I wanted to cook last weekend. I really did. But Saturday I was tired for no reason and Sunday after watching kiddos at church for 5 hours left me with a bad headache. Therefore that meant zero motivation. I don’t even like to cook meat anyway. I went to the grocery and was on a mission to buy 2 fruits and 2 vegetables. I got 2 honeycrisp apples and a big bag of grapes. I also got carrots and celery. I grabbed a jar of peanut butter to go along w/the celery too. I grabbed 2 cheapo frozen meals for some lunches during the week. Here’s what my week looked like from a food point of view:
Monday:
Breakfast: Starbucks’s Sausage, Egg and Cheese on English Muffin, 1/3 of “The Usual” (grande Pike Place w/2 pumps carmel, 2 raw sugars, non-fat milk)
Snacks/Lunch: 1.5 cups of grapes, 0.5 cup of carrots, several celery stalks, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 honeycrisp apple, 1 chocolate cherry torte Larabar, 1 frozen meal..I think 4 cheese manicotti
Dinner: 1 scoop of cottage cheese, 1 chicken breast, 1 scoop shells and cheese, the rest of the peas (aka unmeasured and all stirred up together!)

Hopefully I will cook this weekend. I have a lot planned so hopefully I can fit it all in! First up is some sleep and bright at early tomorrow morning I have my 8am Pilates class! I mean, I hope so, they couldn't give me a definite answer when I asked if enough people were signed up today!
Did anyone have any good eats this week?
Any good eats that are easy to make?

| Lunch one day |
 |
| Mmmm my treat - Larabar! |

| Ugh, my apple was perfect from the outside, but rotten on the inside! And no I didn't see it before I bit in! |
 |
| Almonds. |
 |
| Delicious apple cider! |
 |
| Um, yeah. They had 1/2 & 1/2 in the non-fat milk container. Tasted so thick now that's I'm not used to it. |
 |
| My Slider Lunch. It was just "Eh" |
 |
| Energy chews, had 3 pre-workout for 50 cals. |
 |
| I was feeling cute today. Sunshine always does that :) |
I gotta say your face looks skinnier :) all the workouts are paying off.
ReplyDeleteI made a lot of mixed veggiez this week to have with grilled tilapia/salmon. Both super easy and pretty fast. I also made a fruit salad for the week with cantaloupe, avocado, watermelon and grapes and snacked on that all week.
All the best with cooking this weekend!!!
Thanks! Yeah I cooked some really good soup. And then I was sad that it was gone. But not enough to make more :)
DeleteCute picture!!! I love cute days hehe! Those gateorade chews sound cool, where do you get them? Great meal tracking for the week, that is key!!
ReplyDeleteGatorade chews were at my local grocery - Kroger. There is a section near the sports drinks that has energy chews, powders, protein mixes, etc. I think they are $1 or $2. I bought my first one w/a coupon and liked them. I don't know if they make a difference, but what if they do? :)
