What are you eating/doing today? Sunday!

Everyone is still asleep on this end. The youngest child slept well most of last night but the cough came back and no medicine would keep it at bay. The eldest...well...she's about to be a teenager and they sleep endlessly. I don't mind. It's quiet. I like that.

Today is cool and rainy here in Baltimore, a welcome reprieve from the recent heat wave. it feels like March today1 I'm sure I'd appreciate todays temps much better if I were coming from actual winter to this, but seeing as we never got a real winter...

Eats as I know them:

1. Apricot cheesecake Greek yogurt w/ Fiber One topping
2. Probably an egg-chilada
3. Dinner will be crockpot roast, some cheesy mashed cauliflower and seasoned collard greens. The kids will keep hacking at our last loaf of Irish soda bread (I froze it and then thawed this weekend)
4. An English Toffee crunch Weigh****chers ice cream bar

Breakfast:  EAS AdvantEdge Protein Shake
Snack:  Fage Yogurt
Lunch:  ????
Snack:  EAS AdantEdge Protein Shake
Dinner:  Baked salmon, blanched/sauteed fresh green beans, baked sweet potato
Snack:  Yogurt...if I feel empty

Exercise:  Walk on my treadmill at least 30 minutes - target 45

 Hey Nik,
Just wanted to tell you that I made your Taco casserole ( I swapped out the black beans for quinoa because that is what I had in the house) and it was fabulous.  I portioned it out for lunch for the week. Thanks for a great recipe!!!!

B:  Ham and egg on Joseph's Flax, Whole wheat, oat bran pita

L: Taco Casserole

S: Stew

Snacks:  PB2 on same pita, apple, all natural fruit snacks (chewy, low cal and an indulgent carb I know!)

You are welcome! Glad you liked.

Gotta Get in Gear....I'm having a slow, slow start to my day and way too much to do.  Oy!

I'm going to the gym this afternoon and going to do some water jogging and lap swimming.  Plus there's some loads of laundry that need to get done somewhere in my day too!

Nik - I don't know how to post an image to Bariatric Foodie, but I did want to share my picture of a first-time try (and mighty tasty I'd like to add) egg-chilada made with egg+white, ground beef, salsa, mexican cheese and a dollop of guac.  Very tasty and filling!

LOL! You can't post to Bariatric Foodie itself, but you most certainly can send me the image at [email protected]!
