Went to the store tonight and stocked up on some items that will help me make healthy meals, so I'll actually make new things instead of relying on the old stand-bys that are getting repetitive.
I got:
bag of chopped broccoli/cauliflower (currently roasting in the oven with some baby carrots)
two Roma tomatoes
Laughing Cow light Swiss
wonton wrappers
turkey pepperoni
90% lean ground beef
Greek yogurt cream cheese
mozzarella cheese sticks (like string cheese, not the breaded kind)
Canadian bacon
regular bacon
a squeeze bottle of ginger
skim milk
EVOO
pizza sauce
a bag of clementines
small cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes
a can of chickpeas (to try @AshAsh1's roasted chickpeas -- I've never had chickpeas, only hummus)
pineapple tidbits in juice
The ham, pizza sauce, pineapple, and some shredded mozzarella we already had are in the oven with the veggies, becoming crustless Hawaiian pizzas based on this recipe: https://www.ellaclaireinspired.com/no-crust-pizza-bites/
I also plan on making these mini cheeseburger meatloaf muffins, though not tonight: http://www.hungry-girl.com/ask-hg-q-and-a/seven-healthy-protein-packed-recipes
I went to the gym this morning feeling surprisingly strong. I think it must be the 100 something grams of protein intake a day. I was aiming for 15 minutes of cardio and blew that goal out of the water. By the time I looked at the clock it was at 28 minutes and I am like, "Okay, 2 minutes and I am done." So I hopped off the elliptical at 30 minutes feeling really good. I don't want to overdo it because I want to make the gym a daily habit. Still this is every reason to feel good!
