Cross fit work out this morning, gardening this afternoon, I deserved that glass of wine Wink

Sept 12
Breakfast: first you get some veggies from the fridge - a little red pepper, onion, celery, saute it in olive oil, add 2 slices of turkey bacon cut up, pour over this 1 beaten egg plus equivalent egg white, cook til done. I forgot to mention that you have to use the perfect size pan that is the same size as the organic grain whole wheat tortilla shell, because when the eggs are cooked you put in on the tortilla shell and roll it up. Great breakfast you can hold it in one hand and turn the pages of the newspaper with the other. I only ate 1/2 of it, very filling.
Lunch : the rest of my tortilla, Salad made with 1/2 an apple, 1/2 a cucumber, 1 stalk of celery and 1 tbsp of mayo and 1/2 tsp grainy mustard all mixed up. a little brie and cold meat on the side. Surprisingly good.
Afternoon appie: whole grain tortilla shell covered with 6 sliced olives, 2 oz low fat cheese, finely cut jalapeno pepper - in the oven 10 minutes - cut up like a pizza and share with a friend like I did. and wine
Dinner: Last nights leftovers - a chicken leg and thigh & 1/4 breast - 11/2 cups stir fry veggies with sesame oil and fresh herbs. and wine

When I was writing down my food journal after dinner I forgot about the appie pizza so I decided to treat myself and had a small scoop of ice cream and cashews. It wasn't until I got to the computer to share my food day that I remembered, thus destroying my perfect 10 day. I need a seniors moment forgetful happy face icon
