So much hummus and baby carrots today. I got a humongous bag of organic baby carrots and 2 huge tubs of hummus from Costco, so they will be my snack of choice until I’m out of them. Today was a grazing day, so not everything I ate is included here.
I may also start keeping track of my exercise – this morning I did a 40 minute video called “Perfect Pilates – the 20-20 Method”. I was doing 100’s and rollups when Bobby woke up and tried to join me 🙂
Breakfast:
Lunch:
- various samples at Costco – chicken salad, chicken links, mushrooms, a bit of a Fiber1 bar, and other things that I’m not remembering…
- salad with iceberg mix, shredded carrots, chopped beans, and chopped peppers and Newman’s Own lowfat sesame ginger dressing
lots and lots of baby carrots with Sabra hummus (original and garlic flavors)
Snacks:
- 2 Brothers-All-Natural freeze dried fruit packs – strawberry banana and fuji apple
- wild Ahi tuna steak with an organic poultry rub (also from Costco)
more iceberg salad mix with shredded carrot and green peppers tossed with ginger dressing from an Asian supermarket
Brussels sprouts, apples, onions, and green beans – Brussels and beans were steamed, apples and onions were sauteed in a smidge of sesame oil, then I added apple cider vinegar and the steamed veggies and sauteed for a few more minutes – delish!
Just for fun – some of the goodies that we got from Costco!
- wild Ahi tuna steak (~22 ounces at $9.99/pound)
- Brothers-All-Natural freeze-dried fruit packs
- huuuuuge bag of baby carrots
- Sabra hummus
- huuuuuge bag of iceberg salad mix ($1.99)
- double size (4 cups) of fage 0% ($6.99!!!)
- huge tub of almond butter ($7)
- eat, pray, love (the book – so far it’s great)
- poultry rub
- 8 ciabatta rolls ($4.50)
- giant bottle of vanilla extract
- Talking Rain Fusion drinks – sweetened with sucralose unfortunately, but they taste incredible. Bobby’s office offers them for free.
I think we just made up for the $50 membership fee in one day’s worth of shopping. With the amount of Fage we eat, I could probably save at least $50 in a year. Any suggestions for ways to buy in bulk and not let food go to waste? There were so many things that I wanted to buy, but I felt like we just didn’t have the room for them. Organic, free-range, antibiotic-free chicken sausage links – but you have to buy 21 at a time! I think we are going to get them eventually; I had some samples and they were delicious.
