Day 5

Day 5:

Protein shake: scoop of protein, cup of milk, cup of fruit...blend...delicous.

2 slices of turkey bacon - I wrap them in a paper towel and cook them in the microwave for a min 30.

I did well at lunch. I ordered a turkey sandwich with a side salad. Yes it was hard sitting next to french fries but I powered through it.

Dinner we wanted to keep it simple so thats what we did. We put some seasoning on some steaks (no salt) and put them in a shallow pan and broiled them. I know who has doesnt have steaks on the grill, it was raining and again simple. Also to light Justins grill I feel like you need to have a permit or something, so many steps and the oven takes pushing a button...you decide. I had to opt out on the carb since I had the sandwich for lunch, so no baked potato for me. We steamed some frozen veggies (low sodium) and 15 minutes later we had dinner.

Day 6:

My first Saturday...my first day off. My routine was thrown waaaaaay out of whack. When I slept in till 830, yes thats my sleeping in, sad I know (sigh), I wasnt hungry at all. I just got up and went out the door. I realized at 1100 I had not had a thing to eat so I grabbed a protein bar and banked on the fact that lucnh was going to be a big one. And indeed it was, pita bread with turkey, ham, feta cheese, lettuce and mustard...it looked like one of those sandwiches when you are at the store and you see the clerk piling on the meat and you say to him light on the meat...yea one of those. Along with that I had my protein shake. A lot of handle in one setting but it was not bad. All I had left on my diet was 2 veggies and 2 proteins. I can see why they say a routine is good to have because having that lunch then realizing I still had 2 more servings of protein left was a lot to take in.

Side note: soy nuts with almonds and cranberries, delicious snack. We got this little combo at COSTCO and it was a nice grab...and all very good for you.

Dinner we had taco salad, well without doritos or taco seasning. Soooo I guess just dry chicken salad...hmm. Anywho, we used ground chicken and cooked that with a little chicken broth (low sodium), to give it some flavor since we didnt use the taco seasoning, cut up some veggies added some shredded cheese and there we go, dinner was served. Since we had a condiment left we used russian dressing...the best dressing for taco salad is western dressing but I grabbed the wrong one...as shocking as it sounds you should have heard my reaction to my first bite when I realized it was not western.

We were talking at dinner saying that we can have good food just need to have minor modifications (i.e. no doritos or taco seaoning) and with the right portions, its brought a little light on the mere fact that I have 83 days left...
