I started school this week (accelerated 6-week Micro class, here I come!), I'm still working at the pediatrician's office because my employer hasn't been able to replace me yet, and I start training for a new, school-friendly job this week. Oh, and I'm in contest prep.
This means I get up at 6am and don't stop until I go to bed at 9 or 10.
So I have been packing a TON of food.
Witness:
An egg, 1/2 cup egg whites, kale, summer squash, garlic, rosemary, oregano, and sea salt...eaten in my car on the way to school at the crack of dawn.
Chicken dressed with lemon pepper seasoning and oil, and yellow squash and zucchini topped with Mrs. Dash table blend. This was eaten during the drive from school to work.
Tilapia with Sarah's Sea Salt (Tuscan - best seasoning EVER) and oil, and cauliflower & broccoli with chili powder and paprika. This was eaten at work.
Chicken topped with chili powder, paprika, oregano, sea salt, red pepper flakes, a liiiittle garlic and oil, and green beans.
That is one ounce of plain almonds dusted in half a packet of Splenda, a tablespoon of cinnamon, and a teaspoon of nutmeg.
Favorite snack of the week? How has your week been? =)
I made myself a kind of frittata/egg veggie bake thing, sliced it up and have been eating it all week - so quick and easy to grab when I don't have time to cook!
ReplyDeletemmm I love frittatas!!
DeleteWow, you are busy!
ReplyDeleteThose almonds look nice, today I am going to try experiment in making my own Lara bars, not just for me but ones the kids will eat as snacks as well.
I've tried quite a few recipes for homemade Lara bars that have turned out just wonderfully! I hope yours come out well :D
DeleteNice food prep for the busy week! I'm always so in awe of you with how well you plan!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite snack this week has been Whole Foods' Strider's snack trail mix-- I've been eating that stuff by the buckets haha ;D
I loooove trail mix!! I saw that pic you posted of it - looks tasty!
Deleteoooo your snack sounds FAB :D I haven't done that yet! I will have to as I have been having almonds a lot lately too :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good!!! Give it a try :D
DeleteOh awesome that school started. I know you're probably covered up but it'll be so worth it in the end!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm trying to focus on!!!!!!! =)
DeleteGood idea with the almonds! And are you not eating grains/fruit/carbs anymore for contest prep reasons? Even post workout? Just curious :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything this week- you'll dominate your busy schedule!
I am still eating carbs post-workout...sweet potato and a piece of fruit and some beans =) These pics all just happened to be from an off day!!! =) No grains this prep though.
DeleteI'm curious what kind of a cooler you have? I know this sort of pack your nearly every meal with you type of lifestyle. It can be so hard and requires a lot of prep. My favorite thing is my cooler. It's huge and carries everything I need it's the REI personal cooler. In the reviews a guy shows with pictures what can be fit in there here is the link - you can often find it on sale or get a coupon. I got mine for about 10 bucks! http://www.rei.com/product/828510/rei-personal-cooler
ReplyDeleteDefinitely interesting! When my oversize lunchbox wears out I'll look into this as a replacement =)
DeleteI think traveling with food is a prep requirement...lol...that and eating in your car :)
ReplyDeleteT.
I feel BEYOND weird chowing down on chicken breast and veggies in my car haha. I feel like everyone's looking at me and thinking, "What in the WORLD is that girl doing?!?!?"
Deletei'm taking accelerated micro, too! boo for us! :) i love the diy flavored almonds idea - so essential for us frugal ladies! fav snack of the week - gotta be the smoothies in a bowl 'cause it's so darn hot!
ReplyDeletecongrats for all your hard work & determination!
It's sooo much cheaper to make them yourself!!! =)
DeleteDo you have other Mrs. Dash seasonings? They're all so awesome. I love the fiesta lime and the extra spicy!
ReplyDeleteI have the extra spicy buuut it's too spicy for me =( I know, I'm lame!! I want to find the fiesta lime though.
DeleteFavourite snack of the week would be a new chocolate bar I've had several times this week (oops. PMS!).
ReplyDeleteMy week has been sloooow. I think it's because we've had so many public holidays over the last few months that a full week feels really long!
That's always tough - I hate going back for a full week after a few short weeks!!!
DeleteBusy lady! Just catching up on posts and wanted to say that in your earlier post - you cleaned up nicely for that interview!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vanessa! =0)
DeleteYou are AWESOME, Sable! I get annoyed with packing lunch for work sometimes so I can only applaud the fact that you pack MULTIPLE meals daily. That sure is dedication :)! Favorite snacks of the week are either an apple with almonds or Greek yogurt with protein powder and pomegranate seeds!
ReplyDeleteThank you darlin!! =0) Mmmm I love Greek yogurt with a tasty protein powder mixed in =D
DeleteThose almonds look awesome. I'm glad to know someone else eats in their car...I swear my parents told me to just put a table in there and some placemats..
ReplyDeleteHAHA!! I hate eating in the car but these days I spend like 2 hours on the road!!!!
DeleteOh healthy pretty and varied meals! I admire your dedication to your plan and schedule. You tell the doc the deadline, he will get of his rump and hire the replacement. 6 week classes are intense. Holy high five Sable!
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for one lovely blogger award! :)
