Why can't I be this disciplined at night?

I always do well in the morning when it comes to healthy eating...

... but as soon as dinner is over, all I can think about is Doritoes, potato chips and mint Oreos!  Grrrr!

I got a big old bag of greens about to go bad...

...so what do I do?  Put it in pretty much everything!  This morning I got the brilliant (if I do say so myself) idea to put a couple big handfuls of baby kale into my sloppy joes.  They cook down so far that I doubt I will notice they are there and I just LOVE bulking up meaty dishes with veggies.  I also added a crapload of red bell peppers, onions and garlic...oh how I wish I had some mushrooms.  Nothing like turning 1/2 pound of 96% ground beef into 2 pounds of sloppy joe mix!  The sauce I healthed up too, ketchup (natural), Dijon mustard, a little stevia based sweetener, molasses, salt and pepper. 

I'm packing it up into my trusty soup thermos and bringing a couple low-carb tortillas for a very hearty lunch today.

My morning protein, fiber AND caffeine!

Green Tea Latte

3/4 cup milk (I use unsweetened coconut)
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon matcha tea powder
1 scoop vanilla protein powder ( I use Jillian Michaels Designer Whey)

Heat it all up on the stove over medium heat while whisking often then enjoy!  You may sub out tazo green tea concentrate for the water and powder.

Ambition also equals better cold lunches

Noodle salad, carrots & cucs, half an apple, sun chips and a V8.  My next goal is to QUIT USING PLASTIC BAGGIES!

 

Chobani "go"gurt, LOVE IT!!!

Whoa ambition, where did YOU come from?!

I have had a cold for the last week or so, not a bad cold, just annoying.  I woke up yesterday feeling semi-normal and that sparked a fire in me.  I cleaned my house and cooked all day yesterday and today (so far). 

Here's what I have made so far:
Beef stew
Egg salad
Chocolate chip cookies
Hummus
Baked spicy garlic tortilla chips
...and I have a pork roast (carnitas style) in the slow cooker!

All of it has been low-sugar and low-carb.  The cookies I made have almond flour, truvia and natural sugar free chocolate chips and the beef stew has cauliflower and broccoli instead of tons of potatoes.  Oh and the tortilla chips are made with low carb lavish flatbread.

Everything has been a hit except the chips, which are for me anyway.  We will be eating good for the next couple days!
