Breakfast, the same two days in a row!

Breakfast today and yesterday is leftover taco meat and cheese on corn tortillas with spinach and avocado and an apple on the side. Actually the pic is from yesterdays breakfast and I don't think I did avocado, there was enough leftover olive oil in the pan from muffin doing the same thing, but without the spinach and avocado and sandwiching the meat and cheese in between two tortillas. Also, muffin made me a giant vat of coffee! I was feeling pretty rough when I got up. Today too, but I'm perking up as the caffeine makes it's way into my system.

Yesterday crashed and burned in terms of timing. I had the best of intentions! Part of the deal with the meal plan I'm on, eating every 2-3 hours, 5-6 meals a day. I only had 4 or so and they were all way late. Breakfast was tasty but late. Then I headed out to my parents place in "T-town" late in the morning. I even packed a complete snack! (An apple, 2oz of hard cheese and 6 almonds). Of course I got to doing little jobs for them and then suddenly it was 3 hours past when I had eaten last, which is not bad, but I only ended up eating a small amount. Salad with cheese and nuts. Then we went for a walk which was supposed to be maybe an hour and ended up being 3 hours, we kept running into people and stopping to talk!
What do you do in these situations! I was quite happy to talk to lots of people I hadn't seen in a while, but I was also thinking about how off my schedule was getting. While I know that getting off a plan every now and again is ok, my life is often like this! We eventually got home and it was about dinner time, so I said goodbye and headed back into town as I had plans with friends. I ate my snack and off I went!

Went to a friends house for celebrating the spring equinox and there was lots of food. I did my best at the beginning eating a bit of chicken, some nuts, a piece of bread and some roasted veggies, but the chocolate and pile of bread was just so tempting. Oh well. Today I'm staying home to nurse my cold so food will be a bit more predictable. Also, the scale stayed about the same as yesterday 197.6!

Lunch and introducing Muffin!

Lunch today was two corn tortillas with a bit of deli meat, cheddar cheese, spinach and tomato, with apple on the side.

I made tacos for my muffin (my roommate, we call each other muffin) and I cause she was stressing about school. Organic ground beef, lettuce, tomato, mozza cheese and more avocado with cucumber on the side. Muffin ate her cucumber in her taco and commented that it wasn't bad, but it was more refreshing than a taco needed to be.

I'm realizing that my Mom, though she probably didn't know it, had the variety and proportion thing down. I'm eating much like I did when I lived at home. Of course she, like me, likes to snack on chips and sweet things so while I was a kid and only ate what was given to me, I was pretty friggen skinny. It was later on that I developed the tendency to eat when I was bored or as an escape.

After lunch I went for a walk so I could actually get out of the house for a bit. Had tea with a friend. I avoided ordering a fancy shmancy latte or mocha and got rooibos tea instead! On the way home I got more corn tortillas. Muffin is gluten intolerant so we go through a lot of them. I got the 5 dozen pack from dollar grocer. They don't sell them at stupid store and a lot of the big chain stores! It's stupid! I went into several and all they ever have is flour tortillas. I also got more veggies and some tofu. Maybe tomorrow I will venture away from the vast amounts of meat and cheese. Tofu stirfry? We shall see!
