Back to Basics

Yesterday was a little too exciting with all that eating out, so today was a very basic day. Here goes:

Pre-breakfast:
same as always

Breakfast:
same as always plus one slice fat free cheddar (which I actually really like)

Lunch:
88 g kale
60 g mustard greens
1 carton organic lowfat peachy peach yogurt, 130 cals (my ride to work got here early so I had to grab a carton instead of putting together my plain and salsa -- had to catch a ride in with Edward cause my brakes were getting replaced -- life extentionists do not drive around on bad brakes, especially not when one is picking up the man of one's dreams at the airport in just a few days!)
106 g olives

Dinner:
half a cup of eggwhites
1 teaspoon flax oil
1 tablespoon brewers yeast
85 g brussels sprouts
all stirred together into a little scramble -- yum!
150 g olives

I just brewed some coffee to keep me up for my meeting at 8 pm. I get up so early that I really like to be settling down for bed between 9 and 10. But when I have a meeting, I have a meeting, so up I am. I'll probably get home at around 10:30 or 11, since these meetings tend to go two hours and it's at least a half hour home. At least my car is freshly inspected and has new brakes!

Onward, olive eaters.

The strawberry blond girl needs her olives! Some 1.5 kilos of Turkish ones are airbound now for her, hoping not to be stopped at the customs...

April,

Your blog is motivating me to eat healthier just because your recipes are so easy to prepare.
You've got me eating kale and mustard greens salads and Leek and cauliflower soup. I can't seem to manage all those egg whites though. A half cup is my limit.
