What I Was [Convinced] to Eat Wednesday
If you follow me on twitter, then maybe you saw my tweet about this.
(What? You don’t follow me on twitter? Really? Then click here and do it.)
My dinner Monday night was actually kind of funny. After a 3 hour Monk marathon on Netflix, the man-friend was hungry, and suggested we go to Subway. I’m totally cool with Subway. That’s in my “I-can-eat-this-and-not-hate-myself” category. But then on our way he suggests we also get milkshakes. I whined something like “ohh I had Mexican food for lunch, I shouldn’t have a milkshake with dinner.”
He says:
“You’re perfectly healthy! You’re acting like you need to lose weight. Stop it and eat a milkshake with me.”
Point taken. What’s so bad about relaxing and eating a freakin milkshake?
Nothing. And yes, we got fries with that.
Anyways, since that wasn’t all I ate, lets jump into the link party! Thanks Jenn!
So this is what the rest of the day looked like!
Breakfast:
I decided to switch it up a little and try Kashi Cinnamon cereal
Have you had this stuff yet? It’s pretty good. I love Fiber One, but I wanted something with a little extra protein. So I tried not to let the higher-than-usual calorie count throw me off. I like it. It’s super crunchy, and a little sweet. Ok, a lot sweet. But that’s how I like it.
Lunch:
Since I had Monday off, I went out to lunch at Plaza Azteca with my name-twin Liz. (Love you, Liz!) She’s gluten-free, so we usually go for Mexican, since there are lots of options for both of us.
I had a MASSIVE dish of vegetarian fajitas. So much so, that I had leftovers for lunch on Tuesday. Holy yum. I love me a plate of veggies. I didn’t use the tortillas, but I did end up using the beans and rice.
But since I’m like the worst-food-blogger-ever. I didn’t take a picture. I don’t even really have a picture that looks close.
This is the best I’ve got.
Sorry. But that ^^ is also super delicious. Click here for the recipe.
Dinner:
Well, you saw the milkshake. But I also ate a veggie sub, courtesy of the Subway sandwich artist.
Veggies + sweet onion sauce = amazing.
And that, is what I ate on Monday. I wish I could have shown you yesterday’s dinner too. I went to a Japanese steakhouse for work. I desperately wanted to take pictures, but… it wasn’t the best scenario to play food paparazzi.
i haven’t tried kashi go lean crisp, but am obsessed with KGL crunch. literally. i can’t even keep it in the house!
a big piece of carrot cake (or any dessert for that matter) is my go to “letting go” food!
favorite splurge food is somethign cheesey! i love cheese but it hurts my stomach so if I eat it I have to be extra careful.
Your man is awesome…. he is so great for giving you a bit of an extra push! Having a person to help you with this is just so helpful 🙂
I love that new kashi too, it’s tasty! 🙂
Your man is the bomb and he’s so right– you’re a perfectly healthy gal and deserve occasional milkshakes! Woo!!
For me its always pasta. I tend not to be that bothered about it but when I’m relaxing my usual eating habits a big bowl of pasta just has to be had!
ice cream! 😀
Ok, hold the phone- how did I not know this Kashi cereal existed yet??? Gah!
I JUST saw it at Target over the weekend! I think it’s new! Definitely check it out, it’s delicious. (I like the regular Go Lean Crunch too, but I think this one is even better!)
Lots and lots of chocolate and cake…yum!
I’m totally with you on the milkshake thing in that I resist. It helps that I am lactose intolerant but I do love a good milkshake from time to time. A veggie sandwich sounds incredible right now…
My favorite thing to eat when I am taking a break is Doritos and a bacon toaster thingy from Sonic. I go all the way…then its back to my lifestyle. [sigh]
Hahaha I don’t even know what a bacon toaster thing is from Sonic but I’m sure it’s pretty awesome 😉
Dude I love your man. Good for him for telling you to enjoy a milkshake! And he’s totally right, you ARE healthy. Enjoy a milkshake every once in a while 😉
