I’ve been having a bout of ‘bottomless pouch’ days lately. My weight’s been bouncing up and down a few pounds every couple days cause of it. So I figured I would document my food today in an attempt to keep Joe happy and myself in line.
Breakfast was oatmeal. Big surprise. I know a lot of people would balk at the carbs, but it really does keep me going through the morning. My snacking issues happen later in the day. This morning was PB&J oatmeal. I recently got some peanutbutter powder (I’ll be doing a writeup on it soon, promise), mixed a serving (equal to 2T actual peanutbutter) and my usual 1T ground flax seed and 1T protein powder. Then after cooking topped it with a dollop of SF blackberry jelly.
I ate “out” for lunch. Weather has been great this week, lil breezy, but was bout 70 when I went down the road to a local park. Tuna salad with spinach leaves that I made sort of mini-wraps with, some fresh strawberries and spicy, baby dills. The tuna had radish and celery with a dressing made of yogurt, mayo and ranch dressing mix.
Had a piece of string cheese for an afternoon snack at work. Sorry, no pic. I figure you know what string cheese looks like. If not, Google it. Later, before going for my bike ride I had a handful of cashews and a few pecans to tide me over.
After the bike ride, I used some left over taco meat, some soy/flax chips from Trader Joe’s , cheese and some pico de gallo I made to cook up some nachos for dinner.
I had a lil bit more than what’s shown here, using up the last of the meat I had and I think I’m actually nice full. If I end up hungry enough for a snack later (and I’m really hoping to avoid doing so), I may just make a protein shake with some of the fresh strawberries I have on hand.
Well, damn McNee — how in the HELL are you not TAKEN? I’ll be honest…I have a married woman crush on you. Or maybe my pouch just wants to date you. I’m not sure. All I know is, you are freakin’ KEEPER and your ex girlfriends must be kicking themselves every time they see you (and your picnic) in the park. Keep it coming. It’s like bariatric food porn for me. Hubba hubba.
hmm.. if I knew the answer to that, I probably would be. And I may be doing this more often, I think it did help me keep on plan today.
I’m with Cari on the food porn sentiment and the Hubba Hubba too. I’d better stop before I cross into creepy. [I will say though...you dear - are amazing]
Lately I’ve been stuck on the what to eat and bottomless pouch state of mind. Posts like this give me ideas of what I want to put in her. Maybe I need to name her. Hmm. Anyway, pleased to meet you Joe.
