It felt so good to sleep in until 6:30 am! I am usually up for work at 3:30 am, out of the house at 4:10 am, parked at work on the campus and walking to the gym on post at 4:45 am. My job has me in early and out early so I can hit the gym after work and still beat some rush hour traffic.
This morning I had 2 whole eggs with one egg white as an omelet with part skim ricotta cheese and 5 minis of apple and chicken sausage . Later for a snack I had a baked sweet potato. Lunch was a Healthy choice spicy Caribbean meal. For dinner I had a banana to start things off while I cooked Cous Cous with some raisins, asparagus, steamed baby carrots and Quorn chick’n nuggets.
The nuggets are pretty cool. They are meatless and soy free. They are made with some type of mushroom/fungus protein. These are hands down the best fake chicken nuggets I have ever had. My wife and I don’t get a lot of heavily processed chicken foods, we prefer fresh breasts and thighs. We don’t always have the time to make a great dinner and that is where food like this comes in handy. They look like fast food nuggets, they take 3 minutes to heat in the microwave and I mix a small amount of honey and mustard together to lightly dip them and wow they taste great. The consistency is right also. They feel like chicken as you chew them.
Today was a really long day. Exercise took the form of necessity. My car needed servicing so we dropped it off and walked home the 1.5 miles. There is a big hill (6 side streets off of it) to climb on the way home. Wow it was intense. Later when the vehicle was ready I walked back down to get it. that is 1 hour of walking to offset the 9+ hours of sitting in front of the computer trying to get all this blog stuff together. I am done! good night.
