First of, I hope you all had a HAPPY FRIDAY! I had the best Friday. Everything just went well. And now I am relaxing and watching my favorite show: Law and Order: SVU. I should have been a detective, I am obsessed with the show.
OK, let's start off with the eats. I had a docs appointment early so I had to make something quick for breakfast. I couldn't decide between peanut butter and toast or toast with egg whites, so I topped one slice with each.
Breakfast
- one slice french meadow cinnamon raisin toast with better 'n peanut butter
- one slice french meadow cinnamon raisin toast topped with 2 scrambled egg whites.
HIT THE SPOT!
Workout:
- ran 4.30 miles. I felt just ok. Not awesome, but not like crap either. I got more motivated as I got into the run, but I think I was a bit sleepy, which I think made me feel not great.
- lifted arms. I really lifted good though. Not amazing, I feel like I don't push myself hard enough, but my arms felt it.
When I got to work, I snacked on one of these ZONE BAR INDULGENCE BARS. German chocolate cheesecake! This was awesome. These bars are so awesome, loaded with protein and all natural. 1 bar has 180 calories, 6 grams fat, 0 trans fats, 15 grams sugar, and 10 grams protein. This was MY LAST review of these bars and I HONESTLY believe these are some of the best tasting, high protein bars out there. Tastes like a candy bar. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend you do.
Lunch 1 was crispy coconut chicken
- 3 oz purdue all natural chicken
- 1 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes (unsweetened organic)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- dip chicken in egg white, then coconut flour, then egg white again and then coconut flakes. Stir fry in oil. DELICIOUS!
I ate mine with some roasted eggplant.
Lunch 2 was Almond Meal "Breaded" Eggplant.
- 1/2 eggplant
- egg white
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- Don Sabrosa's roasted garlic salsa
Directions: cut eggplant into slices. dip in egg white, then almond meal. Bake in oven at 400 for about 15-20 minutes.
I used Don Sabrosa's roasted garlic salsa as a dip
Last was Artichoke Burger Stir Fry using the delicious artichoke burgers Five Star Foodies sent me. It was my last one :(
