Today my goal was to do right by my girl, Rainbow Brite, after my Friday Foray in to Beige. I think I did pretty well!
Here's what I ate:
Red-tomatoes
Orange-water w/ orange slices, carrots in my salad, cheese (does this count as orange or yellow?)
Yellow-a hard boiled egg (Andrew--protein!), lemon olive oil, water w/ lemon
Green-cucumbers and lettuce
Blue-blueberries (and if you think I went out and bought blueberries so that I could have a blue food, you'd be correct--anything for my loyal 30 readers)
Purple-there was some red lettuce in my salad, and I'm counting it as purple, dammit
Pink-Canadian bacon (Andrew--protein!)
I still had the tan group represented with chicken (Andrew--protein!), whole wheat toast, hummus and pretzels, and milk, but it was mostly whole grains and protein.
And gosh, who knows what tomorrow's cartoon inspired eating will entail? Maybe the Gummy Bears?
Juuuuuuuuuuust kidding.
Then, in today's complete recipe FAIL, I tried to make these healthy chocolate chip cookie balls that use agave and ground cashews in place of sugar and flour. I was able to scrape about 2 tablespoons worth of 'dough' out of the blender before I went to add the chocolate chips, and it tasted like...agave and ground cashews. So I poured it down the sink and just had a few tootsie rolls instead.
Exercise was hip and upper body strengthening exercises, because it is too freaking hot to do cardio. Thanks for reading and don't melt!
