Today I worked more on the policy analysis paper. I will be so happy when tomorrow comes so that I can finally just turn it in and get it off my hands and out of my mind!
Today's Agenda:
No workout
(Well unless you wanna count pacing back and forth whilst thinking about that darn paper...)
Breakfast:
180 g bulk red radishes and about 90 g of peeled turnips, boiled in no-sodium chicken broth
60 g of egg beaters and 2 real egg whites cooked as a spinach omelet
THIS biscuit. Tastes just like the cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster that I haven't had in years
All smothered in low carb ketchup and Walden Farms pancake syrup
Lunch:
Chicken parmigiana
55 g left over shredded chicken breast (not the canned kind)
1 oz no salt added tomato sauce
7 g of Swiss cheese (I had no Mozzarella, unfortunately. But I was happy to find out that Swiss is low sodium)
about a 1/2 tsp of grated parmesan....
all on top and in between a ONE MINUTE MUFFIN sans sweetener that I formed into a bun. It was really a twenty minute muffin, because I used the oven instead of the microwave. I used 13 g of golden flaxseed meal and 13 g of Jennifer's Splendid Low-Carb Baking mix, a serving of egg beaters instead of an egg, and a tsp of Smart Balance Light instead of butter. Hey, be easy on me. I'm still recovering!
Cream of Broccoli Soup
About a cup and a half (I didn't bother to measure) of leftover steamed broccoli, pulsed in the Ninja
About a TBSP of onions (again I didn't bother to measure)
1/2 C of Unsweetened Original Almond Breeze
1/2 C of no-sodium chicken broth
Some seasonings (I think I did basil, onion powder, all spice, summa this summa that lol)
The rest of the meals were exact duplicates of yesterday:
Snack:
PB and J on a low carb tortilla
Dinner/Dessert:
My version of Crack Slaw
Hot chocolate
Bedtime Snack:
Yogurt and usual fixings
Another piece of that yummy cinnamon-raisin bread
So, after watching Food Inc. and discussing it with my mother, I told her that I was thinking about trying a more primal diet. Trying to sound "intelligent", I suggested I was going to indulge in more paleo-friendly food choices. Unfortunately, I pronounced it "Pah-lay-oh" (forgive me for having two years of Spanish!) and she quickly corrected me and said it was pronounced "Pay-leo". Oops. Who am I to encourage a diet that I can't even pronounce the name of? Lol. I'll just stick to recovering and having a better relationship with food. Going paleo right now probably wouldn't be a great idea. I'm already restricting carbs as is. Hmmm. Food for thought, I guess.
