Day 22! Would love to hear how everyone is doing...
Hilary are you there?? It would be great to hear from you!!
Matt and I just cleaned out our cupboards - we have a big bag of food that we are taking to the food bank (pasta, rice, popcorn etc all unopened) - we know that we never plan on eating it, so may as well free up some space in the kitchen!

Today has been a tough day for me. I'm still feeling the strain/disappointment of my limited selections at Dine Out Vancouver (Please see my recent post on Day 21). Also, we were up really really late at these birthday parites last night so I'm positive that my discouraged feelings are due in large part to being tired.
ReplyDelete1. salt spring mussels in a coconut green curry. Green salad with tomatoes. Decaf chai tea.
2. almonds, salmon lox, pear
3. pork chop, cauliflower, broccoli, chicken breast.
Thinking about it a little more, I think my meal timing and lack of sleep this weekend has put me a bit out of synch. I'm clearly tired, not drinking enough water and not getting enough protein to properly "fuel" me.
Jenny, that's awesome that you managed to clear out some cupboard space. Good for you guys! And what a great idea to put that food to good use (instead of just sitting unopened taking up space).
I went to a yoga class last night with Chris Chavez as the guest teacher (a pretty well-known yoga teacher). He was incredible and talked about power and energy and how we make choices on when and what we use them for. He spoke about how so much of his own energy gets wasted on being stressed or upset about things that aren't really that important. I thought this could also be applied to the food we eat. We choose what food we put in and our bodies use energy to deal with it. Good food = appropriate use of energy, bad food = waste of energy better spent elsewhere...
Sorry for the ramble, just thinking as I type :)
Meal 1: scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, spinach and tomatoes sautéed in clarified butter, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 banana, blueberries, black coffee, fish oil
ReplyDeleteMeal 2: peppers, onions, spinach sautéed with 2 eggs
Meal 3: salmon baked in coconut milk with ginger, garlic, coriander. Salad with beets pomegranate and almonds, steamed green beans
My meals are exactly the same as Matt today :)
ReplyDeleteKirsten - lack of sleep, not enough water etc can definitely add to the deprived, annoyed mood...i've been there. Just look forward to getting back into your routine - the good thing is that you didn't actually eat anything that will impact you negatively, so you will bounce back right away!!

Does this mean no popcorn ever again?? I do love me some popcorn!
DeleteWhat kind of turkey sausage do you buy? I need a little more protein in the morning!
ReplyDelete1 2 eggs and a banana coconut milk latte
2 turkey pepperoni from Whole foods YUM (but not enough food)
3 chicken breast with my moms home made tomato sauce cabbage salad, cauliflower, green beans 1/2 avocado.
I now need to figure out how to fit in more exercise!
Lory - we buy turkey sausage from the meat counter at Whole Foods :)
ReplyDeleteAlso we make turkey patties (you can buy ground turkey anywhere), or the flank steak in the morning is awesome!
