This
week for meatless Monday yet again I almost messed up. Thankfully I read the
email again and realized that I had to stop myself for one day from eating
meat. So for breakfast has usual I had three eggs with peppers and spinach in
it along with some Colby jack cheese. For a little extra flavor I put some
Franks Red hot on it. This Monday was especially busy for me because I had a
test in my night class and two other classes to go to. Because of my busy
schedule I did not have a huge lunch like I usually do. I just had a handful of
peanuts and a couple clementine’s. After lunch I began to study again and cram
as much as possible before my test. With having a night class and having a test
in the class it is hard to eat a good nutritious dinner. However I managed to
make a calzone with all veggies and cheese in it, it was absolutely delicious!
I think I gave zonies a run for their money! In the calzone I put peppers,
onions, mushrooms, a little bit of salsa, banana peppers, spinach, and more
tomatoes. While the calzone was in the oven cooking I studied some more. For a
side dish I had some left over breadsticks from the pizza we had the night
before, they were not the greatest leftover. All in all I believe that I had a
pretty good Monday with the stress of a test and classes. This upcoming Monday
I will make sure that I am much more prepared for Monday and try my best not to
get caught off guard like I have the past two Sundays.
Hey Bob,
ReplyDeleteI too struggled to successfully go meatless this week. I am glad that you were able to persevere. Going meatless is certainly a challenge. It is not something that you can just do without putting forth a conscious effort. I too struggled this week. I was not really feeling good. When I am not feeling good, I am sort of a baby. I like to spoil myself with whatever foods I want. However, since it was Monday, I was not able to do this. Like you, however, I was successful in getting myself in the proper mindset.
I wanted to compliment you on your meal selections this week. I have to admit, while I was reading this, my mouth began to water. Your breakfast sounded delicious. I can’t tell you how long it has been since I had eggs, let alone prepared all fancy like that with vegetables. I rarely have time to prepare myself a real breakfast (mostly because of dishes). I commend you on making such an extravagant breakfast. They save that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I understand that you did not have time for a huge lunch. It is midterm week for me too, and time is definitely an issue. Even though you did not have a huge portion, I feel like your choices were good. Peanuts are high in protein and tend to fill you up quickly. And, my favorite part of your day, dinner. Calzones sound super delicious. I have to admit, I would never think to prepare something like that, but after reading your blog, I may just have to try it. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Becca
Looking forward to reading your progress with weeks 5 and 6 Robert!
