Cheat day Tuesday?
I was really snacky on Tuesday! I am not sure what was up but I was in a little bit of a crave sugar mood ha! I definitely didn't venture TOO far from the eat clean path but I did venture out a little ha. I just felt like I used sweetner for quite a few things and then had a little treat with Dustin!
Meal 1- 1/2 cup oats (so 1 cup oatmeal) 1 tbsp peanut butter and chia seed, sliced strawberries, cinnamon and a little almond milk. Coffee w/ tsp of agave nectar and a splash of almond milk
Meal 2- no bake energy bar- I am gettin low on these guys! They are so good! Dangerously good!
Meal 3- 1 pretty large sweet potato topped with 2 tsp agave and 1/2 cup cottage cheese w/cinnamon
Meal 4- mini size fat free frozen yogurt. This was my "cheat meal". So really not too bad! It probably had only about 100-150 cals. A few hours later I had a large grapefruit
Workout- 60 min spin class! Pretty tough class!
Meal 5- 1 1/2 cups of tuna bean pasta (check out the recipe below!)
Meal 6- 1/2 cup uncle sam flax cereal with a few raisins and almond milk
Tuna Bean Salad
Meal 1- 1/2 cup oats (so 1 cup oatmeal) 1 tbsp peanut butter and chia seed, sliced strawberries, cinnamon and a little almond milk. Coffee w/ tsp of agave nectar and a splash of almond milk

Meal 5- 1 1/2 cups of tuna bean pasta (check out the recipe below!)
Meal 6- 1/2 cup uncle sam flax cereal with a few raisins and almond milk
Tuna Bean Salad
- 1 Box whole wheat pasta shells
- 1 can garbonzo beans ( I buy low sodium, but I still try to rinse the beans)
- 1 can water packed tuna
- Few tbsp canned sliced olives (I usually don't rinse these after draining)
- Handful or two of sliced bell pepper (I buy sliced peppers, but 1-2 pepper sliced would be about right)
- 1 tbsp pesto (optional- I had it lying around so I added a tbsp in place of one of the tbsp of olive oil)
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- Pepper to taste
Follow cooking directions for pasta on the box. Rinse and drain cans of beans and tuna. Add ingredients to cooked/drained pasta. Throw in the olives and peppers, tbsp of pesto and 2-3 tbsps olive oil. Squeeze lemon (watch for seeds!). Mix ingredients thoroughly and pepper to taste.
I usually add a tsp of olive oil drizzled on top when serving. I think that the olive oil gets down to the bottom of the bowl, or just gets absorbed so adding a little more just makes it a little less dry. Feel free to sprinkle on some parm or feta ( I do for Dustin).

Marvelous Monday!
I was nervous about work on Monday because I was totally out of my comfort zone but it ended up being a really really great day! Thank goodness! Also on a side note...Sunday I made a TO.DIE.FOR shrimp and pesto pizza from Oxygen magazine. Check out the recipe posted below!
Meal 1- 1/2 cups oats (so 1 cup oatmeal after cookin) 1 tbsp chia and peanut butter, sliced strawberries, coffee with agave nectar and a splash of almond milk
Meal 2- 1/2 cup cottage cheese, about 1/2 cup blackberries and a little drizzle of honey
Meal 3- 1 piece of shrimp and pesto pizza (sooooo gooooooood) apple slices with cinnamon
Meal 4- handful of baby carrots with 2 tbsp peanut butter
Meal 5- no bake energy bar from the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook
Meal 6- 1/2 cup rice, 1 cup mixed veggies, 1 egg white and 1 egg, 1 flax seed oil (maybe a little more, I just finished the last little bit in the bottle) a little soy sauce and chia seed
I also had a cup o tea with about a tsp agave nectar
Shrimp and Pesto Pizza (taken from Oxygen Magazine).
For this recipe I added some ingredients. I had sliced frozen peppers from TJ's so I used those. I also added thinly sliced roma tomato and put it directcly on the pesto. I added a few tbsp of olives and on half the pizza (Dustin's half ha) I added some fresh mozzerella cheese.
INGREDIENTS:
• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 recipe whole-wheat and flax pizza dough (recipe follows)
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat pesto
• 6 oz large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (approx 20 to 24 shrimp)
• 1/2 medium-sized red bell pepper, sliced
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Set baking rack in top third of oven. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Shape dough into a 12-inch round pan on prepared baking sheet. Spread pesto over dough. Top pizza with shrimp and pepper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cut into 8 slices and serve.
Whole-wheat and Flax-Meal Pizza Dough
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1/4 cup flax meal
• 1 tsp instant-rising yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit)
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, flax meal, yeast, sugar and salt. Stir in water and oil with a wooden spoon. When the dough starts to hold together, remove from bowl and knead by hand for 8 minutes (a standard mixer fitted with a dough hook makes this process much easier). Shape dough into a ball and return to bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise for one hour in a warm spot (70 to 80 degrees). Before baking, remove and knead dough for 5 or 6 strokes, then shape.

