Eats for 9/20/2008

I woke up at 4:30 this morning and couldn’t sleep, so I stayed up until around 7 doing some work. I have an exciting announcement that I’ll probably post about later tonight or tomorrow! Then I was awakened by a phone call from my mom’s dentist (I wanted a 2nd opinion) around 8… So after that I went back to bed again, but had to get up at 10:45 to turn off some cronjobs for a work project (nerd-speak, just ignore it).

So then I just stayed up. I did 25 minutes of the Biggest Loser Cardio Max workout, ran some errands, and finally sat down to eat breakfast/lunch at 2pm.

• Egg white scramble with zucchini, onions, shredded carrot, and green beans on top of iceberg lettuce mix with Newman’s Own lowfat sesame ginger dressing (2.5 tablespoons)
• baby carrots (times 3) with roasted red pepper hummus

After reading this post by Kate, I’ve decided to try to increase my protein in an attempt to ward off mindless snacking/binging. I don’t have a huge problem with it, but I do have triggers – hand me a box of cereal and I’ll eat half the box without even realizing it. So that’s why I went with the egg whites and the hummus instead of my usual weekend eats, which mainly consist of fruit.

Not sure what the dinner plans are yet. I think I’m going to go to Kohl’s now because Kath just bought some awesome bowls and I want to get some good deals, too.
