Breaking Ice on a Golf Course

Today I went snow-shoeing with my parents. It was a lot of fun and great exercise!

To back up, last night my mom made lobster for everyone but I just wasn’t in the mood and asked her if I could have something different. I was really hungry before dinner so snacked on a few pieces of tofu and part of an Asian Pear.

while my Dad cooked the lobsters! EEEK!

My dinner was a modge podge of some leftovers that we are stillll getting rid of. Spaghetti squash with yogurt butter and parmesan, more baked tofu, sweet potato and green beans. Very well rounded and colorful!

This morning we woke up and took my sister to the train station to go back to D.C. for school. Afterwards, at around 9:30, my mom and I went to her favorite diner for breakfast to get her favorite pancakes. They are whole wheat harvest nut pancakes and are soooo good. I get bored pretty quickly with pancakes so I ordered poached eggs on whole wheat toast with fruit and a single pancake on the side. I only ate about 1/3 of the pancake and took the rest home for leftovers. It was all really delicious and totally hit the spot. I think this was a good example of me really thinking about what my body wanted and ordering accordingly.

I love the yolks

I got in 50 minutes of exercise through snow-shoeing. Not quite the 60 minutes I am going for but I still felt really good about it. After coming home and taking a nice hot shower, I made a big salad for lunch. In it went: lettuce, mushrooms, red and yellow pepper, a mini container of low-fat cottage cheese, a handful of chickpeas, a handful of carrots and about 10 green crunch grapes. On the side I had two crackers with mustard and 2% cheddar cheese.

About half way through, I added some Honey Mustard dressing because I thought the salad needed a little bit more flavor.

I got a lot of things done this afternoon and am now getting ready to cook dinner. I’ll post later tonight!
