Friday Meals

Breakfast 10:00 am (very naughty- I wasn't following my own advice here. I didn't eat anything before my morning workout. Your body needs fuel! Always, always eat breakfast as soon as you can after waking up- especially if you're going to workout- even if it's just something quick and light like a piece of toast or a yogurt)
1/2 c Greek yogurt
3 strawberries + 10 blueberries
2 Tbsp raw oats

Lunch 1:00 pm
1/2 Chicken Satay Wrap
2 c spinach salad w/mandarins, red pepper, almonds, poppy seed dressing
1/2 apple
crust of Ashley's pb sandwich

Afternoon 3:00 pm
handful Honey Nut Cheerios

Dinner 5:30 pm- took kids to ihop
Mushroom and Spinach omelette
1/2 of Ashley's pancake

Dessert 8:00 pm - game night at Jill's
2 Ranger cookies
handful of trail mix
handful of kids' popcorn

NOTES- If you're wondering why I've had so much Greek yogurt this week... my grocery store had it marked down and I grabbed a couple pints. That size normally costs $6.39 and they were marked to $0.99 due to expiration. So I don't usually have this much. It's nonfat and LOADED with protein and good probiotics, so there you have it.

Also, you can see from my food log that my weakness is treats. I love veggies, salads, and pretty healthy food. French fries, hamburgers, and cheesy stuff are not temptations for me. It's the sugary stuff that's hard. So that's what I need to work on. This is why a Food Journal can be such a great thing. It can help you to identify things that are inhibiting your progress. I also tend to finish my kids' food like fruit or peanut butter sandwiches (the mother's curse).
