So yesterday I was talking about depression. I have to say the best remedy for depression is an awesome spring day and an hour long bicycle ride. Instantly brightens up your spirit. I just can't get over what sun shine can do for your mood. So I didn't go to the gym today after work. I came home and went for a bike ride. That's what I've been waiting for. Finally the weather cooperated. I even got some protein on the ride, damn bugs. So besides the bike ride, I did take a walk at lunch today and that felt pretty good too. Right then and Bob's your uncle:
Breakfast: Egg sandwich with tomato, avocado, roast beef, and skinny bun. Banana and 20oz of cold water.
Snack: Greek yogurt w/almonds
Lunch: Wrap featuring chicken meat balls from Trader Joe's with quinoa and roasted cauliflower sprinkled with shredded cheese. I also had a snack bar. The bar had fewer calories, less sugar and more protein than the Larabar I've been eating. The ingredient list though was a mile long. the ingredient list for a Larabar Cherry Pie, three ingredients. It consists of date, cherry, and almond. That's it. No preservatives, nothing artificial, just real stuff.
Snack: Another brand of snack bar. Same thing with this one compared to the Larabar. Less calories, less sugars, and more protein. An ingredient list a mile long. Some names you can't pronounce and some stuff you just scratch your head in bewilderment as to what they really are.
Dinner: Salad with a turkey burger, that I made from scratch, added to the salad along with cauliflower, tomato, quinoa, cottage cheese, avocado, and dressing. After dinner I had an orange and almonds.
