This week was a little easier than the last! I prepared my meals before hand on Sunday because I knew I had a full day of school on Monday.
I started my day with my usual breakfast.. Oatmeal with banana and
peanut butter. Lunch was hard boiled eggs and chickpea salad and dinner
was a protein shake and a big salad! The meal that was most affected was
my dinner.. I feel like I didn't have enough to satisfy me. I kept
snacking on things afterward.. Popcorn.. Crackers.. Cheese.. Next week I
will have to plan to have a bigger dinner ! I was out of the house for
majority of the day, so it did not affect my family like it did last
week.
I found a great kale salad recipe on Pinterest!! So I tried that!
Another successful week.
Hey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteGood job on your second Meatless Monday! It seems like you're getting the hang of it. I never have the motivation to prepare meals the night before so I commend you on that. Your lunch sounded really delicious, I love chickpeas. I also never considered looking for recipes on Pinterest, such a great idea. I find myself snacking a lot after dinner some days too. It'll definitely help to not snack as much if you have a bigger dinner. It might also help if you eat your dinner later. I usually eat dinner around 4pm and then I'm hungry by 8pm, but if I wait until 5:30 or 6pm to eat dinner, I don't get hungry as quickly. It seems like you do a really good job of getting your protein everyday, from the protein shake, eggs, and peanut butter. You also seem to get a lot of vegetables during the day through your salads.
Overall, good job this week and good luck with future Meatless Mondays!
