Since my weight went down again on the scale, I'm assuming that the weight loss was real and not me standing on the scale crooked. Yay! I felt good enough today to push through 20mins of hard cardio. My side still hurt a little, but I just tried to ignore it and keep exercising. I feel better now after my workout, so I think it was a good decision.
I made a gyno apt. for a pap -- but the closest date was May! And that was my 2nd choice dr. My first choice dr. didn't have an opening until late june, early july. I'm assuming it's b/c they're either really good dr.'s or b/c they're some of the only female dr.s. Until may I'm just going to tuff out when my side hurts. I need to get off my ass today and clean the house!
So I didn't make lentil soup yesterday, instead of made a seitan quesadilla, oh so good and about the same cals and protein, so a good swap. I'll try to make the soup again tonight.
MEAL PLAN:
- Strawberry banana smoothie.
- 3/4 cup cornflakes w/1/2 cup whole milk (*get best choice corn flakes. Unlike Kellogg, they don't have hfcs and only have 3g sugar!)
- bagel w/2tsp butter
- Salad with cheese and seeds for protein, making my honey lime poppy seed dressing again.
- Another seitan quesadilla b/c they're so forking awesome.
- 1 1/2 cup lentil soup w/7 crackers.
1914 cals.
Because they are so delicious, healthy, and low cal, here are the recipes for the dressing and the quesadilla:
HONEY LIME POPPY DRESSING:
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp Dijon mustard
whisk together and dress salad. If you're vegan, use maple syrup. If evoo is too expensive, use canola oil. This has 137 cals but it's full of healthy ingredients. The fat from the olive oil will help you feel more full (useful when eating a salad), the vinegar, lime juice, and turmeric in the mustard are all great for blood sugar, and some studies suggest weight loss. It has 17g of sugar, all from honey, so cut the honey in 1/2 to reduce cals and 1/2 the sugar (105 cals and 9g sugar).
Spinach Seitan Quesadilla (you can use turkey lunch meat instead).
1 cup spinach
1 whole wheat tortilla
1 ounce cheese
2-ish ounces of seitan, sliced very thin
Heat a skillet med-med high, no need for oil, I've never had a wheat tortilla stick to the pan. Fold tortilla in 1/2 and stuff all ingredients inside. Shred or dice the cheese so it melts even. Cook on both sides until tortilla is golden on each side. This has about 259 cals but is crazy filling b/c of all the protein. (about 30g, that's over half of what most girls need in a day). Using 2 ounces of turkey instead will have less cals and less protein, but it'll still be filling. It also sneaks a green veggie into you lunch. Kale works just as well as spinach and is usually cheaper. For lunch I eat this by itself, for dinner I add 1 serving of fat free re-fried beans and 1 tbsp full fat sour cream (yeah, it has more fat and cals, but I don't trust all the scary ingredients in the low fat stuff). (the fat free re-fried beans I think and hope are vegetarian, they ingredients don't show any meat or fat, but sometimes I worry all the same.)
