I'm done talking about sleep! I'm not getting any...end of story after a terrible night's sleep!
Breakfast...same old oat cereal. I had a breakfast meeting where they served scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and delectable pastries, but I contained myself and had fruit and hot tea!
I had a shake, rice cakes with tahini and grapefruit for lunch.
While I made dinner, I had a banana and two kiwi fruits to maintain my blood sugar! 4-5pm is definitely my hardest time to avoid falling off the wagon.
For dinner, I made Roasted Winter Vegetable Stew from Deepak Chopra's cookbook. It was a complicated recipe that involved many steps: cooking beans for over an hour, steaming veggies, making a rue, sauteing, simmering...the list goes on. I would compare this recipe to a healthy version of an Alfredo sauce as far as the consistency goes. It had good flavor because it has loads of fresh rosemary. I don't know that I would pick that combination of veggies again, but I will definitely revise this recipe and make it again. We had spinach salads with this recipe and felt very full after the meal. We ended up eating fairly late because it took me so long to make this recipe, but it was worth it. I will move this recipe to the list for weekend cooking because it takes to long during the week!
I got a long run in on the treadmill tonight and it felt fabulous! I am running farther and faster than I normally would without much training. I feel great!
