Yesterday, I stayed away from the refreshments. There was a ton of food, and I didn't have time to eat the flatbread I had hoped before I left (that I posted about yesterday). I was hungry, but eating healthy has this amazing power. I've been eating healthy and exercising, I no longer see a point in splurging. It felt "not worth it" (I hope everyone enjoys my grammar there). So here is my first EDIT!!
Dinner for yesterday was Linguini with Clams, and before you all cringe at it's unhealthy carb attributes check this out: Sauce 2 minced garlic cloves in 1 tbsp olive oil (I really love olive oil Spray, it just feels more controlled. I'm sure we've all had the accidentally pouring too much OO experience. This allows for a thin layer and therefore less fat). Strain and reserve half the liquid from a small can of clams. Add half the clams to the pan, and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add 2 chopped and seeded tomatoes, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (I would say this is optional, but the recipe has it as a listed ingredient), 1/2 cup dry white wine and reserve clam juice. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes Add I cup cooked whole wheat linguini and 1 cup spinach!
Whole wheat linguini is great because it has more fiber than it's white pasta friend. As Rocco Dispirito says, "with more fiber comes a slower release of the carbohydrates into the bloodstream and, long story short, less weigh gain" (p. xxi, Now Eat This!). A quick tip on whole wheat pastas - over cook the pasta until it's tender (not the al dente we've come to love with white pasta) and it's texture is similar to white pasta.
Today's breakfast was one of the banana muffins (I like to make a ton, and freeze them for later) and a glass of skim milk.
Since it's so beautiful out, I went to Stewart's for lunch - I resisted gyros, fat cats, and root beer. For lunch I had a turkey burger with a small side of chili and water.
Dinner was field greens, tomatoes, humus, and lamb.
For a snack - and I'm obsessed with this!! It's unbelievable!! fakeout banana ice cream
Thank you Rachael Ray. I can now enjoy ice cream!!
Still doing and never feeling hungry! I love this!
