Lunch

Let's talk lunch shall we?

Lunch is never a meal that I liked, in fact the way my days go it's more of a pain in the butt. The average day doesn't have Syl having lunch. Usually I will have a piece of fruit and a fibre one bar ... I know what you are thinking!

I didn't realize how bad it was getting until I sat down on Tuesday to do my goals for the month. I looked at my meals for the past month and was not suprised that there wasn't much in the lunch column, but was SHOCKED to see how much I was eating at dinner and after dinner and after working out and before bed!

I knew something had to give. I had to balance my day out more. So another one of my goals is to start eating a normal lunch, take my supper time and make it a little later in the day.

So I thought yesterday was a good way to start incorporating lunch into my day and I even took pictures of the process for you!

I started out with flat bread and spread some Red Pepper dip on it, it's really low in calories and I only used half a serving, it's really yummy! Some times I just eat the wrap and spread with nothing else, but I'm trying hard to eat lunch remember....

then I added a tiny bit of shredded cheese.

Then came the ham, I used 3 thin slices of Black Forest ham

Then I added some sliced cucumber and some red bell peppers for crunch!

and what's a wrap without lettuce and a few hot peppers!

then I "wrapped" it all up (I'm such a comedian :-)) and added some strawberries, black grapes, cherry tomatoes and a few carrot slices.

and for being such a good girl and having lunch I treated myself to a cup of tea and 2 of these:end result: I felt weird all day! Eating that much for lunch was not easy for me, infact the above pictured items were started at 11:00 and I didn't finish eating till just after 1:00. I am sure practice will make perfect I just have to make a point of eating it.

In other news I haven't worked out this whole week. Monday we went to get our vaccines and it's been down hill from there. Monday we stood in line for 4 hrs to get them done. Tuesday my arm really hurt and I decided to use it as a day to do my goals till the end of the year. Yesterday afternoon I FELT LIKE I WAS HIT BY A BUS. Seriously I had no energy in me. I put the boys to bed and was in bed myself by 8:00. I feel congested and really tierd but I am sure it's just a reaction to the vaccine. Either way yesterday I didn't work out either.

Some times life just happens and you can't fit it all in. This week I haven't worked out but I have been very careful in the food department, making sure that I track every bite and not go over my calories. I am feeling that with the next 2 months coming up and alot of working out going on, I am just going to take the week off and let my body rest. I am thinking I won't last not working out until Monday but if I do it's ok!

I was going to insert a cliff hanger here......but I won't, I'll just tell you that tomorrow is my 300th post and it's going to be a special one....
