NYC

Goood morning. Today I woke up at 8:00 and started by day with a big bowl of cereal. In it went:

• 1/2 c Puffins
• 1/2 c Shredded Spoonfuls
• 1/4 c Kashi Heart to Heart
• 1/4 c Total
• Lotsa berries: blueberries, strawberries and a few blackberries
• Light silk plain soy milk

And now I am off to NYC to meet with my nutritionist for the first time! Her name is Cora. I decided that if I really want to get into shape, although I think I know how to eat right, I still want to meet with Cora to figure out how to balance nutrition/fitness/life in a way that will work for me. I am really excited about this and will update later!

A Productive Day

This morning I woke up around 9:00 (!!!) not really craving oatmeal, but instead wanting eggs. I made two over-easy eggs and put them on two slices of 6-grain toast and sprinkled about an ounce of shredded 2% cheddar cheese on top, along with some S&P. This was one of the best breakfasts I have ever made. It TOTALLY hit the spot for some reason!! I had it with water and a side of strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.

After breakfast, I did decide to have a little bit of coffee because I felt like I was dragging a little bit. I put 1.5 splenda in (which I really don’t like using but I have occasionally) and soy milk creamer. My sis goes to GW by the way!

Because of my later breakfast and the fact that I was getting so much done, I didn’t eat until about 2pm. I had leftover butternut squash with homemade pasta sauce (I tried to just get the sauce and veggies) with parmesan cheese, baked tofu on the side, and some sauteed mushrooms. I just put these guys in a pan with olive oil, salt and pepper. Yum.

I wanted some crunch AND something sweet so decided to make myself a little snack/dessert plate. I cut up another Asian Pear, drizzled it with some honey, and in the center put 1 square of Trader Joes Dark Chocolate and about 8 of Annie’s Graham Bunnies.

By dinner at 7, I was starving but also had a little bit of a stomach ache for some reason I decided soup would be a good idea so had more lentil soup which has pasta and a little chicken in it. Along with brown rice with chick peas on top, MORE tofu, and a few chips with guac/salsa. Can you tell we have way too much food in our house and are trying to get rid of leftovers?

And my stomach still hurt after eating so I just went for some fruit as dessert. Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and cantaloupe.

  

My stomach ache is finallllly gone! After today, I feel very accomplished. I got so much done and ate a well rounded healthy set of meals!
