D: Panko baked Tilapia and crowder peas
S: Power Crunch bar

1603 cal, 63 fat, 132 carb, 128 Protein

Hope that today is smoother sailing in the office than yesterday.  Plan to just relax a little this weekend.  Only thing planned is having a new dishwasher installed, my old one broke about 3 weeks ago and I sure did miss it.

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

B: Chocolate peanut butter shake (no nasty shakes for this gal)

S: 1 Egg Rosettes* (made with fresh basil & feta cheese) & 1 small blueberry low carb, high protein muffin

L: White chili

S: Kay's chili cheese chips

D: BBQ chicken & steamed zucchini/yellow squash

S: Activa Light peach yogurt

**Note to Nik about the Egg Rosettes - DH is in love with you for providing that recipe!

Wow, 2 post so far both using a recipe of mine. I think my head just grew an inch or two!

Glad you like the rosettes!

3 hour class this morning, followed by catch-up at work.  Trying to stretch groceries until pay-day (Tuesday) - so I may end up having to defrost stuff and *gasp* cook.  Not really sure what I'm having but probably some variation on the following:

Pre-B: EAS Shake
B: Ostrim bar (not ideal, but I can eat it in the car on the way to class... my pouch doesn't like eating before 10:30)
L: Wendy's chili maybe
D: Grilled chicken and steamed veggies
S: Roast edamame; Glenny's soy crisps with hummus. Fiber One yogurt

Bit low on cals for the day: 865 cals; 90g protein; 72g carbs; 25g fat.  Hmmmm, well we'll see if I end up eating this way or not.

good morning.... oy this rain is something....   I love roasted chickpeas...

Ok, So today I am going to concentrate on work...but good luck with that.  work, print out boarding passes, work, sneak away from work to get nails done, work and dream about Mickey! 

Eating wise, I have NO CLUE!!!  So far here is what I am thinking...and it is going to be a very short list:

L:  IDK  Maybe some deli meat and cheese
S:  Clueless
D:  Even more clueless
S:  Guess what....clueless!

Lots to do today even though I hve planned accordingly....hubby hasn't done so good in this department.  Then, my car that was supposed to be done from the shop yesterday wasn't even started    so that will add yet another thing to do this afternoon.  Also have to take the fur baby to "spa"...that is where we tell him he is going...but I don't think he likes the spa so much!  Hubby about cries when the baby goes to the spa....argh!  Not gonna be a fun afternoon...but tomorrow is another wonderful day!!!!  So, I will have to post all my yummies when I get back!  Have a great week!  Talk to you in a week!! 

No rain here. It's supposed to get into the 100's. Yikes. This is why I do my walking so damn early in the morning. I went walking at 4 AM this morning, but I was so tuckered out I had to cut out early - I only got in about 35 minutes.  I have an appointment at a gym with locations both where I work and near my home (I work 35 miles away from home home) to see if I can afford to join.  I hope it works out. (No pun intended - )

Eats:

B: Isopure Zero Carb Creamy Vanilla Protein Shake with FF Lactaid Milk

S: Click (I'm lactose intolerant - and this is the only protein powder that is not lactose free that doesn't seem to bother my tummy.  It's also yummy - bonus!)

L: Tuna w/ lite mayo - 3 oz 

Dinner: Probably poached fish (tillapia or snapper)

Desert: SF Popsicles!!!!!

Made my calorie goal again yesterday 1256! whoot! Lotsa energy going on, but on a bad note, can't burn it off, cause my back (old disc injury) is killing me!!  I just want to lay on my stomach on the floor all day. But I've got to sit in this chair and type instead.Bummer.

1) 1 piece of nature's own wheat bread w/ natural pb & sf preserves.
2) click
3) Lunch (Idk, it's payday)
4) maybe protein tea, depends on lunch
5) dinner will be out, so idk about that either, but I'm going to probably have a salad.
6) smoothie. gonna try an orange dreamcicle of some kind. (anybody got a recipe?)

That's my day. Hoping my back feels better. Going to keep up the calories this weekend and hope that monday the scales will have moved down.

Have a great weekend!

There is one on my protein shake list!  See link in my signature.
