Setting up for Success

really yummy stir fry. aren't the chopsticks pretty!

Day 2: January 2, 2012

Today was menu planning and grocery shopping day. It seems like such a small task, but in my case it's the only way to succeed. If I don't have the right foods in the house, and plans for meals written down, and the groceries to make them readily accessible, all bets are off. Meals are planned for the week and the pantry and fridge are stocked. No excuses!

Food journal:

Breakfast - kielbasa, red pepper and egg scrambled in olive oil. Strawberries

Lunch - turkey and chèvre rollups, carrots with hummus, sweet potato and beet chips

Dinner - stir fry with chicken, carrots, broccoli, water chestnuts and snap peas

Snack - cashews and dark chocolate chips

II: 5 sets, 3 rounds

5 pull ups (sub ring rows)

10 push ups (sub knee pushups, plus box)

And then I had an asthma attack in the car on the way home.
