Today has been awful. Baby T--who is really not a baby anymore, he's a boy, bit through his lip this morning and we spent an hour and a half on the phone and in a waiting room only to be told that there's nothing anyone can do.
He's been sore and cranky ever since, not that I blame him, and it's been everything both D and I could do to not emotionally eat. I really, REALLY want brownies or something. REALLY.
So instead, I've just avoided eating at all. Bad idea.
Breakfast: Mexican Eggs (recipe follows)
Workout: 45 minutes and 7 miles on the bike. My legs are dying still. I think I should probably take a day off after working myself to the limits of my strength....
Snack: Nothing, though it was supposed to be plain Greek Yogurt with 1/2 tbsp peanut butter, sugar substitute, and a dash of almond extract.
Lunch: 1 romaine leaf, 2 slices deli 'rotisserie' chicken, 2 slices tomato, 1 tsp mustard, 2 tsp light mayo. Oh, and the yogurt.
Snack: Nothing. My adrenaline from worry and anger at the pediatrician was still preventing me from being hungry at this point, hours later.
Dinner: Pan fried pollock in skinnytaste's quick marinara sauce with SBD cheesy baked artichokes (using almonds instead of pecans)
Verdict: I know I need to eat quite a bit more today. I know I'll be hungry later. Oh well. I'll eat later. Let's see, the pollock was great with the marinara, and went perfectly with the artichokes. The artichokes were tasty, though I think that they'd be even better with a creamier cheese instead of Parmesan, though I know why Parmesan is used. Way better for you. I think that recipe is a keeper, and you should google South Beach Diet Phase 1 Cheese Artichokes.
Mexican Eggs--By Natalee
4 eggs
3 egg whites
1 bell pepper, chopped up
1/4 c reduced fat cheese, any flavor, though we used Mexican Blend by Kroger
Scramble everything together and top with a little salsa. Serves 2-3 people.
AFTER THOUGHT: Our neighbors brought over what looked to be Chinese noodles with beef and leeks? I don't know, but it was spicy and tasty. I'm sure high in carbs because D told me they were probably rice noodles, but oh well.
However, I'm already kind of sick to my stomach and I only had maybe 3/4 c of the stuff. I think I'm going to be paying for this treat over the course of the night...Best guess is another 300 calories for MyFitnessPal. Oh well, if I get sick all night I probably won't gain any weight from it, right? I'll skip dessert tomorrow.
