White chocolate Macadamia Nut Clif Bar

Shred It

by eatingbirdfood on March 16, 2009

Rise and Shine my lovelies. I have a feeling this week is going to be wonderful.

I’ll start where I left off yesterday. I woke up LATE and ate my oats LATE and then putzed around the casa. Reading blogs, posting on my own, looking up lots of stuff online. It was a miserable wet day so I was really tempted to just stay inside all day! Around 1:30PM I finally got my butt in gear, packed a bag for the gym and got ready to go. Then I realized that I should probably eat lunch or bring a snack with me shopping or I would end up buying something to eat while out.

I grabbed this little whipper snapper. The White Chocolate Macadamia Nut is my favorite Clif Bar now, and I don’t even like white chocolate . Go figure.

I was hungry, hence the bite taken out of the bar before the photo.

I don’t usually eat bars for meal replacement but since I had eaten a large breakfast this was perfect for lunch. I shopped around and didn’t find much of anything. I got a shirt for myself and a shirt for Isaac, went to the gym for Sunday Stretch (ahhh.. relaxing), did 10 minutes of cardio and dipped out. I just wasn’t feeling it so I headed to Target and rushed home because by this time I was pretty hungry.

Pretty much as soon as I walked in the house I fixed up this salad with the only salad ingredients I had on hand: tomoatoes and spring mix with sweet poppyseed dressing.

And heated up my left over Indian- Baigan Bhartha. I also had a little left over WW cous cous and 1 peice of WW naan.

It was just as good the second time around! After eating dinner I was still pretty hungry- I guess because I hadn’t really eaten that much all day and decided to have a bowl of Kashi go lean, then some cottage cheese.

Last by not least, while I was at Target I picked up Jillian Michaels 30-Day-Shred workout DVD. I had seen it on a couple blogs, most notably Maggie’s and thought I should give it a chance. I’m not a huge workout DVD fan, but sometimes it’s nice to have a workout I can do at home. So I started with level 1 for Day 1 last night and overall it was a good 20 minute workout. It wasn’t too challenging, but also wasn’t easy-peasy, and there are other levels to move up to so I am happy with the purchase. I couldn’t get my HRM to work so I don’t have the calculations for calories burned, but next time I do the video, hopefully it will work and I will post that info. for you guys. I’ll also keep you posted on how I like it, if it gets boring, and how the other levels are, etc..

Anyone else doing the 30-day Shred? Hows it going?

Bowl-A-Rama

by eatingbirdfood on February 24, 2009

Strawberries are back in season and I am loving it. They are quite possibly the best fruit eva. I had some sliced, along with half a banana in a serving of Kashi Go lean with USAM and 1/4 scoop of chocolate protein powder. This b-fast was delicious and more importantly had some staying power and kept me full all morning.

I came home for lunch to let my little love muffin out to go potty:

I fixed myself a nice little salad of spinach, broccoli slaw, tomatoes, and TJ’s goddess dressing. Along side the salad I had the leftover lemony shrimp and white beans with some added some broccoli.

For dessert I had a wasa cracker with Better N PB and a few raisins.

For dinner I had some spinach salad again with a great addition of tabbouleh that Isaac picked up from a Mediterranean deli.

I also made some baked tofu with veri teriyaki sauce.

I was feeling a little snacky before we went bowling so I ate some (about 3/4) of this lovely bar. I’m still loving this flav.

We went bowling because tonight was cheap bowling night. I am horrible at actual bowling, but I am GREAT at wii bowling so at least I have that going for me.

I want new dishes

January 27, 2009

I’m not sure why I’m just now realizing it, but I think I need some new dishes. We are still using the ones Isaac’s mom let him bring to college. I guess we just never really thought about it, but after taking tons of food photos, I’m thinking I really need some more photogenic plates. [...]
