High fructose corn syrup has graduated to a new level of wickedness in our house; when I was getting the cottage cheese from the fridge, I accidentally knocked over a can of Pepsi, it exploded and covered me in soda. 
Thankfully it was before I took a shower, but it felt soooo gross!!!!! 
I was making a pre-workout snack, so I changed my clothes and wiped down my legs down before I worked out. EVIL !
At least the snack was worth it. 1/2 cup Friendship 1% cottage cheese (90 cal) and 1 medium banana (110 cal) cut in half with 1 TBSP Naturally More peanut butter (85 cal) spread in between to make a banana sandwich:
Yummy pre-WO snack for just 285 calories.
When I first woke up, I was really hungry and craving tuna or salmon in a wrap. I decided on 3oz Trader Joe’s no salt added wild Alaskan (90 cal) mixed with 17g Hellmann’s olive oil mayo and 1 TBSP Bolthouse Farms blue cheese dressing (35 cal) on 1 La Tortilla Factory low carb wrap (80 cal) with green leaf lettuce and tomato:
On the side I had 1 vanilla Chobani yogurt (120 cal) with fresh blueberries and 7g Uncle Sam’s original cereal
SO good! Exactly the taste/texture I was going for. 
I estimate the wrap + yogurt to be around 500 cals.
My workout today consisted of:
- 30 minutes of homemade obstacle course as a warm-up
- Lower body strength training (my legs are sore now!!)
- 20 minutes recumbent bike (5.5 miles)
- Another 30 minutes of obstacle course
Before I went downstairs, I made a bowl of 49g Cracklin’ Oat Bran (200 cal) with 4oz skim milk (45 cal) to sit in the fridge for when I got done working out. I know this might seem yucky to some people, but I swear it’s delish! I like crunchy cereal, but I also like it mushy, when it soaks up the milk. By the time I got done working out, it was just the way I wanted it; mushy and creamy:
It’s like eating sweet, cold oats. Next time I’ll add some fruit to kick it up a notch, but for 245 calories, this tided me over until I made a real meal after my shower.
After I was fresh and clean and smelling nice once again, I went to work on dinner/post-workout meal #2.
Grilled chicken tenders with grilled yellow squash, a smallish boiled red potato topped with Fage Total 0% yogurt and Trader Joe’s no salt added salsa and 1oz olive ciabatta bread
It was after midnight when I started making all of this, so I opted for the indoor grill instead of the outdoor one. No need to have our neighbors know think we’re crazy. 
Before I took a shower, I put the potatoes on the stove in a pot of water and by the time I got done, they were done too! Perfect timing. The chicken and squash were super simple, too. I sliced the squash, then put them in a bowl and tossed them in 1 TBSP EVOO (120 cal). The chicken fingers I put in between 2 pieces of saran wrap and pounded them out to make them a little thinner. Then I added them to a bowl and coated them in 1 TBSP EVOO, also. I grilled the squash first, then the chicken, which only took a few minutes — always a plus when you are HUNGRY and getting tired.
I sprinkled a little bit of Cabot 50% reduced fat cheddar cheese over the potato and chicken, too. Mmmmmmmm!
Wow, this was an EXCELLENT meal! I am STUFFED!! I don’t know the exact calories, but I’d estimate all of this to be around 500-550 calories at the most. Deeeeeeeeelightful!
Aunt Flo kicked my butt all weekend. 
I didn’t cook much of anything for a few days and mainly tried to eat whatever we had leftover and/or in the freezer being we are moving soon. I did get a few things from the store though. Gotta have that fresh produce! And blueberries were on sale @ Shop Rite for just $1.49 a pint! I got 3 pints, so expect to see a lot of blue stuff on the blog this week LOL.
I’m exhausted! Time to go teepies. ZzzzZzzZZZzzzzzzzz~~~
