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.

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.
GPOY ridiculous coping strategy when I’m going to be out and worried about mindless eating: apply a ton of makeup, especially red lipstick. Before I randomly scarf a pizza bite or something I’ll at least have to get in the mindful zone and think about re-application.
Ok time to go, getting the “where are you” texts.
Also, GPOY because I realized the last few photos I posted are all in sunglasses so yes, I still have eyeballs.
I made a stir-fry for dinner with chicken breast, zucchini, green beans, and a bunch of seasonings/oils including sesame oil, chili paste, tamari, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper, and black and white sesame seeds…. But, unfortunately as soon as I sat down I realized I *completely* ruined my appetite taste-testing during baking, so I’m going to save this for later.
Am I a buzz-kill for hating happy hour?
Even when I had a job that made me miserable, I HATED happy hour. There is just something incredibly depressing about it to me. I’m 1) not interested in drinking at 5:30 p.m. any more, 2) not really into getting stuck being hungry somewhere with crappy food.
Basically I need to turn down another invitation without seeming like a judge-y asshole.
Goal: Make at least one new friend whose idea of happy hour is like, yoga and tea.
Tumblr text post diarrhea, sorry.
Five-minute dinner: salad with cucumber, sprouts, and red pepper topped with chicken and hummus
For dinner, I dusted off the slow-cooker to try to cook up a grass-fed chuck roast I brought home from Tennessee. I added a bunch of chopped tomatoes, onions, tomato paste, red wine, some spices like cumin and bay leaves, and let the whole thing cook for four hours.
Everything that comes out of a slow-cooker kind of always looks like stew or slop but, I’m going to keep using it (or my Sous Vide Supreme!) for all this pastured meat to get it tender.
Then on the side I had some steamed green beans again because I’m trying to get through a big batch I bought before it goes bad.
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!
Dinner is the leftover lobster from my lunch over a salad with cucumber, celery, a few pecans, and grapes (impulsive addition — could be a bad choice, we’ll see).
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.)

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.
