GI Day Six

I originally woke up early to move my car and was cranky when I got back because it was cold, and I was exhausted. I went back to sleep until about 1pm, breaking my awesome streak of early and productive mornings.


Breakfast

• lite whole grain English muffin with low-sodium deli turkey
• almonds
• 1% milk

By the time I woke up I was much more in a lunch mood than breakfast, so I was glad to find this sandwich among the options. Quite fantastic.


Lunch

• chicken salad made with chicken breast and low-fat mayonnaise, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro on a whole grain flat bread
• dry roasted peanuts
• dried apricots
• 1% milk

What a fantastic sandwich! I had been rummaging in the cabinet recently searching for something, and I noticed a can of chicken breast left over from my Nutrisystem diet (I used to make chicken salad for my protein). I was pretty stoked to find a meal which would put it to good use.

This sandwich was incredibly tasty and admittedly, not something I would have made this way were I not on the diet. My usual inclination would be to slop the chicken with too much mayo on some kind of bread and be done with it. Adding the vegetables and taking care with the flat bread really made it a fantastic taste and texture combination.


Snacks & Dinner
kind of skipped

My boyfriend and I went out for a friend's birthday party, which lasted very late into the evening. In addition to many whiskey and diet Coke drinks, I had an appletini (I don't know why), a slice of a chicken quesadilla, half a package of Funny Bones, and my boyfriend and I split a late night order of nachos and a burrito. We danced and walked around a lot, but I know it was just drunken carelessness with my diet.

I'm going to be going on a short vacation tomorrow afternoon, so I can't really beat myself up for letting the diet slip. Also, it could have been a lot worse...
