Oats for Dinner!
I was definitely in need of a good workout this morning, as yesterday I didn’t eat too healthy!! (Pizza from Smitty’s Tavern, and a mango margarita and bbq tofu taco from bombers, and some chocolate cake from Crisan…as well as wine on Friday night… :-D) But today I definitely did better! I had some cereal for breakfast (I usually eat Special K Protein Plus, with some toasted wheat germ and soy milk) and then headed to the gym to do some running. I consider Sundays my long run days. I know I need to make up for bad weekend eating and try to stick to healthy eating on Sundays. Anyway,…

Mac and Cheese Overload
I started today off great with a delicious breakfast cookie!!! I was surprised at how good this was, with so few ingredients. Yummy. I got inspired by this post on Runner’s Kitchen. I’m so glad I tried it too. I also made a smoothie to go with it…a handful of frozen strawberries, a scoop of chocolate protein powder and about ¾ cup of light soymilk. It tasted like chocolate covered strawberries. A perfect breakfast! So this past week was pretty boring with food…I didn’t go out any place special, except for Monday night. I got sushi at Shogun in Delmar. I used to LOVE sushi, but lately my taste for…

Co-Op, Justins, and First GM
Ah, the weekend of somewhat unhealthy eating. I usually try extremely hard to make good decisions while eating out during the weekend, but it can be tough sometimes. Saturday I went to the Honest Weight Food Co Op for the first time. Its located on Central Avenue in Albany. It was a little bit intimidating at first, because I had no clue where anything was, but after a while I got used to it. I had my little list and found mostly everything I was looking for! Smooth Roasted Almond Butter Toasted Wheat Germ Whole Grain/Quinoa Blend Good Earth Pomegranate Superfruit Tea (I had a coupon!) Unsweetened Honest Tea “Just…

Pizza and Wine
So, tonight I was in the mood for some pizza, but not the UNHEALTHY kind, so I made up a couple of pita pizzas for dinner. I remember this idea from when my mom was on Weight Watchers years ago, and she used to make mini pizzas with pita bread for the crust. I started doing the same thing when I began eating healthier. I use Joseph’s Whole Wheat & Flax Pitas for the crust, plain pizza sauce, and low-moisture part skim mozzarella cheese. I topped them with some red pepper and sundried tomato. So yummy! Defintely helped my pizza craving! To go with my pizza, I had to have…

A Lovely Saturday
The weather this weekend has been pretty nice, so I decided to take advantage of it! Saturday morning Chris and I went to the Troy Farmer’s Market to see what it was all about. During the winter it is inside the Atrium, but in the summer it is outside by the river, and I can’t wait to go to that. But it was pretty cool despite being inside. They had some decent vendors — lot of meats and cheeses. I was looking for goat cheese but didn’t find any…next time I will ask. Chris amd I each got two bottles of wine from the Cascade Mountain Winery (New York wine! yay!) I got…
