Whatcha eating today? Saturday, 10/22/2016

Husband left for airport at 4:30am & dog got me up at 5:00am. Too tired this morning to make the egg white veggie omlette I had planned.

B - Coffee with 1 oz of Premier Protein shake. Egg salad on 2 slices of Healthy Life toast. 2nd coffee, mid morning 

L - Shrimp & feta cheese with cucumber, tomato, red onion, avocado & balsamic vinegar (my favorite!)

D- Meatballs, sauce & tofu spaghetti noodles (bought them at the oriental market & will be trying them for the first time)

S - Homemade chicken soup & something tbd (maybe some beef jerky or roasted edamame)

E - Dog park & walk around the lake.

Curious how the noodles are (taste and texture). Please share after you try them :) 

AK Gipson - The noodles were good. They're in our Asian market & are House Foods tofu shirataki spaghetti shape. A 4 oz svg is 10 cal, 3 gr carb, 1 gr protein (also have a macaroni shape). Very filling & very much like spaghetti. Next time I make them, I'm going to only have 2-3 oz (the 4 oz svg is too much for me) with a protein. I'd also heat them up before adding any sauce. They are stored in a liquid and even though I drained them, they diluted the sauce.

Next time I think I'll try using them in a lo mein dish.

I think my day will rival yours in the "unexciting" category.  I'm redesigning a web site for my non-profit, so I'll spend most of my day preparing materials for my presentation at the board meeting on Tuesday.  I actually enjoy doing it.  I am retired, and my non-profit work is an important part of my life and self-image. 

Yesterday, I had a day trip with a friend, and we ate at a pub where I had a hamburger and onion rights.  I didn't eat very much, but I did have perhaps a quarter of the roll and the breading on the onion ring (only one!).  But it was enough carbs to cause me to retain water and show a gain on the scale.

But today will be better.

Breakfast - salmon

Lunch - I'll finish my taco casserole over spaghetti squash did from my new cookbook.

Dinner - Pork and cabbage fried rice, also from the new cookbook - yum

snack - Dijon lime chicken.

water and vitamins - always on track

exercise - I'm getting fed up with my laziness and will start walking again today.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

No exercise today

Damn, homework on the weekend? I don't envy ya!

My weekend, super boring. I luv horror movies so I'm doing my own movie marathon while doing this resting & chilling out thing. Its rainy windy & cloudy so it makes it so much easier to stay in the house. Plus I'm feeling super whiny. I've been babying my arm. Reach up to scratch my head, oops, wrong arm, ouch. Whine, whine, whine, blah, blah, blah. My day so far looks like:

Breakfast Orgain protein drink, eggs, cheese & bacon

Lunch Quest protein bar, shrimp salad

Dinner Mahi burger, quest protein drink

Snacks skinny pop, jarlesberg cheese, quest protein chips, sf hazelnut spread

I have homework every single day of the week, and there's always something more that I could be doing.  Busy busy.  But I love what I'm learning, so it's all good :)
