"If you fail to plan......hmmph!"

It's tuesday and I didn't do a good job in planning for food this week. Ok I didn't plan at all. I didn't do any grocery shopping on sunday as planned; therefore, I didn't have much in the house to cook. Not even eggs! Yesterday was all about left overs in my cooler for work. Today, I had to eat on the road and I had even less food to pack. Oh boy!

As I left this morning, I made sure I ate enough for breakfast. Actually, I NEVER skip breakfast unless I sleep past it. Even then, I still eat my breakfast whenever I wake up, no matter what time it is lol! Anyway, I used my smaller cooler today. I only had almonds, 1 apple, 1 pear, dried cranberries, left over yogurt and some cereal to put in it. Yes, I always have some kind of food on me; even it's only nuts!

I really dislike eating out (well, except on yummy dates *blush*:) but since I failed to plan this week...yeaaa :-/ Did I still try to eat clean on the go? Yeaaap =)

 

For a filling snack, I had some greek yogurt with dried crans and a sprinkle of muesli cereal. I usually get Oiko's greek yogurt but mommy was paying the day I got this one lol!

About 2.5hrs later, I had to choose lunch; I went with a burrito bowl from Chipotle. It had been a while so I was SUPER excited lol! Now, remember it's not the food but what we put in it. You can make Chipotle as healthy as you want or as fatty as you want depending on how much cheese, sour cream, and yummy guac u add. I chose a bowl with some rice, extra black beans, bell peps & onions, corn, tomatoes, chicken, medium salsa and lots of lettuce...YUM!!!!

BEFORE: They're HUGE! Usually 2 servings for me.

SIDE BAR: Umm...why does my mommy squeeeeze the life out of a bottle when she drinks from it?? Does it propel more water into the mouth for faster drinking or summin'?? I don't get it....smh!

 Check out today's victim!

Ok moving on...

AFTER: I'm full & happy =)

This was enough to hold me over till I got home. I ate the rest for dinner!

Note: I transitioned to plain greek yogurt several months ago when I became more aware of how much added sugars most packaged foods have. Read the nutrition info people! Yes, it's a bit more expensive but now I can't even eat regular yogurt anymore. Waaaay to sweet for my palate now. I find it fascinating that we can re-train our palates! So cool I tell ya. I just add some fruit or drizzle a lil honey to make it tasty for me. I've noticed that I don't have my crazy sugar cravings as much as I used to. Progress! Besides, you can't beat the 15grams of yummy protein each serving of plain greek yogurt has!

I'm cooking tomorrow =)

Upper body and calves are still sore. Doing some yoga tonight! Tomorrow is Legs/Glute day. I'm still a bit rusty so we'll see how it goes.

And the journey continues....

Grateful!
