I hate Mondays. They really do suck. I think I walked into work this morning deciding to have a bad day.... every little thing irritated me! But Monday is also dodgeball night, which I love. I decided to meet the boyfriend at the mall for his lunch / dinner break so it was nice to just see each other for a few minutes and chat about our manic Mondays. My team won our dodgeball game, which was kind of expected given we played the last place team (we're in second place). I'm home. I'm showered. I'm rejuvinated. I'm ready to take on the week. I'm also enjoying my Weight Watchers brownie. I wish I was able to quit sugar cold turkey, but I cannot and these healthier options are perfect for me. Each brownie packs in four grams of fibre too! I've already gotten organized and packed my meals for tomorrow. This is the plan:
Breakfast- Banana, Slimfast meal replacement bar
Snack-Apple
Lunch- Thai peanut noodles, large salad, 1tbsp. vinagrette dressing
Snack- Fibre One granola bar
Dinner- Subway 6" on whole wheat
Snack- Weight Watchers cake, Starbucks non fat sugar free caramel latte
I'm going to have a cute little Christmas date tomorrow with the boyfriend. Starbucks and then Christmas Carol in 3D. I'm pretty pumped!
Question: What do you think the healthiest sub would be at Subway? (condiments and all!) I want to know what to have tomorrow and I need your help. :-)
Until then my friends.

Well, I think the healthiest sub is definitely the Veggie sub on whole grain (if they server that) I would put only pepper NO salt and definitely mustard. Mustard wins all.. ahaha
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you ever tried maybe having shakes in the morning? I have massive fruit smoothies or veggie smoothies in the morning. Keeps me going for a couple hours and full of complex carbs and lots of fiber :)
Do you have any suggestions on what I could put in my smoothies? Also, is there any that can be made the night before that I can just refridgerate? In order to get up at 5:40am, I need to have everything packed the night before... Thanks for all your help lady! :-)
ReplyDeletethis might be healthy :) remember to factor in everything and not just which has the least calories :)
ReplyDeletei am a smoothie girl too, but i know you've told me you like to have something "solid" for breakfast, whereas for me i'm never super hungry/in the mood to eat in the morning so a big smoothie fills me full but doesn't feel too heavy or whatever. in mine i ususally put some fresh berries, yogurt, water and blend it all together!
So I think everytime I try and post a comment for the first time, it doesn't work!
ReplyDeleteYay for skinny caramel lattes!
For a sub, I usually get 6 inch veggie with swiss cheese, lettuce, green peppers, pickles, and mustard. But I mean what you put on it depends on what kind of healthy you want. I know the subway at Fallingbrook they now have a little sticker that gives you options for condiments/veggies dependent on the kind of healthy you want (low sodium, low fat, etc).
But basically if you want to make it healthy, you can cut the cheese and use a low calorie sauce (like mustard) or no sauce and load up on veggies. If you feel you need protein, you can add turkey or ham, but other than that just go with veggie.
Smoothies.
ReplyDeleteOh my- I might have to send you an email about smoothies. This is what I live on. They have all my vitamins and nutrients and proteins. The list of what I put in is VERY LONG. If you are seriously interested in smoothies I can send you a bunch of recipes. I use homemade almond milk, or coconut water or regular water or tea or aloe vera juice as the base of the smoothies and then I fill up the blender with fruits and MAca-Acai-Spirulina-Green powder's, omega oils ....and probably 50 other things... I wish I could show YOU!!!!!! Let me know :)
I would love an e-mail Kim! I'm very interested in trying some of the smoothies :-)
