So I am intrigued by "bento" lunches right now.  I may have to start doing this!  You should google image it!  It is the hot thing on pinterest too.

This past weekend I had a slider hamburger that had peanut butter on it, and it was AWESOME.  I think your food truck needs cool combos like that!  I never would have thought it would be so tasty!

Monday ....Is it really August already?

Breakfast: English muffin (3), pb (3), banana (0), 1 c. skim milk (2) = 8 points = 406 calories

Lunch: turkey wrap (3), apple (0) = 185 calories

Dinner: Fried Rice (7), peas (1), 1/2 c. pineapple coconut ice cream (3), 1/16 piece of peach cake (4) = 15 points = 577 calories

total = 26 points = 1168 calories

Activity: Run or Jillian...Edit: No activity today. I decided to give my body a rest today. It has been over a 8 days since I've had a day off and I'm super tired tonight so I will be resting. I had to write a business plan for the truck to take to the bank in the am to get our loan so we can get our truck and now I just want to read and go to bed. I will go to zumba tomorrow tonight!

So I canceled my subscription to Weight Watchers today. As of 8/19/11 I will no longer be attending meetings. I just don't think it's worth the money at this point. Some of this also has to do with looking at my spending and trying to clean up areas in my life where there are expenses I don't really need.

Those lists are awesome! I need some of those!

I may be confused. Can you explain the bento thing to me? Is it a way to arrange your lunch? Is there a purpose? They sure are neat looking whatever they are!

Sunday July 31st

Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas (4), 1/2 c. black beans (3), 1 oz. avocado (1), tomato, salsa = 8 points = 327 calories

Lunch: Starbucks Grande Iced Chai (6) = 200 calories

Snack: Ice cream (3) = 120 calories

Dinner: Cauliflower fried rice (7), green pepper (0), greek yogurt dip (4) = 11 points = 441 calories



Total = 28 points = 1078 calories

Fitness: Jillian Ripped in 30 or Couch to 5K. Haven't decided yet. I want to go to zumba at 2 but we're going to look at the food truck at 1:00 so I don't know if I'll have time.

Trying to pick out some good recipes for this week. I will be making the cauliflower pizza this week for sure!

Cauliflower pizza is next on the list. I got all the stuff for it today at the store. I saw this fried rice recipe though and it was so good! I know it's not very colorful. The red peppers at the store didn't look very good so I just added mushrooms and spicy turkey sausage (which is just ground turkey cooked w/spices). Have tried making rice with the cauliflower? It's like a magical item.

Just got in from my couch to 5k run (10:23pm) I'm so ready for the weather to cool down so I can run earlier in the day. I used one of the running apps. It was nice to know my distance. Not so nice to know my pace. It was pretty slow but I guess I'm not trying to win a race at this point. I am now up to the run 10 walk 2 and repeat 3 times. I was struggling on my last one but was able to make it.

Now it's time for some water and cake...haha. I made an angel food cake with peach pie filling. Mrs. Owsley gave me the recipe. It's just like diet coke cake except you use pie filling. I'm going to put it in the recipe builder as soon as I get out from the shower.

For 1/16 of the cake which is a decent size piece because I put it in my large pyrex dish is is 144 calories and 4 points. It's 33.62 carbs, 0 fiber, 0 fat and 2.6g protein. Still probably not very good for you and James, dangit. My next dessert will be something with less carbs.

Sunday

Ok so I did not track yesterday.  I have many reasons, but mostly I just ate too much shit.  If it gives you any idea, we went to get a cupcake on Friday at Gigi's and instead of giving us each one like we wanted, they filled the rest of the box....yup, they sent us home with 6 cupcakes each.  They were closing so they wanted to get rid of them.  So yeah, I don't want to see a cupcake for a lng time (I only ate two-one Friday and one Saturday).  Anyway, got most of my application done and ready, so at least it was productive!

Back on track today.

• Breakfast:  iced coffee, cereal with blueberries=13.80
• Lunch: crab cake, salad, peel and eat shrimp=2.15
• Snack:  cheese stick, 5 cherries=5.01
• Dinner: two low carb tortillas (8), taco meat, guacamole, sour cream=11.23
• Total: 32.19

Oh Saturday....my favorite!

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

Lunch: Mozzarella cheese and tomato salad (2), 2.75 oz avocado (3), baked cauliflower w/evoo (4), ice cream (9) = 16 points = 728 calories

Dinner: 2 corn tortillas (4), 4 oz of ground turkey 97% fat free (3), 1/4 c. black beans (1), tomato, green onion, salsa = 8 points = 414 calories



Total = 30 points = 1442 calories

Got up this morning and did toning zumba. Last week I didnt use weights and today I used 3's on each arm. She said the max you could do was 3 but that's all I had at home. Max was right. Dear goodness. Holding those up the whole hour was really hardcore.

Also did Jillian's Ripped in 30 yesterday and she just gets more and more hardcore. My body feels really fatigued today...but in a good way.

Went to watch roller derby tonight. That is a goal....I will be out there playing one day!

Friday...Amen

Monday: English muffin (3), pb (3), banana (0), skim milk (1) = 7 points = 343 calories

Lunch: 1 c. tomato bisque and 1/2 ham & cheese = 14 points = 806 calories (This is hilarious. I went to lunch with the girls at work. They wanted to go to BJ's. They both watch their calories like crazy and told me that they always get the bisque and 1/2 sandwich because it's 364 calories. I found a website that said it was 364 calories too but then I found the real nutritional information. I don't have the heart to tell them they've been eating nearly 2.5 times what they think it is. Oh well, haha)

Remainder: 8 points or 351 calories. I will shoot for 1500 calories today. We'll see how much I work out to see if I need to change that around at all. Here's to being flexible.

Dinner: Had a spinach salad w/raspberry vinaigrette and a mojito. I really don't know what the calories are. The salad didn't have much on it besides spinach, red onions and some pine nuts. Walked all over bricktown and did Jillian so I won't worry too much about the calories.

Fitness: I'm hoping to go buy Jillian's Ripped in 30 today. I heard it's so much harder than the 30 day shred but I want to see what it's like. I wish they had Zumba on Fridays.

Going to research running apps this morning. I will report back with what I find.

Here is the link I found to the top 10 running apps. That first app looks awesome. It's $10 and I've never spent money on an app before. I didn't even buy angry birds for myself but it looks so cool I may have to splurge. The fitnio looks cool too though and is a lot cheaper. I like the ultra timer for the couch to 5k though because it could alert me when it's time to switch over to walking instead of having to keep looking at my phone when the time gets close! So many to choose from

Other things to do tonight:
-Buy 30 Day Ripped
-Buy Bossypants from B&N
-Meet Betsy at 8:30 for a drink
-Movies at 9:50 w/Megan and Betsy (Are you going to be in the city? Would you guys like to come to drinks and movies with us?)

Friday Friday Friday

Well today and tomorrow could get interesting.  I am visiting Kim tonight to work on my residency apps and I've heard the words cupcakes and wine thrown around.  Then tomorrow we have a clinical skills workshop, so I am staying at her house tonight.  Will have my laptop to track, but I can't promise it'll be pretty.  I'm going to try to at least work on portion sizes and such since I don't know if I'll have a chance to workout today or tomorrow.

I'm heading to go take my Family Medicine final now....  So glad I'm done with this rotation.
