Odd Eating Times

June 20

No time to make breakfast, but I did eat about 90% of a chocolate chunk Luna bar, before it made me feel kinda blah. Not my fave flavor, I guess.



Had less than half an hour (well, we spent about 40 min there, shh) for lunch, so hurried through the indian buffet..limited myself to one (big) plate & their cream of wheat dessert & it seemed to be the perfect amount.





In fact, I wasn't hungry for dinner, but ate anyway, oops.

-about half a bowl of my mom's leftover matzoh ball soup that I added greek seasoning too
-salad (organic spinach, a little broccoli, cauliflower, & carrots topped with balsamic)




While I cooked dinner for my Mom I also finished up the last 1/4 of the turkey sandwich from yesterday + the potato salad.

Long work day + had a chiro appt. My shoulder still KILLS, wah. Nothing special...just another Monday, but it went by fast at least.

June 21

-most of a small strawberry/frozen banana/spinach/vanilla protein powder smoothie/vanilla coconut milk
-coffee with splash of vanilla cream & stevia



-side salad topped with leftover steak
-blackberries




-leftover coffee with stevia
-clif mojo chocolate peanut bar



Work drama rama rama rama. SO ridiculous. Ugh.

Had a lil drinky and app to discuss the work happenings over.

-chivas on the rocks
-chicken fajita nachos shared 3 ways




The app made me hungrier than if I hadn't eaten.

-leftover sweet potato
-faux chicken patty topped with mushroom marinara



I overcooked the "chicken," but otherwise muy bueno. Weird combo, I know.

Workout:

-walked 1 hour on treadmill while watching the second half of the Voice!

June 22

-most of a small peach/vanilla protein powder/vanilla coconut milk smoothie
-chocolate vitamuffin topped with a lil organic pb (Maranatha!!!! my lover is back)
-black coffee with vanilla stevia



I had my acupuncture appointment at noon...my shoulder is really messed up & the cupping seemed to agree





Geesh! And that only shows the visible ones in that tank. I had 5 really deep colored ones. Good thing they don't hurt, but other people seem deeply disturbed to have to look at them, lol. Oops. I've been told I look like I was beaten up...both by humans or an octopus. Yeah, well...you know me!!! ;)

-small black bean burger which wich with basically....everything (lettuce, tomato, pepperocinis, jalepenos, mustard, ketchup, black pepper, bell peppers, etc)




Who knew Which Wich had so many options now? I just stuck with the old tried & true, but did contemplate the lettuce bowl. Yummy.

I'm kinda thinking a jalepeno obsession is forming now. They came on our nachos yesterday and I've actually never had them like that and they were awesome.

After work I ran into Target. I forget why, but I ended up with random stuff (duh, it's Target), including 2 hats:

A floppy beach one I have no idea where I'll wear, if ever (besides maybe on my vaca), but I've always wanted a ridiculous hat like this






& a straw fedora-ish type



This one I wore straight out the store since it matched. Still not sure if it looks OK, but I try.

Met my cousin & baby KK for dinner after work at Texas Roadhouse. I wanted pasta, but whatever.

Kendyll liked my hat, too :)





& of course we had to look at ourselves in the phone. It's a must.




Oh, yeah. The food.

-iced tea with vanilla stevia (I knew I should have stuck with water, but I really wanted iced tea and when the waitress asked if anyone wanted iced tea...c'mon!)
-2 rolls with cinnamon butter (oops, sooo good)
-side salad with ranch
-about 1/3 of the portobello mushroom chicken (no cheese)
-a few bites of a dry sweet potato (well, later I added a smidge of cinn butter)
-most of a small side of green beans






I'm a feaster face, so about an hour later I realized I was still hungry, so I made a protein shake to sip while I worked out

-chocolate protein powder, cocoa, vanilla coconut milk, half a banana, a few frozen strawberries, a little vanilla stevia

Couldn't finish the drink, but it was pretty good.

Workout:

-45 min treadmill while watching tv...

June 23

-most of a small frozen strawberry/banana smoothie with a little vanilla protein powder & spinach & the last of the vanilla coconut milk
-coffee with a tiny splash of organic half & half + vanilla stevia



-side salad (organic spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) with balsamic topped with my leftover portobello chicken from last nite all cut up



I tried to add a side of veggies from a nearby chinese restaurant, but they wouldn't sell me just a side. WEIRD. I guess my money's no good there....*sigh*

That got me in a chinese food mood, so for an early dinner my mom & I decided to use one of my "groupons" (actually from living social, but I call everything groupon now) for an asian fusion place.

But first I ate half of a chocolate covered coconut luna bar.



I THINK I FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE. So tasty!!! I loved it.

My back hurt...what else is new? But I wore my crazy sneaks to try to help out



Even though they're, ohhh....prob 10 years old. I've only worn them maybe twice. These are what I wanted out of my old Boston storage the most. I'm so random! They also felt about half a size too small, but ya know. Pink and neon green shoes. Who wouldn't want them? Haha.

For dinner, we tried out Chow Asian Street Food.

-a tiny bit of chicken tom yum soup (I meant to get tom kha, but mixed up the names, doh. and if that's not bad enough, I think I was allergic to something in this because every time I took I bite my throat felt like it was sort of closing up & I was coughing uncontrollably and my eyes were watering down my face....should have stuck to my first choice, miso. But that sounded too boring. HA. Better boring than death-causing!!!!)
-a couple bites of the crab & avocado spring roll
-ate most of the shrimp pad thai (medium spicy) bento box....also came with 4 pieces of a california roll (I ate 2..it was kinda gross...well more boring than gross, but not worth finishing), fruit (delish), side salad thing topped with onions, cilantro, and seaweed (ate all the seaweed, most of the lettuce), side of bean sprouts (random, but I ate it all with the pad thai), and a scoop of green tea ice cream (it was good, but not very green tea-y, but they had some other AMAZING sounding desserts, especially the taro tapioca...i LOVE taro, so I wouldn't order this if it didn't come with the meal...too bad they didn't have taro ice cream, mmmm...)






