keeping it honest...

Here we go again lol. This is my eating for today, Tuesday. It wasn't 'bad' but wasn't good either lol. Toast w/ butter and SF strawberry preserves Pay Day candy bar (protein in the nuts, right??? ) Beef fajita - managed a smidge over 2/3 of one on an 8 inch tortilla, cheese and sour cream.

Yikes!!! I need to get on the bandwagon of these keep it "honest" posts. Breakfast: Instant cinammon flavored oatmeal w/water Tea w/creamer and splenda Lunch: Protein shake (51 grams protein) Tea w/creamer and splenda Snack: 3 SF candies (hard candies), 3 regular hard candies Snack: 1 pear Snack: 2 more hard candies :O - hungry! Dinner: 1/2 of a small Wendy's chili w/added kidney beans for protein. 4 small Sees chocolates (WAAAAAAAHHHHHH). Today was a "candy" day. I was very low on protein and hungry and couldn't find anything at the office but candy. Oh well . . . tomorrow will be a better day, if I don't puke my guts out tonight. BUT . . . I'm keeping it honest.

Wow, I hate it when I'm really hungry and there's nothing good around! I try and keep jerky or a power crunch bar in my purse so I have food for those situations, but yup - just like you, sometimes poo happens lol. I hope tomorrow is better for you!

Got off work this mornin' and couldn't decide if I wanted to go exercise or not before going to bed or not. I can't sleep if I do exercise and I can't sleep if I don't because I feel guilty for not exercising so I went. Then I ate: English muffin slice cheddar cheese slice jack cheese Achieve One coffee quaker bar cottage cheese 1/2 cup slice garlic toast fruit2O water coffee with creamer - 2 cups fruit salad protein bagel and now it is after midnight again so I get to start all over yey.

ok, I've got to ask - how do you prepare the asparagus for an omelet? Is it fresh and cooked or frozen and cooked, chopped, minced, pureed, ???

I make this each Friday and it lasts a week, my family also enjoys the prepared vegies for their burritos, sandwiches etc.... Vegetable Medley 2 medium zucchini, cut into bite-size pieces 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces 1 pound fresh aspaparagus, cut into bite-size pieces 1 red onion, cut into bite-size pieces 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 tst black pepper 2 - 3 cloves crused garlic (optional) Heat the oven to 450, In a large roasting pan, combine the veges add the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to mix and coat, spread in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes, stiring occasionally, until veges are lightly brown and tender. I twick this recipe and add different veges to suit my needs (I only use asparagus if I find young and tender stalks, sometimes I will add mushrooms, eggplant, or just more zucchini and bell peppers), I use the veges as a side dish, in my omeletes. I eat about 1/8 to 1/4 cup serving so the calorie intake is much less. My family and friends love this side dish. Enjoy, Mary

Sounds good! Love roasted veggies. Never thought about adding them to an omelet, but I will try this, thanks!

Oh yummy, FAJITA! Today was just a weird day. I threw up lunch (chicken salad) at work today. How embarrassing! I mean I ran like hell to the bathroom and made it, but my boss was so worried, she followed me and wanted to help. I know she just felt bad for me, but it was kind of hard to talk at the moment and I just wanted to be left alone, ya know? She is a good boss and person, I'm lucky to have her!
