The start of the new work week and I'm starting to cut back on portion size. I looked at the container I take my lunch in, a salad, and it holds four cups of salad. The other container holds 5 1/4 cups of salad. So I'm cutting back some and still feeling satisfied with the lunch. I'm trying to inject more protein as the theory is that protein will satisfy your hunger. So quinoa is a staple of the salads I'm making. I think I will experiment next with a straight forward quinoa salad and see how that goes. Okay here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: Egg and turkey sandwich on a skinny bun with tomato and avocado. Banana and 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds
Lunch: Spinach salad with cauliflower, carrot shreds, tomato, quinoa mixed with salmon, and salsa for dressing.
2nd snack: Apple Pie Larabar
Dinner: Sliced pear mixed with cottage cheese, quinoa, and salsa. I actually measured a serving of cottage cheese (1/2 cup) to see what it looked like. I've been pretty much giving myself a serving when I have cottage cheese. That was a good surprise.
I started using the new water bottle today. It was a funny story at first though as I could not get the nipple fixture to work. It has one of the openings that you bite and suck to get the water out. It has a straw so that I don't have to tip the bottle up to drink. Anyway once I figured out how to work the bottle I went to town and drank almost the entire bottle (32oz) by lunch time. So I'm off to a good start. However I did notice that when I was busy I still forget to drink but I'm going to work on that.
Went to the gym and did cardio. As the new year is upon us the gym was rather busy but I was still able to get in my workout.
