Breakfast: 7am Blueberry oat custard: 1 cup almond/coconut milk, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 packet stevia, 2 small eggs, 1/2 tsp almond extract, 1 cup wild (frozen) blueberries and a dallop of fit and active whipped topping.
After I drop off kids at school, I get to exercise with my friend Pam and SIL Erica. (Update: We did Jillian’s 30 day shred, level 1. I haven’t converted them all over to FYM’s exercises yet, but am working on it :).)
I had trouble yesterday getting my updated dining room pictures to load from my phone. Trying again:
You can see the new blue and gray colors. Today I will sand and paint trim, chair rail, and crown molding. Then hire my BIL to hang it if he has time.
Snack: Greek Yogurt chocolate mousse with 1 cup fresh strawberries. 6 oz fat free plain Greek Yogurt, 1 packet stevia, 1 Tbs cocoa powder (stir until smooth) then fold in 1/4 cup fit and active whipped topping.
Lunch: Apple chicken tossed salad with zucchini chips. I tried the chips with a different recipe (lower temp 225 for longer time) and they never did get crisp, even after 1 1/2 hours. So I’m going to try again later at 350 and see what happens.
Snack: 1 cup plain lowfat yogurt (Mountain High brand from Costco) 1/4 cup protein plus brand peanut flour, and 1 Tbs stevia. Stirred until smooth. Topped with 1 chopped Gayla apple.
For dinner, we had cornbread topped cowboy casserole: 1 can of Aldi baked beans undrained, one can black beans, rinse and drained, 1 12 oz turkey keilbasa (fit and active brand from Aldi) halved and sliced. I stirred all this together and spread in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole. Actually, I just mixed it right in the dish. Then I mixed up a cornbread mix (from Aldi) according to package directions, spread over the top and baked at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. It was a hit.
I ate 1/12 of the dish which was 212 calories and 12 grams of protein. I also added 1 cup of mixed peas and carrots; and 1 cup of homemade unsweetened applesauce (Taken from my freezer from last year’s harvest.)
So far for the day I’m at 1,618 calories at 98 grams of protein. If I need a snack later, I will choose something High Protein since I’m a little low for the day for my muscle building goals. I’m playing my calorie levels by ear and so far around 1600 feels pretty good.
Yesterday was rough. I had been used to 2500 calories a day or so and I was hungry a lot yesterday. Today I never felt hungry and just ate when the clock said it was time.
I’m mixing up a batch of homemade bread right now since I’m too busy with children to go to the store and we need to pack lunches tomorrow. I’m trying a new recipe: http://realfoodliving.com/recipes/award-winning-bread-2-loaf None of her recipes have ever disappointed so I have high expectations :).
Real Food Living: Award Winning 100% whole wheat bread
Oops, I just licked my finger and the spoon after measuring the honey in the bread, old habits die hard. But to stay honest I have to write it down.
