Days 6 & 7 - Busy, Busy

I'll have to condense 2 days into this one entry. Yesterday I was just too busy to post. And I'm noticing the scale is starting to rise again...I'm definitely stressed out lately. I miss working out too... :(

DAY 6

BREAKFAST (8:30 am)

Berries with Milk and Peanut Butter Toast:

1 cup frozen Trader Joe's Very Berry Cherry Blend (cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries), thawed
1 slice whole grain bread, toasted
8 oz. organic skim milk
1 TBSP Justin's Chocolate Peanut Butter
Dash cloves for the berries

LUNCH (1:30 pm)

Cinch Caesar Salad:

2 cups torn romaine lettuce
1 serving whole grain crackers
1/4 cup fresh shredded parmesean cheese
1 TBSP olive oil
Dash balsamic vinegar

I had my daily dark chocolate right after lunch.

SNACK (4:30 pm)

Berry Smoothie with Hazelnuts:

1 cup frozen Trader Joe's Very Berry Cherry Blend (cherries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
8 oz. organic skim milk
2 TBSP hazelnuts (eaten on the side)
Dash cloves for the smoothie

DINNER (7:30 pm)

Turkey Mock Tacos:

Romaine lettuce leaves, 1/2 cup all natural salsa, 1/4 cup each chopped bell peppers, diced onion, and vegetable broth
1/4 cup frozen corn
3 oz Trader Joe's roasted and sliced turkey
1/4 of an avocado
1 TBSP cilantro and lime juice

And I also had a handful of whole grain tortilla chips since I cut the corn serving in half.


DAY 7

BREAKFAST (8:30 am)

Cranberry Cashew Parfait:

1/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal
6 oz. vanilla yogurt
2 TBSP chopped cashews
Dash cloves

LUNCH (1:30 pm)

Tomato, Basil, and Walnut salad with Great Northern Beans:

1 medium plum tomato, chopped
1/2 cup cooked wild rice
1/2 cup great northern beans
2 TBSP chopped walnuts
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp basil



No snack -- was too busy today.


DINNER (7:00 pm)

Garlicky Barley Vegetable Chicken Soup:

1/4 cup each chopped onion, zucchini, green beans, carrots, cauliflower and 1 cup canned Italian tomatoes, and 2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup cooked barley
3 oz cooked chicken
1 TBSP olive oil
Chopped garlic (A LOT!)

Although the barley took an hour to cook, this soup was delicious and well worth the wait!
