Finally – a WIAW (or What I ate Last Wednesday)

I’ve been wanting to join in on the WIAW over at Peas & Crayons for a while now, but a) I suck at remembering to take pictures and b) I tend to eat a lot of on the run bits and pieces rather than meals.  I’ve been working really hard to slow down and actually sit and eat a meal and last week I was pretty successful at that.  I’ve continued to do a pretty good job this week.

Breakfast #1: Crusts from the PB&J I made for Shoo’s lunch + the other half of his lunch pear.  I staged the bowl.  This is normally eaten right off the cutting board as I run around getting us all ready for school.

Breakfast #2: (unphotographed): Crustless quiche with eggs, low-fat cottage cheese, and a ton of different veggies.  I eat make an 8 serving quiche and freeze it.  It’s my “go to” after workout meal.

Lunch:  Sauteed onions, red peppers, turnips, mushrooms, and a black bean veggie burger with a sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese on the top.  I’m pretty sure I ate it right out of the pan.

Snack:  Slice of multi-grain bread.  I’m a sucker for fresh bread and I’d just been to the bakery that morning.

Dinner:  Potato Leek Soup and another slice of bread.

Evening snack:  Fat free ricotta cheese with maple syrup and walnuts.  (Yes, I do use my kids’ old bowls.  This has Cookie Monster on the bottom LOL.  It helps keep my portions smaller.)

I found yesterday’s scale discussion quite interesting.  It’s funny how we all see it differently.  Today my weight was up, but I know that it was just a fluctuation due to too much sodium yesterday.  Had I seen that number after not weighing myself for a week or a month, I’d be convinced I was heading straight for my fat pants.  ;o)
