crash and burn

This is going to be a dinner, breakfast, workout post all rolled into one.
As you may remember I was STARVING yesterday afternoon. I got home, and didnt' know what to make for dinner..but settled on biscuits and eggs. I found this biscuit recipe on www.everybodylikessandwiches.blogspot.com. Very, very good and buttery. I might type the recipe into www.nutritiondata.com to see what the nutrition info is. Anyway...I made these and my husband made over medium eggs..and we turned them into sandwhiches. after two...I was finally full....probably due to high caloric content and protein in the eggs. Either way...it was delicious. Not a plan for everynight...but last night it hit the spot.
Here are few of the bisquits....one will make an appearance at lunch!

Ok, trying out new breakfasts, and this one, while good DID NOT WORK. One Thomas' whole wheat english muffin (which are by far the best i've tasted) some cottage cheese (2%) and an orange. I ate this at 7:45 and I was hungry by 8:45. Not enough calories or volume. The muffin is only 150 calories, 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese is 100 cal. and I'm not sure what the orange is...I don't think I have a full 1/2 a cup on there. I brought a container to eat througout the day, and I know it had just over 1/2 a cup. So....it looks like if I'm going ot have these..then I def. need some peanutbutter to amp it up!

Pre-workout toast and my lunch tupperwares in the background. Today I had just jam on the bread, as I couldn't find the pb and I was in a hurry.

Today for my workout I did 20 mins on the stat bike and 30 minutes doing free weights. I used the routine from Body By Glamour..month one. It really works me. I used to only do the weights routine...but now I enjoy 20 mins. of cardio before hand.

I've been thinking that I want to try the Couch-to-5k running program again. I started it when I got back into the gym...and it gave me some pretty bad shin splints. I wonder if it would be easier now that I am in better shape and 24 pounds lighter.

what to do about weekends....

These little Kashi bars are what I've been putting in my plain yogurt this week. There are two bars in a pack. I ate one bar about an hour after my lunch, and the second bar about an hour after that, with a cup of English Breakfast tea in between.

I just got glasses for the computer...they are super cute, but the case? It looks like a giant pepto-bismol pill. Ick!



I think I will have a LARABAR on the way home, or if I cand hold out, I will snack on some veggies during my dinner prep. I didn't plan to well for today at all. Next monday on my lunch break, I will be going to the store for sure, to stock up on plain yogurts, they held me so well and gave me extra protein. I know that is what I am missing today. boo.

Tonight we are having whole wheat pasta with home made spaghetti sauce. I might throw a little ground beef in there for some protein.

After that we are heading out to our new favorite friday night spot; Market Limone. Tonight they are having a microbrew tasting. I think I'm going to stick with wine. It's six dollars a glass, for ANY kind...doesn't matter how much the bottle costs! That should be fun, hopefully I remember the camera!

So, about weekends...I think I'm going to do a weekend wrap up...similar to what Cristin does on her Eatlikeme blog. I spend so much time infront of the computer during the week, that I just can't bring my self to spend too much time infront of it on weekends. Well, except to check facebook of course! :)

Snacks and Lunch

Well, I got hungry around 10:00am, and ate these Comice Pear slices. Not a very good set up of the picture. Next time I won't take it on top of the microwave in the work breakroom!
I got hungry again at like 11, and started snacking on my lunch veggies. I've noticed that on days after a cardio workout..i'm much hungrier. (uh..duh). I think I'll need to amp up the protein in breakfast to prevent days like today..

Lunch, in the car again. AND a sandwich again...We didnt' have any leftovers to pack last night.
2 slices bread lovers whole grain, 2.5 oz turkey breas, and about 5 cucumber slices from my veggie container.

I didn't take a picture of the container full..but here it is before I ate my last two cucumber slices!

Ok..I'm still hungry. I'm out of good snacks like plain yogurt. I do have a LARABAR and a kashi bar.

I might make some tea with a little milk...and then have the LARABAR about 2pm.
