Peas and Thank You

Sunday, June 6, 2010–Rest Day

I did walk for about 20 minutes on the treadmill this morning at an incline.  I’m really struggling with the food portion right now, though.  I have been so busy writing and cooking non-BFL approved things for the week, that it’s hard to be so meticulous about every meal.  I still plan on eating this way after the 12 weeks are up, but it will be a bit of a relief to not have to record it all.

• Meal 1: Pumpkin Protein Oatbran (1 scoop Sun Warrior, 1/3 c. oat bran, stevia, cinnamon, almond milk, topped with almond butter)
• Meal 2: Leftover vegetarian Pad Thai (book recipe).
• Meal 3: Large salad of spinach, broccoli and peppers topped with hummus, Tofurkey + a small serving of a book casserole
• Meal 4: Protein Chocolate Pistachio Ice Cream (1 serving silken tofu,  2 T. pistachios, 1 T. Nutribiotic Rice Protein 2 T. cocoa powder, stevia, ice, xanthan gum and 2 T. TruWhip)

See what I mean?
