Week 2 of Smart Eating
I've reached the end of Week 2 and I have noticed some great behavior taking shape. The weighting and measuring is fascinating. I usually give myself less meat than what is on the guide and of course, I want more carbohydrates. Sometimes I feel hungry between meals and sometimes I don't. Luckily the small amount of nuts help. The good news is that I do feel that I lost weight and since I don't have a scale I can only tell that my pants do fit better. It's hard to tell here I am on the journey, but I do feel like I have a ways to go. Here's to more smart eating to compliment my fitness challenge.Here's what I've eaten this past week:WEDNESDAY1 egg + 1 egg white with arugula, 1/2 roma tomato, 1/4 avocado on a corn tortillablack tea1 c Seafood Stew with 2 cups of Arugula & Frisee salad with Apples & 2 tsp Sherry Maple dressing1 clementine3.5 oz rib eye with roasted arugula and mitake mushroomsTHURSDAY1.5 c steel cut oats with 1 banana and 2 T cranberries, 1 T nonfat Greek yogurt4 oz turkey burger stuff with 1 oz blue cheese, arugula & frisee salad with apples, 1 t sherry maple dressingSauteed portobello and collards with 1/2 c seafood stew4 oz red wineFRIDAYArugula and Frisee Salad with Apples, Mitake mushrooms and a hard boiled egg1/2 Mahi Sandwich with lettuce and tomato, 1/2 c cole slaw, pickle spear1 honey roasted peanut8 oz Sauvingnon BlancCity Fish Market shared dinner: 1 large shrimp, 1/2 crab cake, 10 mussels, 1 oz tuna tartar on a tortilla chip, 2 oysters on the half shellSmall nonfat cappuccino soft serve in a cake coneSATURDAYcoffee with nonfat milk1 c non-fat Greek yogurt, 2 T raisins, 2 T almonds, sprinkle of cinnamon sugar1 c leftover arugula & frisee salad from yesterday5 small shrimp and 4 small pieces of fried eggplant, 2 T spicy cream sauce1 small hot sake1 c Tom Kai Gai soup1 c Iceberg salad10 pieces of sashimi10 cashewsSUNDAY1 c bran cereal w/ 1 c skim milk, 1/2 banana, 1 T almondscoffee with nonfat milk1/2 mahi sandwich with lettuce, tomato & dijon mustard1 1/2 lb. lobster with 1/2 baked potato, 3/4 c string beans, 1 bite of corn on the cob, 1 T butter3 oz white wine2 Hershey Dark miniMONDAYCoffee with skim milk1 fried egg with thin slice of brie, 1 small piece of rye bread, 2 T onion, 1/2 grapefruit5 unsalted cashews2 cups Salad with 2 oz. steak, 1.5 oz salmon with 1/4 c coleslaw & 1/4 cup rice & beans8 oz. wine2 cups romaine with 1/2 baked potato, 4 shrimp, 4 small pieces of friend eggplant, 2 slices zucchini and 3 mini peppersTUESDAYTropical smoothie with banana, cranberries, OJ and nonfat Greek yogurtCoffee with whole milk2 cups salad with 2 oz. pulled short rib and 1 c sauteed green beansSalad with Beets and Apple, 3.5 oz baked chicken, 1.25 oz bread pudding4 oz white wine