Monday Monday!
I worked on Sunday so I got monday and tuesday off this week! It's a nice little change! I still love my three day weekends but I really don't mind working a sunday here and there! So I wish I hadn't of loaned my book to my dad's wife! I feel like I need a little inspiration and a little review of the eat clean ways haha. I was pretty carby yesterday!

However white rice is generally not considered "clean" but I don't really buy that it's that bad for ya. I beleive our fave restaurant can substitute brown rice so next time that is what we will do.
Meal 4- salmon burger (no bun...these are good! They are from trader joe's) with spicy mustard, 1/2 sweet potato w/tbsp chia seed, asparagus spears with salt and pepper, I drizzled the sweet potato and asparagus spears with flax oil (less than a tbsp). Had a small glass of red wine :)

Thank God it's Thursday! I love that thursdays are my fridays! It's like the rest of the world still has one more day but not me! :) It was super slow at work and I got sent home at 430! Yikes!

I keep eating my snack because I am hungry haha! 1 -1 1/2 cups eggplant pasta (again with a little added oil for reheating). I brought an orange in hopes I would be more satisfied, but then I also ate my no bake energy bar. Hmmm...I think I will try to start taking a small side salad to see how that goes
Meal 4- handful of baby carrots and 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
Workout- 60 mins spin class! We did a lot of zone 4 work! Tough class!
Meal 5- I ate the other 1/2 of the spaghetti squash I made the other night. I mixed in a tsp flax seed oil, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp chia, a dash of soy sauce. The soy sauce really made the difference! It was delicious! I had a glass of wine with dinner! :)

Wacky Wednesday!
Ha! It truly was a wacky wednesday! I was soooooooooo exhausted! I was not very true to my eat clean ways! Ugh! Just dinner seemed to be a problem lol. I was so exhausted after work and found out as I was leaving that I had a flat tire. I just could not bare to make dinner when I got home. Sigh.....

Meal 4- handful of organic carrots, 2 tbsp natural pb
Meal 5- I had about a handful of baby tomatoes while I was waiting for Dustin to come help me fix my tire, I also walked across the street and bought a light jamba juice. It was mango, fat free dairy base, banana and other fruit...it had splenda in it which I do try to avoid
Meal 6- I shoveled in a no bake energy bar when I got home......so exhausted.
So truly today wasn't awful, but definitely not as balanced as I would have liked.

