Day 134 – Food Journal
This morning, I realized that I still hadn’t made it to the grocery to restock up on badly needed supplies. I’m going to have to make a run for it after work this evening. I needed to have something for breakfast, and I didn’t have time for a bowl of cereal before walking out the door. I finally decided to go for one of my Myoplex shakes. It’s not a perfect meal replacement, but it’s got lots of vitamins, minerals, and protien, so I felt it was better than going without breakfast entirely. I decided to have one of the chocolate variety. It was pretty good overall, though I think I prefer the vanilla.
For lunch, I wanted something spicy. I convinced everyone to head to “Noodles and Company”. There I went for the Japanese Pan Noodles. One thing that I changed up was the removal of the “Sauteed Beef”, going with the Shrimp instead. That saved me about 170 calories and gave me the protien that I needed. Also, I think I might have enjoyed the shrimp a little more than the beef, so it really was a win-win situation! I also gave it a nice squirt of “Rooster Sauce” (starting to be my favorite seasoning of all time), which kicked up the heat in the dish quite a bit!!
After I got home from the grocery, I didn’t want to cook anything, but there was something I’d been craving for a while! I decided to make up a small batch of tuna salad (minus eggs, of course). At the grocery, I did pick up some “Light Mayonnaise” which is a little less than 1/2 the calories of the regular stuff. I figured I could use this whenever I’ve got “mayo cravings” or when I want to make something that just doesn’t seem right without it (ie. Tuna Salad). Overall, the sandwiches were good, but I wanted something extra when I was watching TV. I decided to go for a yogurt, especially since I hadn’t had one in a few days!! The TV Show “Dexter” had gotten me craving Key Lime Pie, so I decided to go for that flavor of yogurt. It was pretty awesome!

Overall, a little on the “low” end, but without getting to the gym, I guess it’s not too bad.
