I’m Hungry Today!

April 12, 20122 Comments

Well today’s been a great day, but I have been so hungry ALL DAY LONG!  In fact, I woke up starving.  Augghh.

Not good.

I think I’m hormonal or something.

Joy.

I’ve still been eating well, but I’ve been snackin’ a ton! 🙂

I was craving cereal for breakfast, so this is what I came up with…

A bowl of Uncle Sam mixed with Kashi Go Lean Crunch topped with blueberries (yum!) and a side of 4 egg whites + low sugar ketchup.

I usually just eat Kashi Go Lean (not Crunch) because the Crunch kind has a lot more sugar (12 grams!), but it tasted so good today.  It’s still a lot healthier than most cereals because it’s high in protein and fiber and full of “real” ingredients!  I love blueberries too.  I need to go buy some more!

Later on I had this for a snack…

Rasberry Chobani yogurt (love!) and 1 Chocolate Coconut Chia Protein Ball (my 4 your old snagged the other one!)

Then I ran to Walmart and the library with my cute little kiddos.  For whatever reason I decided to buy a can of Salt and Vinegar Pringles.

Ya.

They are really good and I never ever eat them….so I decided to!  I think it might have something to do with my whole  “treat deprivation and hormonal stuff” goin’ on.  They were very good I must say though.

I also got some awesome reading material at the library…

Oxygen and Fitness magazines!

I love both of these magazines!  Although I have to hide them from the kids because of the amazingly fit, albeit half naked cover models!  LOL.

I really love reading about health and fitness.  It keeps me motivated and gives me a lot of great ideas!  Yay.

This is what I had for lunch…

A Turkey Hotdog topped with mustard and served with a side of sweet potato and salad!

K, I’m sorry that picture looks a little scary (my mustard was almost gone).  I have to admit I kind of like hot dogs.  I think they’re yummy.

Ya, I’m serious.

I know they’re “Mystery Meatish”, but I do try to buy better quality ones.  This is the kind I had…

Oscar Mayer Turkey Hotdogs

Rather tasty.  And, in case you were wondering, this is what we had for dinner last night…

Hamburgers (same recipe as my turkey burgers) with sweet potatoes and Greek salad.  YUM!

We also grilled hotdogs (hence, my lunch leftovers!)  I love this meal and I’m sure we’ll be having it a lot more often now that we’ve started grilling again.  Yay.

Later on, I had this for a snack…

Light Cottage Cheese with carrots (love these itty bitty ones!), red pepper strips and Kashi Pita Crisps.  Love this.

K, and I just took a quick break from typing this post because…….I was HUNGRY!

It’s kind of starting to bug. 🙁

I just had a bowl of cereal (Crispix mixed with Kashi Go Lean).  Yummy.

**********************

I’m going to a fun 5th Grade Maturation Clinic with my daughter in just a minute.

She’s so excited. LOL.

I have dinner in the oven for Kev and the boys.  I made a Hamburger and Potato Casserole per Kev’s request.  It’s his mom’s recipe and it’s one of his favs.  It’s not ultra healthy though.

Anyway despite being the hungry lady that I am, the casserole deal is not calling my name.  So, that’s why I just had the BIG bowl of cereal.

When I get back tonight, I think I’ll round off my day with a protein shake of some sort.

Sounds good.

***********************

So, although I’ve been a little piglet today……….I’m not eating treats!

Very cool.

I did, however crave treats SEVERAL times today.

Ya, I AM hormonal!  Geesh.

But, this little “treat” is the bomb and it squashed my treat cravings.

A small spoonful (1/2 Tbsp) of White Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter!  I LOVE THIS STUFF SO MUCH!  It's all natural too.  Wahoo.

Well, that’s my day today.  So exciting, I know.

I hope you all have a wonderful night!!! xoxo

    Heinz Sugar Free Ketchup is probably the BEST invention on the face of this planet… okay, maybe not… ahem, iPhone – lol, but it’s amazing and allows me to eat my favorite condiment again! I am glad you have jumped from the regular high fructose corn syrup crap to this deliciousness! Some people have problems with splenda, but hey, I THINK it’s FARRR healthier than that fructose crap-o-la! ha ha!.

      I love low sugar ketchup and have been using it for a while! It’s the best!! However, I’ve only seen it available in the little tiny bottles. 🙁 I wish they sold it in bigger bottles! I still buy the “crap-o-la” stuff for the rest of the family because the small little bottles aren’t practical for big families. Dang. Ketchup is a minor part of their diets though (I eat it a lot more often than them!), so I’m not too worried! 😉
