Hey y’all…hope you’ve had a great Tuesday! Mine has been a good one. I am back to work after taking yesterday off so I could heal and go to the doctor. The hubby has been and was awesome yesterday by taking a half day and driving me to the doctor’s office and then getting my prescription filled and just basically making sure I’m ok! He’s so great! I am feeling sooo much better today and am able to walk on my own. It looks a little odd and is still a little painful, but I am making great progress.
While at work today, I was asked if I’ll do Gasparilla next year and my reply was, I plan to do another race in a couple months. I had a great experience and can’t wait for the opportunity to get back to running and training for other races. I really liked all of the excitement and the accomplished feeling that comes over after race, no matter the distance.
Here are today’s eats….
Breakfast: 1 serving of Egg & Broccoli Breakfast Casserole (Approx 125 cals)
Egg & Broccoli Casserole
Here’s what I used for the casserole…adapted from this recipe from Kalyn’s Kitchen which is my “go to” blog for South Beach friendly recipes and just overall good delcious food!
I used:
- 10 eggs + 2 egg whites
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
- Red Onions
- Shredded low-fat cheese
- Jennie-O Turkey Sausage (2 sausages)
I made it about 3/4 for the hubby and 1/4 for me, which means that mine has more veggies and no cheese. I baked it in a glass casserole dish on 375 degrees for about 35 mins. Yum!
Snack: 1 Serving of Roasted Almonds (170 cals)
Roasted Almonds
String Cheese – 50 cals - I was in a hurry and needed a snack
Lunch: Large Spinach Salad (Approx 125 cals) + Black Bean Brownie (196 cals)
Salad
Spinach, steamed broccoli, asparagus, green bell pepper, 1 celery stalk, 2 tsp feta cheese, 2 Tbsp Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Brownie w/ PB
Black Bean Brownie based on this recipe except, I only baked for 20 mins and used 3/4 cup splenda
Dinner: I decided to make lettuce wraps for dinner tonight. (4 lettuce leaves + 1/2 cup mixture – 185 cals)
Lettuce Wraps
Boston Lettuce for the wraps. For the filling: ground turkey, garlic, onion, mushrooms, water chestnuts, red bell pepper, asparagus, red pepper flakes, low sodium tamari, and sesame oil
Black Bean Brownie
Dessert – black bean brownie w/ pb (196 cals) + 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk (30 cals)
I think I will try to make these black bean brownies with egg substitute next time to cut some of the calories and fat.
Workout: None – on the mend
Total Calories: 1077 cals
Alright y’all…I’m off to watch some TV with the hubby and then it’s off to bed with my new Book club book…Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.
Peace out…