Snoozeday Tuesday!
I felt lazy on Tuesday ha! I skipped out on the morning spin class, and then Dustin and I just decided to be lazy until he had to work at 4 and I had girl's night with my ladies! Sometimes ya just have those lazy days I guess. :)
Meal 1 - 2 whole wheat biscuits, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, 1 tbsp chia, 1/2 cup blackberries, about a cup of almond milk, coffee w/ almond milk and a tsp agave nectar
Meal 2- handful of organic baby carrots and 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter
Meal 3- I made the no bake energy bars from the eat clean diet cookbook! So good! I used gluten free oats and I only used one heaping scoop of vanilla protein because the vanilla flavor is pretty strong so I didn't want it to be overpowering! They were a hit! Dusty liked them too! I originally made them for girls night, but Mind doesnt eat gluten free oats so more for me! :)
Meal 4- At Jaime's house! She made a delicious salad with lots of greens, strawberries, blackberries, rasberries, grapes, dried cranberries and slivered almonds! Used a little bit of Vidallia dressing (looked at the ingredients and they were pretty decent).
Workout- Ran for 35ish minutes. I tried to throw in some speed intervals as well.
Meal 5- 1/2 medium spaghetti squash, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, tbsp olive oil and chia seed. I used to eat this all the time but was diagnosed with a squash allergy like three years ago! Honestly I think it showed up as an allergy because I inhaled large amounts of squash everyday haha...so I gave it a test run!
Meal 6- Morning constiution muffin and handful of all bran (to ensure things move along in the morning ha!)
I slacked on water today drinking probably less than 2 liters...I also left my water bottle at Jaime's house! It's my little sidekick so I will have to go retrieve it soon! I always drink more water at work so today should be better!

Just another Monday at work! It was a stressful day and I was sooooooo glad that it was over come 7 o'clock at night ha!

Meal 3- cup of pasta with eggplant and mushroom sauce (taken from "the kitchen table" on eatclean.com!) and a roma tomato sliced up
Meal 4- 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter and large handful of baby carrots
Meal 5- bran muffin (morning constitutional muffins from eat clean diet recharged)
Meal 6- 1/2 cup of edamame, about 1-1/2 cups of peanutty soba noddles (eat clean diet recharged) tbsp chia seed and a little extra low sodium soy sauce!
I drank about 2.5-3 liters of water today and I didnt feel too snacky! The eggplant pasta might have been lacking a little protein (for some staying power) for me because I was definitely hungry in about 2 hours.

Meal 3- Out to lunch with mom! 1/2 of a sweet potato sandwhich with lettuce, tomato, fig compote on 9 grain bread. A side of fruit salad to round off the delish meal! Mmmmm!
Meal 4- 1/2 cup of nonfat plain yogurt, a few pecan halves, blackberries and a little touch of honey
Meal 5- 1/2 cup of rice, 2/3 cup of mixed veggies, 1/2 cup of egg whites to make my own delish fried rice. I added 1 tbsp chia, 2 tsp of sesame oil and a little low sodium soy sauce.
Meal 6- Most likely a yummy bran muffin from the eat clean diet recharged book or some all bran cereal!
I have had lots of water today! I would guess about 3 liters and I am still workin on it! I think I might have some blackberry tea sweetened with a little agave nectar before bed for a little treat! :)
Meal 1- My standard breakfast (at least until I get sick of it ha) 2 whole wheat biscuits, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, 1 tbsp chia seed, 1/2 banana, about a cup of unsweetened almond milk, cup of coffee with coconut creamer.

Saturday May 8th
Alrighty...not my typical day because I met some friends for sushi in the afternoon! This girl loves her sushi! :) I also posted a recipe for peanut soba noodles below! I followed the basic recipe for sesame noodles from Tosca's book, but made some changes with the ingredients I had on hand.
Meal 1- 2 whole wheat biscuits, 1tbsp natural sunflower seed butter, 1 tbsp chia seeds, sliced strawberries and about a cup of unsweetened almond milk, coffee w/ coconut milk creamer
Workout- 60 min spin class at lifetime fitness! I love this class!
Meal 2- Dustin and I were out window shopping for houses so I had a builder bar in the car
Meal 3- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter and a handful of baby carrots
Meal 4- 4 pieces of sashimi, small small small bowl of miso soup (left a lot of the broth) small bowl of salad with lightginger dressing, a little bit of white rice (they didn't have brown...darn).
Meal 5- 1/2 cup edamame and about 1-1 1/2 cups peanut soba noodles and tbsp chia seed
Meal 5- apple and small eat clean brownie from eat clean cookbook
*Today I drank about 2.5-3 liters of water
I was feeling pretty hungry today! Just a little snacky! I am finding that the builder bars are good if I need something quick but my blood sugar must drop pretty quickly because I get hungry within 90 mins or so.
