6 Week - Day 13

My Food:

Breakfast: Chocolate smoothie (almond milk, frozen kale-berry-cherry mix, ground flax, cocoa powder) full blender

Lunch: romaine head topped with carrots, cauliflower, roasted chickpeas, diced green apple, and stone ground mustard, apple slices with peanut butter

Dinner: Ranch beans, mushrooms with broccoli, applesauce cornbread (recipe on my recipe tab), frozen mixed fruit for dessert

Exercise: Walk downtown for karate tonight

My thoughts:

So, I started the day with something different for breakfast. I slept in late and it was pouring rain so going to out to pick kale (or, rather, coercing a child to do it) wasn't what I wanted to do. That meant I was going in for smoothies. I made up one blender for the children with orange juice, frozen fruit and kale mix and walnuts.  I made another for myself using the ingredients above. I knew it had to be chocolate. Yesterday was national chocolate day and I did NOTHING to celebrate. The nerve! So, today started right with two big mason jars of chocolate nutrition. :)

 

Dinner I followed the menu plan, dressed up some pintos that were in the fridge for Ranch Beans, sautéed some mushrooms with onion and garlic powder and then added in a couple of bags of frozen broccoli.  We had cornbread in the freezer to go with it. 

 

I packed our dinner again tonight so David and I could eat together while the boys did their karate workout downtown.  I'm really liking this new thing. Way better than ordering take-out from the places downtown since there's nothing there I could eat that wouldn't be off plan for me.

 

We came home tonight and my oldest had made chocolate date balls WITH PEANUT BUTTER!! I was already hunkering for date balls and then had to resist THAT. But, I did it. I quickly grabbed my cup of tea and scooted to my room for the evening.  Tomorrow is weigh-in day and completes my second week. I don't want to lose my reward. :)

 

Looking Ahead:

 

Tomorrow I'll get groceries and work on my kitchen work. I'm hoping to get at least half of it done tomorrow so I can take my two oldest girlies out for a day of shopping or some kind of fun on Saturday. I'm ready for a break from the kitchen.
