Going Down!

Woohoo!! Instead of going up my weight is slowly going down again!  I'm sure it was all that hard work I did this weekend so maybe it was the jump start I needed.

Breakfast: Oatmeal

Bike Ride to run errands

Unpacking and moving boxes around as we're getting new windows installed in the dining room and bedrooms

Lunch: Leftover stir fry from last nights Supper 3 wraps.  not the smartest choice but I could eat while unpacking

Supper:  Maybe some rice and more stir fried veggies as I'm feeling unimaginative at 6:20 am   leftover stirfry

Snack: A few Peek Freens "Healthy" Lime Coconut cookies

Lots and Lots of water too as its going to be a super warm day

Two More Days!!

Well we actually start our move tomorrow but will wrap it up on Saturday with the heavy stuff. My goal is to get all or most of the boxes and little stuff moved over tomorrow. 

I think one of the reasons I'm most excited about the move is that we'll have access to a swimming pool and fitness room.  I do not tolerate high heat well so it will be nice when its super hot to have somewhere indoors that I can work out. 

Yesterday was a ok day eating wise

Breakfast: Usual Oatmeal with accompaniments

Mid-Morning Snack: date bar (ok that wasn't healthy)

Lunch; Vegggie Curry Pie (Delish!)

Late Snack: Some Pineapple and a AB & J Sammie

Supper: Fish Sandwich and some fries

I can't wait to get this move over with so I can restock the kitchen with more healthy fare. I know my menu looks dismal but I'm trying to eat out our pantry so there isn't so much to move over. 

Today's Menu

Breakfast: Oatmeal

Lunch: Tuna Sandwich and Tomato Soup

Snack: Banana

Supper?? TBA

Biking!

We actually biked today and I am so happy we did.  We did our ride in two parts as I had some slightly evil plans for the other leg our trip.

1st to Planet Organic to pick up some Nutritional yeast, Earth Balance and Organic Brown Rice. I wanted to grab some Vegenaise but couldn't find any and I also forgot to grab a couple other things but I guess that can be another trip later this week.



The second part of our trip involved trying to get our kitty, Willow, used to being on a bike for trips to the vet or outings etc....



She rode in her carrier slung on my back messenger style and did survive though there was quite a fur shed from her fidgeting around. She was also quite non vocal which was a happy surprise. Nothing like a crying cat on your back on a bike to get the pedestrians looking at you funny.

Breakfast was good: Oatmeal
Lunch was two slices of cheese toast with WW bread
Dinner will be leftover mushroom gravy on the Brown Rice I bought today Yummy!!

Supper Recap

So tonight I had my almost vegan supper and overall it was really good.
I wasn't too fussy about the Gardein Chik'n fillets however it may have been because I hadn't prepared them correctly. i just slipped them in the Mushroom gravy and simmered them until the were heated through. Maybe if I get them next I'll pan fry them a bit first to brown them up.

The picture isn't the best and you have to imagine that I had some kind of green vegetable on the plate too



It tastes a lot better than it probably looks




The real winner of supper was the Vegan Mushroom gravy.  It did call for nutritional yeast which I didn't have but even without it it was super yummy. I'll try it next time with rice and some vegetables on the side for a complete meal.

 I'm happy and full now

Tomorrow WW English Muffins with the Crofters Superfruit Spread:) Can't wait!

My Friday

Today was my Friday so Yea!! Three day weekend! I really need it too.

Right now its icky outside in downtown Edmonton. High Winds and flurries = Sideway snow. This may screw up my plans for a walk or bike ride tomorrow.

Todays Meals:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with Olive Oil Margarine and honey

Lunch: 3 and a half mini vegetable quiche

Snack: Banana

Supper: Ummmmmmm Yea not saying but in my defense I'm still trying to eat down the pantry before we move.


Tomorrow I have some errands to run including a run to Planet Organic for more Greek Yogurt, nutrional yeast and veggie stock. I'm making vegan Mushroom gravy with Mashed Potatoes and some Veggie Chik'n filets from Gardein I think after we move and starting May 1st I may do a 30 days of Vegan/Vegetarian eating

Wednesday

It was a busy day at work for me and I got almost an hour of walking in too so YEA!!

Breakfast: Oatmeal with olive oil margarine and honey. Hard-boiled egg


Lunch: Cauliflower & Broccoli Soup with a couple of cheddar mini biscuits

Supper: Chicken Alfredo with mushrooms, tomatoes over Ziti


Its getting slightly better on the eating though I do need to bulk up on the fruits and veggies. I've even been considering wheat grass shots to supplement.

Back to Work

So I'm back getting up at 6-ish to get ready and be at work by 8am. Its one thing getting up early because i want to and another getting up because I have too.

I was pretty tired by the end of the day and hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I started out good with eating:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with olive oil margarine and some honey

Lunch: Homemade Cauliflower Broccoli soup with two small cheddar bisucuits

Afternoon snack: Baggie of baby carrots with some lo-cal ranch dip

Dinner..Uhh yea...not so good

I did get plenty of water and made sure I took my HBP pill and tomorrow is another day and I plan to do better.

I'll boil up some eggs tonight so I can have a few on hand at work. I love hard boiled eggs and one with my oatmeal really fills me up until lunch.

Lunch Ideas Needed

I like salad but I cannot bring myself to eat them everyday and I don't find them very filling either. Normally I just bring supper leftovers but I'd really love some other ideas too.

So if anyone is reading this blog I'd love some healthy lunch ideas that go beyond salad or leftovers
