365.5: Easier, Hungrier

I was just hungry all day (and I ate protein), and I did an hour of yoga, so that may have had something to do with it. 5 days down, 360.25 to go! :)

blueberry bagel from my second office with honey walnut cream cheese
special K protein bar
applesauce
cocoa almonds (perfect for protein and sweet)
1/2 cup black bean corn salsa soup
Corn cake (from Macheesmo's corn bread recipe from a few days ago)
whole raw almonds
5 dried apricots
an orange
1/2 cup whole wheat mushroom pasta
1/4 apple
1/2 pear

365.2: Ice Day

Today, we had an ice day. So, I've sat on my couch with my roommate (both of us are writers) and we have been social networking, working, writing, laughing, and eating. Good day. It's cold outside!

1 piece Panera Cinnamon Raisin toast, with said TJ Peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon. Idea taken from Jennifer's Knack for Nutrition blog

1 piece of Macheesmo's cornbread (threw the rest out of I would have eaten it)

3/4 cup of whole wheat rotini with cream of mushroom soup, pesto, evoo, white wine

Homemade popcorn with 2 T plain m&ms

3 egg white omelette with cheddar cheese and some spinach

Baked sweet potato fries - slight tweaking.

Today has been easier and you just have to make up your mind to do it!

Photo: This summer this delicious sandwich was an avocado, tomato, egg white, and sandwich thin. Yum. Some sriracha sauce was on it too!

365.1: Here we go!

This was yesterday. I was sitting at my desk at work and asked a question "What would it take for you to go meatless for one year?" out to FB world. I got a ton of answers, most were not willing. Then, I said, you know what...go with it.

Almost like running a half marathon, or writing a book, sometimes you just gotta make up your mind to do it. And I did. And I'm doing it.

Day 1:

2 pieces Panera Cinnamon raisin toast with Trader Joe's unsalted crunchy peanut butter (my favorite)

Some mochabuttercream (as I was frosting a cake)

Banana

1/2 small sub from Jersey Mike's and took the turkey off (since they didn't order any veggie subs)

BBQ chips

Dark Mint Lindt Truffle (thank you Madalyn)

Piece of said cake (we were at a party)

1/2 Pumelo

Macheesmo's Jalepeno Cheddar Cornbread - THIS IS SO GOOD!

Happy Herbivore's Curried Pumpkin Lentil Soup

Kettle Corn and 1/2 cup hot chocolate (homemade with skim milk) during NCAA game.
