Another Monday and I am so happy that I have them off! Though I must say that I will be happy to work whenever once I am finished with NTP training! To be able to make your own schedule is the best thing for this Type A/Rebel (4 tendencies).
I'm not sure what times D's alarm went off but I laid in bed for a while longer. Jack likes to start cleaning so the slopping of the tongue was driving me a bit crazy so I got up. All the animals were happy I did since they wanted to eat. Nostrand is really the only one that will drive me nuts about it. It snowed a bunch from yesterday and I knew I would need to shovel some today but I was leaving it until later today to do it.
After I fed everyone, I fed myself and put D's lunch together. I made my usual shake but used decaf coffee instead of the water for a mocha instead. It was really good of course! Tomorrow I will post everything I currently use in my shake. I say currently because the protein powder will be changing! After D left I headed out to Whole Foods to pick up groceries for the week. I picked up chips for D and some peppermint chocolates. The rest of the groceries were produce, ground chicken, a whole chicken, sriracha brussels (I know! But it's tomorrows lunch), some frozen peas, some coconut peanut butter. I picked up some pasta sauce. The Rao's I wanted was out so I found another that had no garlic. There was one that Diane Sanfillipo recommends but at $8.99 I just couldn't do it. Maybe another day!
My last stop before I left for home was the coffee bar for a cortado. It's not as good as Birmingham Roast but tasty. Yes I did get decaf too.
Coconut milk Cortado!
I came home and quickly put the groceries away so I could head to the gym. Here is what I did.

I went to Trader Joe's after since Whole Foods didn't have a spaghetti squash and I picked up some tomatoes for work. When I got home I was ready for lunch!
Noodle bowl! I bought shrimp from Whole Foods this morning and whipped this up quick! I used Trader Joe's spill zucchini noodles with chopped onion, mushrooms, green onion and carrot. I added some coconut aminos and lunch was ready. Only issue it wasn't as filling as I had hoped. It tasted great though and would happily make it again.
While I was eating my bestie said I had a package delivered! SO I jumped up and checked my front door and there it was! She got me a blanket since I said I was always cold at night! She is just the best bestie anyone could ever want! I wish we lived close! She is all the way in Austin. I was lucky enough to go see her a couple times and I talk to her daily, well messenger! Lunch wasn't filling so I had a protein bar and then later some Siete Lime tortilla chips. A few other errands and chores around the house and I was ready for dinner.
D has wanted a "meat" free option at least one timer per week so we do veggie burgers. He has a fried egg on his. I do on mine as well and some bacon. Tonight I also had some sautéed peppers and onions on top of butter lettuce with tomatoes on the side. I cooked up some white sweet potato fries as well.
It was Felix time after dinner and putting a message on Harder to Kill Club with Steph Gadreau about my Saturday experiment and how it was a fail. She pointed out that certain carbs ie. cassava flour can cause insulin spikes! This makes total sense since after I ate some Siete chips I was hungrier and felt a bit jittery. DUH! Sometimes you just need someone else to point out what is right in from t of you.
n=1 experiments are good and wonder what the next will be.
