A Lazy Food Week

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!)
Tuesday:
Breakfast:  Frozen Sausage, Egg and Cheese on Biscuit.  1/3 of “The Usual”
Snacks/Lunch:  1.5 cups of grapes, 0.75 cups of carrots, several celery stalks, peanut butter chocolate chip larabar, 1 large honeycrips apple
Snacks at home: 1 serving potato chips, 2 servings “vegetable-flavored” crackers.
Food at Apt Halloween Party: ½ piece corn bread, 1 bag Pirate’s Booty smart puffs (60 cals)
Dinner:  1 off the bone rib meat w/bbq sauce
(Victory!  NO Halloween candy at the party, but I did win a $50 Lowes gift card!)
Wednesday:
Breakfast:  Frozen Sausage, Egg and Cheese on Biscuit.  1/3 of “The Usual”
Snacks/Lunch:  1 cup grapes, ½ cup carrots, several celery stalks, 1 tbsp peanut butter, ½ large honeycrisp apple, Peanut Butter Larabar, 1/2 cup of raw almonds (My apple was ½ bad…starving on the way home!)
Dinner: Jimmy John’s #16 Club Lulu (nom nom nom!)
Post run: 1 cup apple cider+ 2 cups water
Thursday:
Breakfast:  Starbucks’s Sausage, Egg and Cheese on English Muffin, 1/3 of…”The Usual” but they had ½ and ½ in their lowfat milk container
L
Lunch:  1 cup grapes, ½ cup carrots, several celery stalks, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 large honeycrisp apple,  1 chocolate cherry torte Larabar
Un-proper Dinner:  ½ avocado mixed with unknown amount of fresh, store bought salsa plus unknown amount of tortilla chips.  ¾ cup almonds, 2/5 72% dark chocolate bar w/blueberries
Friday:
Breakfast:  Starbucks’s Sausage, Egg and Cheese on English Muffin, 1/3 of…”The Usual” but they had ½ and ½ in their lowfat milk container

Lunch:  Food truck specializing in “Sliders”.  I got a gyro slider and a turkey burger slider.  Came w/chips.  Felt soooo gross after that.
Snack:  1 cup grapes, ½ cup carrots, several celery stalks
Pre-swim fuel:  3 gatorade chews

Post-swim:  Leftover carrots, celery and grapes (amount unknown)
Dinner:  Don Pablos' Shrimp Fajitas, some chips and dips.  Too much, too full, but still had leftovers.

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?


This was last Saturday.  Ramen + Spinach.

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 :)

  1. I gotta say your face looks skinnier :) all the workouts are paying off.

    I 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!!!

    1. Gatorade 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? :)
