Breakfast: 1/2 a serving of leftover frittata topped with salsa, plus 1/2 c oatmeal with 1/2 a chopped apple mixed in. I microwaved the apple pieces with cinnamon for about a minute and a half before adding them.
Dinner: honey-mustard baked salmon (equal parts honey and mustard brushed over a filet, baked at 450 F for about 12 minutes), brown rice, and a sad salad with vinaigrette. I need to make a late-night grocery run for some more green vegetables.
I was feeling fairly motivated at breakfast time earlier so I followed a recipe (more like a suggestion/list of instructions) from one of my Tosca Reno books on making a healthy frittata from leftovers.
I sautéed some leftover stir-fry veggies and chicken from the other night in a pan until they were warm… The recipe also suggested adding a cooked leftover starch like brown rice, which I had, so I decided to try that…. Then I added six egg whites and a whole egg, let the whole thing cook for about three minutes until the eggs started to set, and then put the pan under the broiler for three minutes to finish.
I ate half of the finished product with salsa.
Five-minute dinner: salad with cucumber, sprouts, and red pepper topped with chicken and hummus
Insanely early dinner because I’ve got to leave for the theater soon: baked lemon pepper tilapia, sweet potato with cinnamon, and steamed green beans tossed with olive oil. Feeling back on track and even-keeled again!
Fear foods galore here (chips, mayonnaise, sandwich bread!) but I did enjoy half of this lobster roll :)
(The background is I’m writing a story about this restaurant so they just sent out random signature menu items.)
Dinner was part of a steak I brought home yesterday with some of the rosemary I posted earlier; maple- and thyme-roasted carrot ribbons from the blog Katie Did; and steamed green beans tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice… I need to get the hang of cooking grass-fed beef. It’s really easy to overdo.
I’ve got a layover but my first flight arrived late, so this hastily grabbed salad is going to be dinner on my second flight, minus the fried thingies. I should have brought food with me but I was weighed down by so much extra stuff already I didn’t wanna deal.
Just trying to stay healthy, fit, and sane in a world that is often none of these.
This blog is about healthy food, fitness, body image, self care, recovery, weightlifting, and all that kind of stuff.
After years of obsessive calorie-counting, bad habits, and worse self-image, I'm choosing to get better... So bear with me as I retool this blog a bit.
