Food Log | April 12, 2007

Seems it doesn't take too long to give in to temptation. I brought a nice salad for lunch and planned to tell the person ordering pizza for a good-bye lunch that I didn't want one this time. The co-worker I usually share the cheeseless pizza with was not here today. So, the pizza came and my lunch got stored for tomorrow...


breakfast:

  • 1 glass of water first thing in the morning
  • 1 extra spicy soy veg patty
  • coffee at home*, and at work
lunch:
  • 5 slices of cheeseless pizza with artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, green olives, mushrooms. Yes, 5.
  • 1 diet coke

afternoon:

  • 2 more slices of pizza. The rest went into the freezer.
  • water

dinner:
  • 3/4 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup canned tomato sauce with
    • mushrooms
    • peppers
    • zucchini
    • carrot
    • garlic
    • kale
  • soda water

vitamins:

  • none

exercise:
  • morning: 10 minutes of arm weight exercises
  • evening: 20 minutes run/walk intervals: run until tired, walk for a minute or two, run more, etc.

Ya know, you should ease up on yourself. Give yourself a break and don't be too harsh on yourself about having 5 slices of pizzar. Yeah pizzar...just like the British say it. :D

As an aternative to pasta you can try brown rice or Quinoa (sp?)...the latter has plenty of protein while the former fills you up fast with plenty of fibre. Both a low on the Glycemic index so they will keep you fuller for hours.

It was actually 7 slices of pizzar :D I'm okay with it - it was cheeseless and meatless so not as bad as it sounds. Meh.

I definitely do eat a lot of quinoa. Most of my lunches last week contained quinoa and red lentils! And, coincidentally, instead of the pasta we'd planned on having for dinner tonight, I cooked up some quinoa to have with the tomato sauce. Food log to be updated!

Thanks for all your encouraging and helpful suggestions, sophie!

Speaking of dietary lifestyle changes and health, I came across this article on the CBC website and wanted to share it with you.
