Monday Monday

Hey friends!!!   Hopefully your Monday was as calm, and uneventful as mine was.

Not too much to report so we'll just jump right into the food...

As always, I start my day by drinking 24oz of water on the way to work, and follow that with 2 cups of coffee with cream

Breakfast this morning was 1 slice Sara Lee Delightful Whole Grain, topped with 1 tbsp whipped peanut butter

Lunch was 4oz shredded chicken breast, topped with 2tbsp Sweet Baby Rays Honey Chipotle bbq sauce.  This is my lunch of choice for the week.  I put it on the top half of a whole wheat hamburger bun.  Very filling!

Afternoon snack was 1 Fit and Active String Cheese and 2 Simm's Turkey sticks

I also had 2 Starbursts in there somewhere...

Dinner was a small cobb salad (when I find something I like, I tend to go through phases and eat it everyday, can ya tell??)  and a 4 oz piece of Barramundi.  I LOVE Barramundi!!

Barramundi is a flaky white fish, also known as "Asian Seabass"

I can only seem to find Barramundi at Schnuck's.  It comes in a bag like this, and is located in the freezer section with the other fish. I usually only like fresh fish, but this stuff is awesome.  A bag of 3 filets ( pictured) is $8.99.  Not too terrible for 3 meals.

The good thing about Barramundi is that it has a natural buttery flavor, so spray some non-stick spray in a pan, and "pan fry" on the stove, on medium heat.  I cook mine for about 4 minutes on each side.  I think there are directions on the bag as well.


I found this at Wal-Mart last week...  and they're EXCELLENT!  I love sorbet, and these are perfect individual sizes.  I plan to have one this evening for a snack so that I stay out of Grace's Easter candy.



Located in the same aisle as the applesauces and pudding cups, it was $2.99, and comes with 4 little cups.  It also comes in Orange and Peach flavors.

Tonight at the gym, I got in 30 minutes of cardio.  I didnt feel like a run, so I only went a mile then moved to the elliptical.   I also worked 30 minutes on my arms/back/shoulders for a total of 666 calories burned
