So little time
Posted by trustmyintuition under Breakfasts, Dinner, Exercise, Lunch | Tags: burrito, oat bran, tortilla |I wish the days were longer. Maybe like five hours longer or something, so I could get more accomplished, or at least feel like it. I never feel like I get anything done! I’m always running around like a crazy person! So, I need to make this post a quick one because I have lots of preparing to do for tomorrow’s clinical! We are doing baths tomorrow, and I am nervous
I made it around very well on the buses today! It was very crazy, but I am quite impressed with myself and now know what I am doing! Today started with a bowl of oat bran. I made a serving (1/3 cup) with water, 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk, a sliced banana, 1 tbsp flaxseed meal, 1 tbsp walnuts, 1 tbsp agave nectar, cinnamon, and a spoonful (about a tbsp) of PB. Yummy! 510 calories, 19 g fat, 15 g fiber, and 18 g protein.
I made it home early enough to have lunch (I am going to try to avoid packing my lunch because it’s more fun and relaxing to eat at home). I finished off the rest of my red cabbage salad and had a PB and strawberry preserves on sprouted wheat, a kiwi, and some fresh blueberries. This lunch was 564 calories, 21 g fat, 18 g fiber, and 20 g protein.
Sorry for the bad phone pic
I went to the gym at 5:00 for a 45 minute cardio workout (30 minutes running, 15 minutes ET) plus stretching and some pushups. For dinner I thought of something quick, and it turned out amazing! While I was cooking I had some baby carrots. For the meal I heated up 1/4 cup navy beans, 1/2 yellow bell pepper diced, 1 plum tomato diced, some FYH mozzarella, and diced red onion in a skillet with hot sauce and lemon juice. I put the in a sprouted grain Ezekiel tortilla with 1/2 an avocado and had a salad on the side with romaine, the other half of the bell pepper, and salsa. I loved this meal. The burrito? was excellent and hit the spot for sure! It was very messy because I overstuffed it as usual, but that makes it fun! haha. Dinner was 539 calories, 23 g fat, 18 g fiber, and 18 g protein. My total calories for the day are a bit low, but I am not hungry and it’s almost nine o’clock. I am waking up at 5 am (YIKES!) and want to be hungry for a meal as well! Have a good humpnight!
P.S. ED&BV should be here any day.. I’m so excited!! Also, I applied at my local grocery store to work in the floral department. The hospital offered me another job in ER registration, but I would be working until midnight, and that’s not such a great idea if I have to get up at 5 am on Thursdays! I will be able to pick my hours working in the store (I’ve worked there before for 2.5 years as a cashier!)!

I hate it when I come up low on calories but am so full! It’s a horrible feeling. =(

I hear ya - 24 hours is NOT a long enough rotation… there need to be more hours!!
Your meals ALWAYS look fabulous - yum!
I know how you and Romina feel, about coming up short on calories and not having an appetite :0( Oh well.
Best of luck on tomorrow’s clinical!

I just want you to know that I’m accumulating a list of your recipes to make for myself. They just look so darn good!
Being low on calories and full is always a tough call. Just do what feels right and hope for the best. Hope you find more time in the day

Your dinner looked so delicious and easy to prepare. I’ll have to try it out!
When I wind up a little short on calories, but I’m full, I always err on the side of being short. I feel terrible when I’m too full.

Haha I completely agree with you- sometimes I feel the same way…. I too feel like I run around all crazy and it would really help to just have a few extra hours in the day!
Your dinner looks great!

The burrito looks great! I was worried because I overstuff mines always, but apparently it is the way to go! hehe

Oh my gosh I always wish there were more hours in a day. I love waking up early for some extra hours! Your oatmeals always look so good I bought some rolled oats and pumpkin to give it a try

Danielle-
You’re welcome! Good luck with your blog! I enjoy reading
Full but short in calories-
I ended up being short in calories. I thought about it, and really this is all about eating intuitively! Eat when you’re hungry, don’t eat when you’re not. Our bodies know best, and I am striving to listen to mine since is my ultimate goal.
I love reading all of your comments! They really make blogging worthwhile, and I really appreciate them.
