Breakfast: spinach artichoke frittata w/ an almond meal and thyme crust. ‘‘Twas OK.
Lunch: big old Southwestern salad with all the things
Snack: almonds
Dinner: chicken skewers, hamburger on lettuce wrap w/ cheese, tomatoes, mustard. Lots of fresh veg. Passed on ice cream cake...that was hard.
Workout: 6 miles. Hit my groove at mile 4 and could have kept going for a long while.
Dinner: this beaut from my bestie in NC. Eggplant, onions and garlic, tomatoes, spices...over cauliflower rice. Surprisingly filling! 
Workout: 3 mile run, plus bathing Owen and Felix. (It totally counts.) Felt a LOT better today and the three miles went by easily. 6 planned for tomorrow—hopefully we’re over the hump!
Breakfast: this
Lunch: this (well, half of this)
Snacks: pistachios; a few pieces of chicken breast as I prepped dinner
Dinner: steak, roasted zucchini w/ Parmesan, roasted broccoli, raw veg. I probably ate 2 zucchini’s worth of zucchini.
Workout: day off. I took a nap and generally embraced the sluggishness. Apparently two low days are expected so here’s hoping tomorrow levels out a bit. For someone who doesn’t eat refined carbs and generally eats pretty healthy I’m surprised at how blah I feel with this single change. I’ll be ready to eat some fruit and brown rice again, but I’m taking notes too.
Breakfast: soft-boiled eggs and avocado over sautéed kale. Topped w/ sriracha Mayo. Coffee w/ collagen.
Workout: 6 miles. Sluggish and hard today.
Lunch: massive salad w/ veg, chicken, avocado, cheese, Albion salsa ;) and dressing.
Snack #1: almond milk, pea pods, pecans
Snack #2: pistachios
Snack #3: an apple. Because I couldn’t stand it anymore and was so drop-dead out of it I wasn’t thinking clearly. Much better within an hour. Carbs matter friends. Back to your regularly scheduled eating plan...
Dinner: Date Night In: Mussels in a fennel cream sauce; arugula salad w/ mustard vinaigrette. Gibson on the side. I finally feel kind of full.
Snack #4: bowl of raw veg to crunch before bed.
Here’s to more energy tomorrow...
Whoops. Forgot to post this yesterday. Completely aware that these are the most boring posts for anybody who reads this. It's for my own reference/posterity. :)
Breakfast: Leftover roasted Brussels, bacon, pecans, balsamic. Peapods. Coffee w/ collagen.
Lunch: Southwestern salad (greens, pork, avocado, peppers, cherry tomatoes, salsa, southwestern dressing). Shaken not stirred. ;)
Snack: Pistachios
Dinner: Arugula salad w/ shredded cabbage, chicken, pecans, goat cheese, and a lemony sunshine dressing.
Workout: 2.5 slow run; walk outdoors with the kids. Took it easy for tomorrow's (Wednesday) long run.
Breakfast: omelet w/ avocado, swiss, and leftover roasted veg from supper. Didn’t feel as hungry mid-morning today, for whatever reason.
Lunch: roasted Brussels sprouts w/ bacon, toasted pecans, and balsamic. Plus fresh veg (pea pods, carrots, cucumbers, grape tomatoes); cold brew w/ almond milk.
Snack: celery w/ almond butter
I accidentally popped a squishy strawberry in my mouth when slicing a quart for the boys’ supper. Whoops!
Dinner: Hamburger w/ cheese and avocado. Salad w/ lemon dressing and more salad w/ roasted fennel and anchovy dressing.
Workouts: 4 mile run; 2.5 mi hike. Run took a bit to get going, but then fine. Hike felt suuuuper easy, including some steep elevation.
Breakfast: omelette with avocado, sautéed spinach, and cheese. Filling in theory. Starving by 10AM.
Lunch: leftover meatballs and sauce; spaghetti squash. Inhaled. Felt nice and drowsy afterward. Insert Sunday afternoon nap...
Dinner: Favorite arugula salad w/ roasted broccoli and peppers, chicken, avocado, feta, pepitas, sun-dried tomatoes w/ adobo balsamic dressing. Very happy.
Workout: Plyometrics (cross training day) Not running isn’t as much fun, but the workout was fine. So far feeling good and not grumpy from lack of carbs/sugar. Onward!
