Today did not go as planned. It was good, and busy and I accomplished a lot, but it was not the way I was thinking it was going to be. I was hoping to have a nice relaxing last day of summer before school starts tomorrow, but what was I thinking? I had a ton of things to do – all of which took time! After breakfast, I left home thinking I would be back in PLENTY of time for lunch around noon. At 3:00pm, when I finally got home, I was starving! I feel more settled than I did this morning, so hopefully my week will go a little smoother now that I am prepared!
When I did get home, I could barely wait to eat but wanted something fresh. I decided on a turkey sandwich because it was quick, filling and “clean”. It included everything I could find:
- shaved smoked turkey
- 2 slices of sprouted wheat bread
- tomato
- avacado
- hummus
- lettuce
- cucumber
- mustard
It was huge and I ate it about 3 minutes.
I told you it was big! It might have filled me up if I would have slowed down a little bit, but I was still hungry so I made another slice of toast and topped it with 2 Tbsp. albacore tuna with hummus and veggies. The tuna was left from Brady’s lunch so it was ready in the fridge.
And while I was busy chowing down, I was cooking some famous kale chips as a side. I shredded the kale from the stalk, sprayed with a little olive oil cooking spray, tossed on some parm and threw them in the oven to crisp.
It was only after eating these and drinking at about 40oz. of water was I satisfied and full! That was a good lesson in remembering to pack emergency snacks!
