Today has been a hunger day…I just can’t seem to keep the stomach full. It is probably because I did a weight workout this morning and those always seem to make me ravenous the rest of the day. Whatever the reason, I have eaten all day!
For breakfast, I had the ‘special’ as I got the kids off to school. I then worked out while trying to potty train my youngest (there was a lot of pausing involved and changing clothes). After showering and getting pretty for the day, I sat down to my 2nd ‘breakfast’ for the day of sauteed sweet potato and roasted chicken. I then continued with the potty training and changing clothes (hers, not mine) while playing dolls and coloring. I needed a mental break by 12 and made our lunch. For me, this included a hamburger patty on spinach, avocado and more sauteed sweet potato.
Dinner consisted of cleaning out the frig and reheating lots of leftovers…apple mustard chicken burger, creamed cauliflower, sauteed zucchini, and roasted sweet potatoes. Can you see a pattern with the sweet potatoes?! After dinner, I still had a hole in my stomach, so I made a banana almond butter ‘muffin’ mug. What is that, you ask?? It is a mashed banana, egg, 2 tbs almond butter, 2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder mixed together and thrown into a mug and put in the microwave for 2.5 minutes. I know it sounds a bit disturbing but is actually quite good and packed with protein. It finally filled me up!!
Maybe it was the potty training that gave me such an appetite! I don’t know about my daughter, but I was worn out from the experience today. I think maybe she was too…
26 days done…4 days to go!!!
