10:30am Breakfast: Seeing as how it was a Saturday, I'm surprised I was up in time for breakfast! Scrambled eggs with spinach and red peppers for me! I made my boyfriend, James, the same but subsituted the red peppers for tomatoes. If you find that your food is starting to taste bland, experiment with different spices. I added parsley and cilantro to mine.2:00pm Lunch: We were out and about running errands all afternoon which really made the time fly. It also left us hungry, miles from our apartment, and there was no way his grumbling tummy would make it. We stopped at Old Blinking Light in the Highlands Ranch Town Center. I want that giant blue antler chandilier they have when you first walk in... Anyways, James had to "break the code" he called it, and opted for a small 4 piece pizza. He claimed it was because he needed to carbo-load for his soccer game tomorrow. Yeah yeah. ;] Granted he is a 6'3" soccer player and MMA fighter, so his addition to the plan may have been warrented. I scoured over the menu to try to find something I could eat, and it was NOT easy. I ended up with the bowl of butternut squash bisque, with the gluten free option. It was a huge bowl, so I do have some left over.
6:00pm Snack: We split a container of fresh raspberries, which is about a small closed handfull each. Just enough to tide us over until dinner.
9:00pm Snack Attack: By this time our sweet tooths kicked in. Luckily we went grocery shopping earlier in our errand run, so we were stocked on fresh, organic fruit. Around a cup of grapes each and our sweet tooth was actually curbed.
I think because we did a lot more running around and keeping busy today, our apetites were a bit more ravenous than usualy. Overall it was a productive day and good food choices were made all around!
