3 days of waking up at 4am is NOT fun! I'm having a terribly headache now. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, since the day I knew about my Dad's Diabetes, I couldn't sleep well. And I'm not even thinking or worrying too much of the issue (well.... consciously). Maybe too much work? I've been working >9 hours per day... that doesn't help either. Anyway, this doesn't put me in a great mood for the day, so let's do this post quick. I'll definitely take Melatonin tonight, hope it helps.
Fortunately I had good eats yesterday and more progress on the paper that I'm working on. I'm meeting Carmen this Sunday so I have to finish up all the analysis today (Friday) so I can take Saturday off.
Only two days left for the 4 challengeS... I can't wait to write my thoughts and body reactions to them! Stay tuned!
Breakfast: I wanted to try Wheat Cream that Krista sent me, but only 3 tbsp a serving doesn't seem enough food for me. So I used oat bran too. This combo contains:

Breakfast: I wanted to try Wheat Cream that Krista sent me, but only 3 tbsp a serving doesn't seem enough food for me. So I used oat bran too. This combo contains:
- 1/3 c. oat bran
- 2 tbsp wheat cream
- 1 c. almond milk
- 2 tbsp egg white
- vanilla/cinnamon
- topping: black berries, Cinnamon Swirl PB (I'm liking it! ^_^)
The mix of oat bran and wheat cream made this combo especially creamy! Love it! Thanks Krista!!!AM snack: walnuts and a green apple.
Lunch salad: I used Maggie's method to sauteed the veggies a little bit before adding to the greens. In the mix:- spring mix
- 2 Tj's baby beets
- cherry tomatoes
- mushrooms
- orange peppers
- pan fried tofu
- avocado (I think I'm liking it, although I don't know if I'd like it if I eat it plain)
- dressing: olive + lemon + salt
With a whole Vermont muffin (1/2 didn't seem to be enough)
I love the warm-cold salad! Such a brilliant idea Maggie!Dessert: small bowl of mixgranola
PM snack: a blood orange and a bowl of wheat berries/almond milk/pumpkin/cinnamon
After work, I went to a spin class with only 3 people. But the instructor was so professional that made an amazing class!Dinner was a good one: grilled fillet + steamed broccoli + bulgur pilaf made with 1/3 c. bulgur, 1 shallot, 1/2 c. frozen green peas, 1 cup chopped kale, Tj's 12 seasoning, S+P.
It was so easy to make and delicious!!!
Dessert: the so expected double portion of dairy free chocolate pudding. I think I can totally get rid of yogurt with this pudding!~~~
To fool my body to get into sleep, I had a slice of WW bread before bed (no pic!), unfortunately it didn't do the trick last night.Question (a classic for friday): What do you have planned for this weekend? Anything fun?