I would eat there again to try the curry or something different, but I thought this was just OK at best. But it had a lot of thai options and usually I'm the only big thai fan in my fam and my Mom really liked it, so that's good. Gives us options :).

At 9:30...

-the rest of the leftover sweet potato from last nite, this time with a smidge of peanut butter



I also ate half of the leftover roll, but it didn't taste as good, especially heated up, so I threw the rest away.

I also finished up a gingerberry Kombucha I found in the fridge.

Eating at odd times is messing me up!

Amanda

Weekdays

August 9

-leftover Kashi pizza
-organic raw spinach with homemade honey mustard & topped with a handful of blueberries and a few crushed glazed walnuts
-water



-3 mini gluten free oatmeal blueberry-raspberry muffins



-half of a chocolate peanut butter luna protein bar




-half of a bbq chicken wrap dipped in ranch
-a few chips & salsa
-part of a southwestern salad with grilled chicken
-water

My Dad & I went to the movie grill after work to see Inception. I couldn't decide what to order, so my Dad and I shared the above. Too much meat, ugh, but it was soo tasty. I've been feeling really lethargic lately, so I figured it couldn't hurt, though I wish I was more creative with non-meat ways to up the protein. I think I may be low on iron as well, but I guess that's for a blood test to determine. *shudder*

BTW, Inception. Eh. I don't get the hype. It was OK, but my Dad and I each fell asleep approx 4 times. Kind of ironic considering it was about dreams and all....

-all natural vanilla bean ice cream with a warmed mini gf berry muffin crumbled on top with lots of cinnamon

-mini gf berry muffin

-grilled chicken sandwich
-side of pasta
-side salad with balsamic
-chocolate cake ball (tasted more fudgy than cakey)
-apricot flavored iced tea





More meat. And it wasn't even that good. I used to LOVE this sandwich. Now, the bread and everything was still amazing, but I'd have preferred it without the chicken *gasp*

-hot tea



-mixed quinoa salads, a little hummus, a few almond thins, a red bean paste filled sesame ball, a few bites of massaged kale, a few sauteed mushrooms (aka random mix from whole foods bar)
-small cup of veggie soup
-55 cal watermelon popsicle






If you can't tell, I haven't really felt like cooking much lately. Too worn out.

-1/2 of a warmed chocolate vitamuffin with raspberries over 1/2 a cup of natural vanilla bean ice cream & cinnnnnamon
-water



Seriously SUCH a good dessert.

-1/2 of a pb & j on chia bread

Had a business meeting to rush to, but knew I needed something in my belly, so I made this as quickly as possible & ate it in the car.

-about 85% of a grande iced americano with soy
-1/2 veggie sub on wheat with cream cheese




Post-meeting, but pre-massage. Needed some caffeine for an energy boost + a light meal (don't want to feel weighed down during a massage!). The coffee hurt my stomach a liiiitttle, but was still tasty. I meant to get a latte, but accidentally said soy americano. Oh well, still good.

Had a glorious (but kind of painful) hour long massage. I think my muscles were extra tight this week, grr. Probably because I picked up on my Mom's stress.

-other half of the veggie sub

-2.5 skinny margaritas
-about 5 chips with a little salsa
-spinach enchiladas with a bunch of veggies and a red ranchero sauce on top




REALLY good enchiladas, but cost the same as all the other meals and didn't come with ANY side dishes. Kind of weird? Everyone else's came with them....?? (I technically ordered these off the menu, but they were listed on their online menu. Kinda weird...).

Took my aunt out for her birthday along w/ my other aunt, 2 cousins, and 1 cousin's baby. We all THOUGHT we had a great time, until my aunt (not the bday girl, the other one) decided to wreak havoc and start a huge text & phone war immediately after hugging us goodbye and telling us how much she loved us and had a great nite. BIZARRE. (But typical, considering the person...). OH what a nite. *eye roll*

-omega oats with pb & cinnamon
-citrus tazo hot tea




I tried to make oats in a jar for the first time, but I accidentally left a tiny bit of the pb wrap at the top of the lid on...made with metal. Yeah, I caught the jar on fire a little bit. Rock on. Needless to say, the oats and pb were directly transferred to a mug. Not exactly what I was going for, but still tasty as ever.

-skim latte (no soy milk, boo. my first dairy latte since march)
-half of a mediterranean veggie sandwich on tomato basil bread
-half of a greek salad
-strawberry scone (took all day to eat, kept picking at it)


took off the onions

Can't find any pics of the scone or sandwich. Hmmm. *shrug*

I mean..amazing. Panera is pretty hit or miss with me, but lately they've been hitting it out of the ball park. I was eyeing the scone when I walked in, but never would have ordered it...EXCEPT, when I ordered the latte the cashier said with any espresso bar purchase you get to pick out a pastry for only 99 cents. ANY pastry at all. How could I turn that down? Especially after already going in and noticing the scone. It was a sign, duh. And BOY was it worth it. SO freaking good. I figured it'd be at least 600 calories minimum, but it turned out to be 420. Not great, of course, but it was pretty huge. And did I mention delicious??

-small pear
-water



-small apple (saved from Panera lunch)
-water



-soba noodles with chopped organic cherry tomatoes, organic spinach, portabella mushrooms, olive oil, a drizzle of truffle infused oil, splash of white wine, sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese, & fresh basil
-water



-the last of the coffee ice cream with half of a warmed vitamuffin, a few white chocolate chips, & a small handful of blueberries
