Day 4

Good afternoon everyone!
I had a very energetic day today, I managed to clean the house for my company who is coming this weekend and next week! I did it all with the kids in the house!

I want to share my most favorite lunch of ALL time! My Pasta Salad using Ideal Protein Rotini.

drool

 This awesome meal helps get in your 2 cups of veggies. With its bright colours, it looks and smells like summer.
What I use is...

• Cucumber
• Coleslaw (pick out the carrots)
• Orange and Yellow Peppers
• a pinch of Club House Pasta Salad Mix
• and equal parts Oil and Vinegar

Now you can measure out your veggies to what you like. I love lots of cucumber, and less peppers.









My issue of today was being aware of a mindless habit. I made my son a Ham, Cheese and Mayo wrap, after I prepared his lunch and handed it to him I did the unthinkable! I licked my fingers... and the knife! I would have never noticed the thoughtless act if there wasn't MAYO on my finger or the knife I used to spread with. ARGHH! that is a little habit that I will have to learn to control. Hopefully this didn't kick me out of Ketosis too bad. I found myself hungry in between lunch and dinner, so I decided to do situps. Every time I think I am hungry I drink 8oz water (I try to in one shot) and if I get that little man dressed in red on my shoulder whispering just eat a piece, or just have it... I treat myself with a set of 20. So instead of snacking while I'm bored, I replace it with a fitness activity.

For dinner I made homemade Meatballs.

raw

 In my meatballs there is...

• Lean Ground Beef
• Lean Ground Pork
• Onions
• and Walden Farms Honey BBQ Sauce

If you are not familiar with Walden Farms, they are a 0 cal, 0 carb, 0 sugar condiment supply. They don't taste as great as regular sauces (due to sugar) but I like to cook with them as a flavor. Walden Farms has a pancake syrup, if you haven't had the Ideal Protein Pancakes because of the no sugar rule try it! It is by far the best tasting item Walden Farms sells! in my humble opinion 
 

cooking

 Too cook my Meatballs I simply threw them on a frying pan and cooked it with the hamburgers natural oils (why add more fat when you don't need to?)










  

done!

and Volia! 
With my side order of Baked Asparagus this meal is complete!




Asparagus: 400° for 20 min with a bit of oil, salt and pepper

Note: The thinner the BETTER! the ends crisp up and mmmmm its like an asparagus french fry!





I hope everyone had a great day today with their fitness goals, and found a fitness muse. For tomorrows homework find a positive distraction, like the one I made to replace my boredom munchies. Perhaps go for a run, or go for a drive, read a book, or blast some music and dance!
