The Day After....

I have not made it one Valentines Day without overdoing the chocolate. I always think I can make it without, but I feel deprived of not having a Valentine in the first place, then doubly deprived by not eating the chocolate! So today I am sluggish, bloated and feel toxic from the sugar and caffeine overload. I decided to go veggie today to help my body recover. Megan and I made our meal for the week on Sunday, so this was a really easy day. BTW...isn't that the most beautiful salad you've ever seen! Appropriately named "Mega Life" all of the colors and textures and flavors..one of my all time favs from a restaurant in Canada called Juice For Life.





6a - Lazy Girl Green Tea - I just throw a green tea bag in a glass of bottled water..viola! Green Tea Water ; )
9a - Berry Protein Shake - 1/2 banana, blueberries, strawberries, vanilla protein powder, 1/4c nf plain yogurt, ice, water
10a - Even lazier green tea - I just added water to my glass that had the tea bag in it.
12p - Breakfast cookie - We had some granola w/ chocolate, protein powder, coconut, peanut butter and a little light coconut milk - mash together and flatten out to make cookies - no bake
3p - Mega Life Salad - mixed greens, spinach, grated carrot, grated beet, sprouts, parsley, sunflower seeds, marinated  tofu(tofu with sesame oil, soy sauce and wine vinegar) - with a little balsamic vinegrette  (I add more vinegar to salad dressings to lessen the calories and fat)
5p - More Green Tea, this time I actually made some with a little xylitol (similar to stevia, but no after taste)
6p - Fruit Salad with Greek Yogurt with Honey - banana, grapes, apple with yogurt
9p - I have to work overnight, so I try to eat my dinner late, but trying not to eat after 10p.. making the Guacamole Life Roll - 2 tomatoes, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 red onion, 1 t chili powder, 1 t salt and mix together. Heat a tortilla and spread with 1/4 c guacamole per tortilla, then layer hummus & veg mixture, add grated carrots, sprouts or lettuce.


I feel better already! Did anyone else overindulge?
