Whatcha Eatin' Today? Wednesday 22MAR17

I went for an eye exam yesterday. Hasn't changed in 3 years. That was a surprise!

This kept me from going to the gym, which was probably a good thing, as my right knee is a little achy. I need to use the elliptical more this week.

I had to run a car over to the mechanic as soon as I woke up this morning - whee. I had planned on not needing to leave the house at all. Oh well. Now I'm home and I have quite a list of things to accomplish. I'm hoping for a great and productive and relaxing day!

1: protein shake
2: leftover skirt steak - omg, this stuff was amazing and so simple
3: staff meal oven-roasted chicken thighs, balsamic-glazed mushrooms, skillet roasted potatoes - the first two recipes are from my cookbook for this week, Mozza at Home. I just noticed that I had actually planned this to be Friday's dinner. Oops. But the first step is "put chicken on tray in refrigerator overnight" and I've already done that last night, so it will be dinner tonight whether I had planned that or not!

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: yoga

OMG lol I totally read that as "I had to run a car over the mechanic" hahaha

So glad that's not what really happened!!

LOL! My mechanic is clearly a jerk, so I had to run him over a few times ;)

"I'm hoping for a great and productive and relaxing day!"

Productive and relaxing... Sounds like an oxymoron to me!

I hate exercising in public. I have a recumbent bike but it still hurts my bad knees. Today I ordered an elliptical machine, and I'm excited about it getting here. Getting serious about exercise, I've been slacking bad!

B: Bacon and cheese omelet, coffee w/H&H and xylitol

L: Steak

D: Steak

Water and vites on track

E: What I can manage

My elliptical was one home exercise machine that I bought that didn't end up being a clothes hanger. I had it in my family/living room where I could use it and watch tv. It was a monster. I had to sell it when I moved to VA. But I use the ones at the gym!

Good morning,

B spinach, orange pepper, ham and cheese omelet and string cheese

L tuna and cottage cheese

D crack chicken and cabbage

S Greek yogurt, turkey sausage snack sticks and cutie orange

Have a great day

I'm still feeling kind of crummy. Arg. I think I might go to the gym anyway today and see if a little sweat helps - plus I'm dying to do the workout.

I didn't eat enough yesterday. I think my appetite is low because I'm sick. My protein was only 83grams which is super low for me. I'm going to make sure to get in more today.

B - fit frappe & coffee

L - pasta, chicken meatball, broccoli

S - yogurt parfait & protein shake

D - leftover thai

S - cottage cheese & berries

E - deadlift, row & rope climbs ;) (or rest if I'm feeling super crummy still)

This reminds me that I need to start increasing my protein. I keep on forgetting. But my plastic surgeon wants me to be getting closer to 100g a day vs the 80ish a day I'm getting now.

All the protein.

I'm thinking I should probably just go zero carb between now and the end of recovery. Maybe I'll have a "cheat day" each week where I have a plate of veggies for dinner or something. :P
