…and identical to that it’s 2012 once more and I’m downloading my fuzzy digital digicam pictures to affix the blogger world hyperlink up for one more What I Ate Wednesday. Good instances, good instances.
Typically again then I’d checklist macro and calorie counts, and typically not. I’ve gone by way of my justifiable share of counting issues in terms of meals (macros, diabetic exchanges once I was a well being coach, and even protein and fiber).
Nevertheless, at present I’m not counting something. I’m prioritizing protein and fiber, however l-i-v-i-n, too. I hold pondering I ought to do one other CGM simply to verify in on my blood sugar (as a result of these are the sorts of issues I do “for enjoyable”), however actually don’t really feel excited to pop one on throughout this present warmth wave.
Have you ever seen the memes of “I’d do something for my well being… however giving up espresso on an empty abdomen very first thing isn’t one among them” – similar. The humorous factor is I really choose tea, however since we brew a pot of 1/3 caffeinated, it’s simply simpler so as to add a splash of half and half and pour from the pot. It’s fairly an pleasant little routine.
In the summertime breakfast comes later as a result of morning chores take precedence. I attempt to get to the backyard and typically the chickens earlier than the warmth, so breakfast is served at any time when I get to it. The ladies make their very own often, however I nonetheless make David’s day-after-day. It’s a little bit love you, boo gesture I take pleasure in attending to do.
Proper now we’re consuming plenty of backyard zucchini and cucumbers. Breakfast is usually zucchini and onion, eggs, cottage cheese or yogurt, and fruit. Plus fiber, cod liver oil, and vitamin D.
Late morning two buddies came visiting to exercise. I used to be feeling snacky forward of time so had a brilliant regular and applicable snack to gasoline my exercise – leftover beef stir fry. 😉
Then had my typical creatine and pre-workout combo in my chrome steel shaker bottle, adopted by sipping on aminos throughout the exercise. I don’t love my present pre-workout powder and assume I’ll be going again to Simply Substances. Their sampler pack is so good and handy.
The afternoon handed in summer season vogue. H was enjoying with buddies. Okay was within the kitchen with me baking cookies. I used to be making an attempt yet one more pickle recipe. This time straight from the Ball Meals Preservation ebook. I shall report again on the finish of summer season what the right pickle recipe is or cry making an attempt.
I made hen salad (from the hen I canned!), ate it with (no shock right here) cucumbers, and had a pair cookies, too, to assist with high quality management in fact.
We’re on the level in summer season the place I conceal from the solar between the hours of midday and about 4:30, so when that window closed, I caught my hen within the fridge to marinate and took a golf cart load of children to the pool and joined plenty of different neighbors that had an identical thought. Late afternoon/early night pool time is my jam.
We acquired again residence round 6:30 and shortly boiled pasta, grilled hen, and cooked up (one other) zucchini to take pleasure in some marinated hen and noodles earlier than the youngsters had buddies over for a “late over” (all of the enjoyable of a sleepover however everybody sleeps in their very own beds at residence). I ate just a few extra bites of hen salad whereas I cooked as a result of I used to be hangry.
Aspect observe: I exploit this 8c batter bowl with lid continually. The distinction? It has etched, not printed, measurement markings so that they gained’t wash off over time. I like the scale (for marinating meats, storing reduce veggies for supper prep, batter in fact), the deal with, and the truth that it has a lid.
The gaggle of children watched The Pink Panther and ate Kaitlyn’s cookies whereas we chatted with buddies upstairs and watched some soccer. Twas a enjoyable, summer-feeling sort of day.
What didn’t make the submit however ought to? The BLTAs I’m planning on making at this time with home made sourdough and my first TOMATOES FROM THE GARDEN. Just a bit excited over right here 😉
