Getting through the leftovers!

I hope everyone had a great Monday! It is always so hard to come back after time off, but I think I was relaxed enough that I was able to get through it well!

Steve and I were running too late for me to get breakfast at the house so I had a large skim latte in the car. Sorry for the horrible picture! I took this in the parking garage right as I was getting out and going to throw the cup away.

With my latte I had a Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar, that was amazing!! I don't remember having this flavor, but I am going to buy it again!

I did 30 minutes of cardio at the gym during lunch and came back to leftovers. I think I have had enough Tofuky for a while, but I still have half of a roast left! I was the only one eating it! With the loaf was some veggies that we roasted with it, stuffing and mashed potatoes. I may have to eat this again today, only because I don't want to be wasteful.

Around 4pm I had a Jonagold apple.

Dinner included the products below. I love love love these Gardenburgers! The Trader Joe's Bruschetta is amazing too. We buy several jars when we get to Trader Joe's. I reviewed the Cranberry Fig Hummus a few days ago, and the english muffins I always rave about.

I put the hummus on one side of the muffin and I cooked the Bruschetta on the Gardenburger for the last 30 seconds of cooking. I loved all the flavors! I also had a carrot and some broken pretzel pieces.

I was still very hungry after dinner, so I had a z-bar and a Smart Ones dessert.

Well I am running late again! Have a wonderful and happy Tuesday:)

Kashi how I love you:)

This morning I decided on apple oatmeal. I used one apple that I bought at a nearby farm. It is a Rambo apple which is now in season. By fall this farm has 15 different types of apples that they grow in their Orchard. I peeled and cored the apple and sprinkled it with cinnamon. I do this the night before, because I eat breakfast a work. I microwaved it for 3 minutes because I like it really soft in my oats. I then cooked 1/2 cup of oats in the microwave with water. I mixed the cooked oats and cooked apples and topped it with vanilla yogurt and some crunchy things that came with my yogurt.

This was so good. Thinking about it makes me want this for breakfast tomorrow, but I already packed something else.



Around 11am I was so tired at my desk, I blame it on the Olympics! So I went to Starbucks for a Skinny Carmel Latte. This perked me up. I was good to go hungerwise based on the skim milk in the Latte, but I had some grapes because I was planning a late lunch and a 1pm trip to the gym.




At the gym I did 30 minutes on the stair climber. My heart rate monitor said that I burned 300 calories. My heart rate was at 160 bpm almost the whole time, which is intense for me. When I got back at 2pm I was ready for lunch. I was soooo excited because I packed a new Kashi product that I picked up on Monday. It is a frozen pocket bread sandwich, the bread was so good. I had mine in the fridge all day instead of the freezer, so I think mine was softer than if kept in the freezer until microwaving. The flavor of it was great. It states on the box that it is Vegan.

This is just a very small paper plate, so don't think this is a huge pocket, but it is very filling.

I also had a salad on the side. It was romaine lettuce, green beans, and mushrooms, with a little Kraft Light Done Right Balsamic salad dressing.

My lunch filled me up well, until around 6pm and I was suddenly starved. I should have packed an afternoon snack for sure!

For dinner I had a Garden Burger brand patty the Chik’n Grill one. I love this patty so much! I ate it on a whole wheat english muffin with some mustard and tomato. I had the rest of the tomato on the side, with some Kashi crackers and cubed soy cheese. I had more crackers than showed on this plate, because I was eating them as my muffin toasted. I ate too fast to really enjoy this (need to work on this). I am ALWAYS rushing and feel like I don't have time to eat my food slowly and really enjoy it.

After dinner I was still hungry, because I let myself get too hungry and then ate too fast. I had a pack of Quaker Mini Delights and some Silk Light Chocolate Soy Milk (love this).

I should do a side by side taste taste of 8th Continent vs Silk light chocolate soy milk sometime. Which do you prefer?

I baked my husband Dark Chocolate Banana Brownies, I didn't try one yet, but I may post about those tomorrow. It is 11pm and I need to get ready for bed, so until tomorrow....
