Fiber-filled Day

by Jenn (j3nn.net) on June 28, 2009

By the time I was done with breakfast, I pretty much filled my fiber quota for the day. :shock: I woke up hungry, but not wanting to eat too much being I didn’t plan to workout immediately. So, I had a small snack of 1 slice Ezekiel 4:9 low sodium sprouted grain bread (80 cal) with 1 TBSP Naturally More peanut butter (85 cal):

Then right before I got ready to go on a walk in the driveway, I had a great big bowl of Simply Fiber cereal 1.5 servings, 150 cal) with 1 cup Calorie Countdown fat free milk (45 cal) and about half a pint of fresh blueberries:

Oh, and I sprinkled 1 packet Truvia 0 cal sweeteners over the berries and cereal. Simply Fiber cereal doesn’t have any added sugar, so it could use a little flavoring.

This held me nicely through my workout for around 250 calories.

Then I headed outside to walk in the driveway. I intended to do 60 minutes of walking, but exactly 30 minutes into my driveway trot, it started to rain. :( So, I went inside and did another 30 minutes of walking/step board in my obstacle course, followed by upper body strength training and 20 mins/5.5 miles on my recumbent bike.

When I came upstairs, I drank a bottle of Vitaminwater 10, then finished helping mom make my post-workout meal, which was also lunch for everyone else. She husked and steamed the corn while I steamed a bag of frozen string beans and grilled salmon burgers inside. I picked up a package of freshly made salmon burgers from the seafood department at Shop Rite, thinking there was 4 patties, but when I opened it, I discovered that there was only 2 HUGE patties. So, I remade them into 3 smaller ones and ate mine on 2 slices Ezekiel 4:9 low sodium sprouted grain bread (160 cal) with lots of red onion, fresh spinach leaves and a big blob of Sabra hummus:

The whole bag of steamed string beans were tossed in 1 TBSP EVOO and red wine vinegar with chopped red onion. I also rubbed REAL butter on the corn. Yummmmmm! I used about 1 TBSP of butter on all 3 ears of corn, so a little went a long way and it tasted soooo good!!

EXCELLENT post-workout meal for around 700 calories, give or take. This actually kept me FULL for over 5 hours!! :o Later on in the day, I was up to around 1200-1300 calories and starting to feel very hungry, but couldn’t decide what to make. So many choices, but I was also getting sleepy, so I decided on a great big salad with hard boiled eggs. Easy peasy!

  • ~3 cups mixed baby greens coated with 1 teaspoon EVOO (40 cal), red wine vinegar and 1 TBSP Bolthouse Farms blue cheese dressing (35 cal)
  • ~1/4 cup peas
  • ~1/4 cup grape tomatoes
  • A little white onion
  • ~1/4 cucumber
  • 2 large cage free hard boiled eggs (150 cal)
  • 28g Sabra hummus (70 cal)
  • 14g goat cheese crumbles
  • On the side: 1 Joseph’s pita bread (60 cal), toasted

OMG! SOOOO GOOD! And so pretty, isn’t it? :) Loved it! Then I ended the day on a sweet note:

85g Stonyfield Farms vanilla frozen yogurt (100 cal) with 10g Gefen raspberry syrup (20 cal) and 7g Nestle mini chocolate chips (35 cal):

Deeeeeelicious! For only 155 calories, this is a yummy summer night treat. Though, I’d eat it in the winter, too! LOL

Off to watch The Jacksons: An American Dream on TVLand with hubby now! It’s a 5 hour miniseries. :shock: I’ve seen it several times already, but it’s worth seeing again and again. :D
