Day 21 (August 26, 2012)

Breakfast: coconut, nutmeal, flax, faux cream of wheat with strawberry preserves mixed in, omg yummy

Lunch: 1lb of brocoli slaw that had red cabbage and carrot added to it, mixed with 1 avocado, apple cider vinegar, lucas spice, some gomasio, and chili paste

Dinner: a Matcha green tea Protein Frappe YUM! Oh so I wasnt really hungry after the huge lunch so and I had been dying for a matcha frappe so I figured I would kill two birds with one stone. 12 oz of vanilla unsweetened almond milk, 12 oz milk kefir, 1 scoop vanilla jay robb protien powder and 1 Tablespoon of Matcha, 8 cubes of ice and blended till creamy frothy and delicious!!!

 

Snack: I wasnt hungry hungry, I just had munchies and was wanting salty and crunchy so I made some awesome kale chips. Sprayed some kale with coconut oil spray and sprinkled on some nutritional yeast to give that cheesy flavor and baked in oven on low for about 20 minutes until crispy. Crispy, cheesy, munch-a-riffic, and HEALTHY!!! That definatly helped me over the craving hurdle tonight.

I just wanted to post a picture of my frequent used bowls to give you an estimate on how much I am literally stuffing my face. I am normally not starving i dont think ever lest i am going through cravings.

The inner bowl is the smallest holding only 3/4 cup or 6 oz, this is the one I normally will have ice cream or any dessert.

The next one up is 1 3/4 cup or 14 oz this is for what I consider a small meal or a side dish of something, possible breakfast like oatmeal or cereal of some sort or maybe scrambled eggs.
The next size up is my big bowl. This holds about 24 oz filled to the brim. I normally use this for soups, faux noodles with sauce, or sauteed veggies, back in the day this was my cereal bowl. I also will use this to hold watermelon.

The last bowl is my rediculous bowl. This monstor is 80oz, also known as a serving dish. I got several of these when staying at the RMD house from nothing but noodles when they were catering for a 28 families. I got to keep the bowls and use them for my salad. Seriously, 3 cups of salad is only like 20 calories if you are using the high quality salad like dark greens and not the nutrient absent iceberg lettice that is all water and thats about it. 20 calories? seriously I fill this bad boy to the top with my salads and that is my meal. I never come away from that hungry. This is the bowl I serve my raw greens in. That is about the only thing I will allow myself to eat in this bowl though because it is so big. Maybe the once in a blue moon serving of popcorn as well. But honestly I only have popcorn when I visit the inlaws. It converts to waaay to much sugar so I try to avoid it except for special treats. When you see a picture of a salad though ...yeah, it is in my 80 oz bowl or 8 cups of lettuce.

I am soo sorry I have not been keeping up with my blog so I tried to get caught up today and instead of making one insanely long entry from the 16th to the 26th, I decided to just post my entrys and back date. They are very very short though truely just what my meals were for the day.

I am very excited to see what my morning weigh in is. I dont feel like I have lost anything this week. I know I am not quite getting my water in each day. I am getting about 3 to 3 1/2 of my 32 oz cups in so not bad, but not a goal. This week is going to be a good one though. I look froward to Wednesdays playdate and the opening of a whole foods. It is indeed going to be a good week and all kinds of exciting girly stuff should be coming in the mail as well as some major baby fluff for my daughters butt. I am unsure if I am just going to post pictures, or if I am going to go ahead and just post a new video on Youtube. It is soo exciting so I am just holding my breath till it gets here, hope I dont pass out!

Thats it for today, wish me luck on the morning scale, I feel deserving of whatever it has too offer me. Nite all!
