Spinach!

I love spinach, I add it to a lot of stuff, including my stuffed shells, it's my way of sneaking in a vegetable... its packed full of nutrients.

Yesterday we went to this place called 'Little Daddy's'. I LOVE the Tommy's salad, lettuce, tomatoes, celery, onions, beets, cukes, chicken, feta, dressing, dill. YUM! I asked if they could replace my lettuce with spinach, seriously, it was AWESOME!!!

Back on Track

It was a bad week, and crazy leading up to it, however, today I am back on track. I seriously think I gained 6 pounds last week!! I didn't weigh in... so I am not sure!

Today I started out with my normal breakfast sandwich

Arnold Bread (1)
Veggie Cheese (1)
Spinach
Tomato
Morningstar Sausage patty (1)
Egg + Egg White (2)

My snacks (morning & afternoon) were planned, blueberries, tomatoes, string cheese

For lunch I had a hummus, tabouli, tomato on a whole wheat pita with garlic

I was supposed to go to Ruby Tuesday’s for dinner however, I looked to see what I could eat… NOTHING! That is probably one of the worst resturaunt if you’re trying to eat well… yikes, so I asked my friend if we could go to Little Daddy’s and I LOVE Tommy’s salad so we are having that instead!

It doesn’t matter what happened in the last two weeks, there may be consequences (on the scale & in my clothes but I am moving forward… and by the way, I LOVE my breakfast sandwich!

I made some yummy stuffed shells for dinner for this week. I wish I could find whole grain jumbo shells, but I filled the shells with ground turkey, zucchini, mushrooms, fresh spinach, garlic, covered it in spaghetti sauce (not in a jar but made with tomato paste & packet spaghetti) and sprinkled with parm cheese. I can’t wait to have them!

So… back on track with my eating which will help with my budget as well (eating more at home and less out).
