July 24, 2015

Morning walk - 30 min - drank water
1/2 cup of coffee with half and half and vanilla stevia

Breakfast - I really do not like eating in the morning.  I don't want food then and I don't want to put any effort into making it.  I can understand why people like to have cereal and smoothies for breakfast because it is easy.  I want something quick and simple for breakfast.  But I do not like smoothies or juices at all.  Ick.  I also don't like cereal and I don't think it is healthy.  I do not like sweet foods for breakfast.  My favorite breakfast foods include eggs with sauteed veggies - which I prefer to eat around 9:30 to 10:30 am on days I don't have to work early, or a ham sandwich when I have to work early.
I have made porridge from soaked steel cut oats  mixed half and half with  polenta and it is ok, but you have to soak it the night before and I keep making too much - I need to cut back to a tiny amount if I am going to do it and I don't always feel like eating it after having soaked and cooked it.

So, today for breakfast at 8:30, which is late since I don't work until this afternoon, I made a poached egg for the first time ever.  I think the water may not have been hot enough at first because it sort of came apart a bit looking like egg drop soup almost rather than a poached egg, but most of it held together.  I had the egg on a Rudy's organic spelt English Muffin (70 calories) with a little salt and pepper.  It was ok.  With water.

Lunch - salad - greens, snap peas, homemade pickles, sunflower seeds
Dressing - walnut oil, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar

Snack - almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries

Dinner - leftover spinach/artichoke calzone, broccoli and asparagus, strawberries, water

Aaaaaalergies.
Ugh.
On Friday, my voice sounded so bad that a co-worker said I sounded like a drag queen.  This started on Wed.  I am on day 5 of a headache. 
So, I had my coffee and went out for a walk before it got too hot.  I think I walked about 20 -25 min.  It felt hot in the sun anyway.

Breakfast - a 100 cal Oroweat sandwich thin - toasted with a little butter and some avocado spread on it and an egg from the farmer's market fried in olive oil, and water.  Also took vitamins - adult gummy vites, calcium and d3.

Lunch - major salad - greens, blue and black berries, some leftover chicken - about 3 oz or so cut up, sunflower seeds, 1 T plain goat milk yogurt, chia seeds, hemp seeds, leftover cooked green beans and broccoli, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 avacado, water

Dinner - pasta, squash (trombetti and pattypan squash from my garden and a yellow squash from the store - cooked with salt and pepper and butter), leftover chicken from last night - thigh, a little bit of leftover black eyed peas (from my garden), strawberries, water.
