Ah today was filled with lots of great food and it was super easy to make. I am also happy to announce that prior to this project, I had been working out on and off, but since my last weigh in I have lost six lbs. That was great motivation.
This morning I had a Broccoli-Cheddar Omelet. While it tasted good, I would suggest less broccoli for anyone interested in making it. I also realized that in my last post my pictures didn't show up, for whatever reason. I'm going to fix that problem tomorrow.
For lunch, I had a VERY super delish Bean and Cheese Potato, which also came from Fitness Magazine:
Microwave 1 medium potato (this took about 5 minutes)
Top with 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1.5 cup diced cooked chicken
3 tbsp shredded low fat cheddar cheese
2 tbsp salsa
1 cup steamed broccoli
Dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt
For those who haven't discovered the joys of Greek yogurt, you need to try it. I'm not saying this because, as a true Greek, I am obsessed with all things "Greek." It's super creamy. Chobani is my favorite kind; the flavored raspberry is so delicious. I could literally eat it all day.
Anyway...
Since I worked out this morning (20 minutes on the stairs, and a circuit workout, which I can post if anyone is interested - you know considering I have tons of followers - thanks Justin :) ), and I wouldn't be home from work until seven o'clock today, I made myself a quick shake (also from Fitness).
1 cup skim milk
1/2 banana
3 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3 ice cubes
Blend it up, and you've got a shake (this was just OK)
Dinner was a pork roast that I got form Sam's Club, so I don't have the recipe. Sorry ya'll (said in my best impression of Ruby, or maybe Paula Dean - I'm not sure which one I'm imitating. It's like this weird southern identity crisis).
I also treated myself to ice cream tonight because it was free at Baskin Robbins - which I didn't actually end up going to because there was no parking and an out of control line. But the idea was in my head, friends in my car, and so we made out way to the Ice Cream Depot in Milltown. You've got to live a little!
The best part of this experiment is that I now totally freak my fiance out when I do impressions of Julia Child, but I think it's hilarious.
Oh and P.S. - quick cooking tip. I found it really useful to grill up about eight chicken breasts on the George Foreman Grill on Sunday (before the work week begins, and I find myself with little time). This way, I can save myself time when a recipe calls for grilled chicken!
363 Days to Go :) Keep on Truckin'
