A Complete Breakfast

Monday! I got a call from my boyfriend early this morning that I brought his keys to work with me! Ack! I hate it when things like that happen.
Breakfast was the Last of the Voskos with honey, PB Puffins, and a banana.
Once again I'm impressed by Greek yogurt. This container has 140 calories, 0 fat, and has 24g of protein. Plus the texture and flavor is out of this world!
I snacked on carrots, grape tomatoes, celery, plus a couple of red bell pepper with leftover hummus.
After working out at the gym, I came back to my desk starving. My coworker was talking to me while I was cramming my sandwich in my cheeks. It's a regular pita, with Boston lettuce, 2 oz of ham, and 1 oz of cheddar. I like Boston lettuce a lot, so I might have to try growing it. The grocery stores here usually carry pitiful looking heads.
This kept me full for quite a while.
Around 2:00 I had my customary afternoon coffee. I couldn't help but break out the Clif bar.
These things are the devil. Yum!
When I got home, I really wanted a sweet potato, but decided against it. Instead, I threw together a stirfry. It consists of carrots, celery, shelled edamame, garlic, ginger, secret bayou seasonings, and shrimp. Atop brown rice
Just mediocre. I should've gone with what I was craving instead of trying to make a dent in the freezer food.
For dessert I had a pear.
Protein:
This article links to a World's Healthiest foods article about Protein. I found it very informative, especially the foods high in protein that are plant based.
I need to go to bed!

A Leftover Kind of Day

The air felt GREAT today! It's currently 67!


Breakfast: Today I tried the Voskos plain Greek yogurt topped with my own honey. I tried a little without honey too (for fairness), and have to say their 0% is better than Oikos in my opinion. Not that I would turn away any Oikos. If you think that, you're mistaken.
I also had PB Puffins, and coffee. There was a grapefruit planned, but it looked old and gray so it went back into the fridge. Not quite a complete breakfast, but I scraped by.

Snack:
Clif bar - last of the PB crunch. Not my favorite. In case anyone is wondering, I eat a snack about an hour before I work out. Anything helps with energy levels and performance. I used to be really anti-protein bars, but I've changed my opinion a little.

Lunch: Is anyone surprised that I'm still eating lentil soup? I have about 6 servings left. They're going in the freezer.And a sweet potato that I baked last night.I tried something that I remembered reading on the daily plate. I put honey on it. Just honey. It was good, but maybe too sweet? I like my sweet potatoes with pepper, or if I'm not caring about calories with butter and peppery seasonings.
My lunch always consists of a big gulp of water too. One in the morning, one after working out.Ah!

Snack: apricots, dates and(I ate the rest of the bag and then took a picture)

Dinner:
This has turned out to be leftover week. There was some chicken leftover from my roasting project (5 days old is still good, right?), so we made an old favorite Pasta Pesto with Chicken.
I had an olive and sliced bell pepper on the side.
