Week 2

It's week two on the zone.. I did pretty well last week until the weekend. Friday night was tough because I went out and didn't have dinner until 11 pm. I ended up eating crab dip and tostados.. oh god! Another bad day on Saturday while celebrating a final holiday meal with my family. But, I got back on Saturday afternoon with a good snack and a good steak salad. I spent today cooking and preparing for next week. I have two different snacks ready to grab and go.

Snack 1
Eggs with yolk removed and replaced with hummus
Paprika on top for color and flavor
2 eggs (4 halves in a snack)

Snack 2
Waldorf Salad
a ton of celery
1/4 an apple
half a walnut chopped
1/2 teaspoon lowfat mayo

Then I made Chili and Scrimp scampi (with asparagus instead of pasta for lunch through the week). Hopefully, this will work better for me than last week. That made my head hurt and my hands dry from washing all of those freaking dishes.

20 g protein powder
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries (should have had a cup)
3 macadamia nuts
4 ice cubes

Lunch:
Turkey Wrap (One of Leslie's recipes)
Turkey
broccoli
