Accountability - Wednesday

It is far too nice out to be inside today. I wish I could take my computer and work outside...lol

Yesterday's fuel:

B: Kashi honey almond flax bar
S: 2 corn thins with 2 tsp. cashew macadamia butter
L: Beef taco with lettuce, cheese, and tomato
S: Apple
D: 3 oz. lightly breaded pork chop
S: gingerbread

Getting more iron in is progressively easier. I know that I need to be better about the carbohydrates, but some days I'm just whiny and stubborn.

If you can do beef, try adding a slice of tomato to your beef patty...and then eat more beef. When you add the tomatoes the iron you get from the beef quadruples...I did that when i was pregnant with my son and couldn't take the iron rich pre-natals...Those things bound me up like a BRICK...

I sure feel the whiny and stubborn thing today. I didn't want to split up some work for before and after lunch...didn't want to sit around here and eat lunch so I didn't eat at all and went shopping. I'm whiny and obsessive and stamping my feet. I need a pre-school nap, I think...

One of my favorite things in the world is a dish called Steak Nancini. It's basically a steak cooked medium rare and topped with very fresh tomato and fresh mozzarella broiled until it melts and browns a bit. I eat tomatoes with just about anything. I just wish they weren't so depressingly flavorless in the winter.

A pre-school nap sounds good. How come we don't get those at work? I'd bring my own mat!

I always remember I have SF popsicles when I see someone posts it...They're from two years ago..I think I may have to break me out one of those tonight...It's another hot one and I'm cranky.

Good work on the tons of water. Summer is still hanging on so I know everyone needs more water no matter how much they're getting.

ok i need to know what is TVP?? I like to see what the further outs are eatin" lol

Textured Vegetable Protein. Carne de Soya at the mexican market..You can find it at the health food store and lucked out and found it at the mexican market too...12 grams of protein for 1/4 cup

So do u add it to your food? or do u eat it alone? and does it have a flavor? thanks for answering

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

I add 1/4 cup of it to my instant oatmeal or hot cereal and cook it. I soak it in salsa and add cheese to it or just use it as adip for chips. I also put it on top of my yogurt to add a nutty crunch to that...

It has a semi-nutty flavor to it that can go either way, sweet or savory...

Thanks so much i will have to check it out!!
