Monday....Again

Breakfast: English muffin (3), natural pb (3), banana (0) = 6 points = 300 calories



I read about someone eating this breakfast on Shape's twitter last week and I've been craving it ever since.

Lunch: Gazpacho (3) , tomato mozzarella salad (4) = 7 points = 255 calories



I'm not sure about the calories and such on the gazpacho. I tried to do the recipe builder and ran out of time. I don't really know how many servings. If I put in 4 servings it said it was 100 calories and 3 points. It's all veggies so I guess that's about right. The salad had 1 oz. of mozzarella on it with 1/2 tbsp of EVOO and some balsamic mixed together with crushed red pepper and some garlic salt.



Snack: Peach(0) = 61 calories

Dinner: Asparagus (1), grilled turkey fillet (5), cauliflower (2), watermelon (0), 2 servings of light ice cream (6) it was too good! = 14 points = 777 calories

Total = 27 points = 1393 calories. Maybe I should try and break my calories up more throughout the day instead of loading them at the end. At least I'm going running in like an hour and a half to burn some of that off.

Fitness: 37 minutes of running this evening

Sunday July 24th

Okay so today I didn't track. I ate all healthy items but I was just eating a little piece of fruit here and some veggies here so I didn't really keep track.

I did workout with Jillian tonight. 30 Day Shred Level 3. She is so hard core. Level 3 is more pliometrics and jumping and squating. I will hurt tomorrow.

I made gazpacho for lunch all week. It's in the fridge "coming together" hopefully. I also made a new drink tonight. I've been reading the Clean Eating magazine and it had a recipe for a watermelon, papaya, jalepeno drink. I just had it after my work out and it was amazing. You can put alcohol in it but I didnt cause it really doesn't need anything. I will have to make that again. I took pics. I will try and upload some tomorrow.

I hope you had a great Sunday dude!

Sunday

    Breakfast: Peach (0), Peach Chobani (3), Cocoa Almonds (3) = 6 points = 278 calories

    Fridays are always great because I know the weekend is coming but sometimes the day takes forever to end.

    I'm looking into yoga classes to try tomorrow. They have a ballet/yoga class that I really want to try and then I finally saw somewhere advertising hot yoga which I've always wanted to do.

    I also am researching different farmers markets to try out. I need to start making connections with the local farmers.

    FRIDAY

    So yesterday was one of those really long days-didn't get done or even have a chance to blog on the phone until about 10 last night and I just went to bed instead. 

    Sounds like you had a really good night!!  Cant wait to hear all about it and your new venture!!!  :)  Where do you want to meet on Saturday?

    Breakfast:  cereal with the fixin's (I get stuck in ruts and eat the same thing 100 times....)
    Lunch:  hopefully Ghengis Grill
    Dinner:  James' Low-Carb Spaghetti
    Snacks: tomatoes, cheesestick

    Thursday July 21st (Couldn't it be Friday?)

    Breakfast: 2 eggs (3), 2.5 oz avocado (3), 1/4 honeydew (0) = 6 points = 368 calories

    Lunch: Turkey on wheat bun w/tomato & mustard (4), corn on the cob (2), peach, almonds (3) = 9 points = 389 calories

    Dinner: Tofu noodles w/pesto(6), 1/2 bloody mary (3), cupcake (5), skim milk (2) = 16 points

    Total = 31 points

    Went out and ran 7 walked 2 and repeated 3 times and did a 5 minute walk warm up and 5 minute walk cool down.



    Starting off my water and no more pop challenge. I think this is going to be great!I think it will be totally worth it and will make me feel so much better.

    So I have to go to sushi again tonight but I did some research on this place and I think they serve tofu noodles that are pretty much like nothing. They are 20 calories a serving and you can get them with veggies and light sauce so I'm hoping to just have that and sorbet for dessert or a bloody mary. I'm going out with Betsy so it will probably be a bloody Mary. I am going to go home and work out though afterwards.

    I'm a little nervous about dinner because Betsy is bringing her friend who is a vegan/healthfood chef that trained in NYC and I really think I want to open a food truck. I've been thinking about it for about a month now and I can't get the thought out of my head. And I told Betsy about it and the next week her friend all of a sudden moves back from NYC. I think the timing is so meant to be. Even if she doesn't want to partner up I'm hoping she can introduce me to some other local chefs. I mean I would obviously need to get a feel for the person because the concepts are going to come from both of us and we have to have a similar stance on the business's future. I think this is really what my next step is supposed to be though so I think there's a lot of pressure. I have all of these inside voices telling me I can't do this and to not even try but then I think...why not? Why can someone else succeed at this and I can't? So here's to tonight going well!

    Tonight was so awesome. I can't wait to tell you all about it on Saturday!

    Wimpy Wednesday

    • Breakfast:  cereal with strawberries and almonds
    • Snack:  cheesestick
    • Lunch:  chicken tiki marsala at the Indian food place.  I got vegetables instead of rice at least.  And didn't eat much of the Naan--even though it was reeeeeeaallly good and fresh!  No idea how bad this was.  Probably pretty bad.  
    • Dinner:   small piece of steak, 1/2 a bowl of cereal.  Nothing is tasting very good right now!

    I'm just ready for this week to be over with.  I am so over this rotation.  Seriously boring.  Also, want to shop for a wedding gift at Wal-Mart with me on Saturday?  Gotta get one before Saturday evening.  

    I'm ready for our meet-up.   Maybe we could get magazines and go sit at Starbucks/aspen?  Thinking about bringing my laptop if you're interested....  hrm.....  Just thoughts.  I need some serious motivation!!
