Before I start I have to share. So I sit down in front of the computer with my dinner to catch up on blogs, and the first thing I read is “I have got to be better about taking pictures” from Bran Appetit. Which reminded me to grab my camera. So for the 2nd time today you will find a photo with the food having a single bit from it!
Sunday my mind said “you should go practice your routine”.. my body said “f@#k no!’
My body says, “I’m hungry and want carbs”.. my mind says, “too bad, you’re not giving in now.”
Sunday was my 3rd low-carb day, so basically I’m hungry all day. But on the positive side, it’s always fun to plan the carbs I’m going to get on day 4, Carb day!
This is what appeared this morning:
Lovely I know, haha. The result of routine practice yesterday.. I bruise easily.
I did make a trip to Sprouts Farmers Market today to stock up on my Walden Farms products along with fresh Tilapia (I feel so lucky to live someplace with amazing markets everywhere, including Sprouts, Sunflower Farmers Market, Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s!). I eyed the bulk foods trail mix & granola sections, wandered by the fresh veggies and even tempted myself by glancing over the baked goods. I couldn’t help but pickup this cute little pumpkin, our only Halloween decoration so far.

Even though I have an actually desk, this is where I spend a significant amount of my at home time.. in front of the computer with my stuff spread out everywhere. I seem to take up a lot of space for someone my size 
For a snack I mixed in 1 oz of my new Sugar Free Peanut Butter syrup into this giant protein pancake. Sadly the PB taste got lost when I cooked it, but the batter was amazing.

Dinner was scramble Egg Beaters (0.5c) and Egg Whites (0.5c) with Grilled Tilapia. That white stuff on top is Walden Farms Ranch Dressing (look for a post on my opinion of these products coming soon). Not the prettiest meal, but pretty filling, which is what I needed today!
Thankfully I got in some school work and reading while preparing and packaging foods for the next few days- Chicken Breast, Spinach Bars, Tilapia and Sweet Potato (gooo carb day!).
I should buy stock in Gladware
And then came:
Cookie Dough Ice Cream!

LOVE sunflower market. I like sprouts as well. I obviously love Whole foods, but my bank account doesn’t. I’m curious about your review of Walden Farms products because I have tried a few of them and thought they were disgusting, but I’ve heard it depends what you get.
Love your ice cream recipe! Xanthun gum is like magic, isn’t it? A little goes a long way (I’ve learned that the hard way)…
I’m a Whole Foods fan like fitlizzio but I’m also a fan of locally owned Hy-Vee supermarkets. They honest to goodness care about your questions and promote healthy-living through workshops and nutritional scoring solutions.
Train hard and have a wonderful day!
I’m not a huge fan of that Walden Farms Ranch on its own. I used to mix 1 tblsp of it with regular reduced fat ranch to get some volume though.
Oh man I bruise so easily. You should see the pic I put up of when my hubbie accidently nailed me with a line drive at softball practice. NASTY!
