We've had a couple not-as-good days food wise, I'm trying to think back for the past couple days. I know yesterday started out ok - whole wheat vegan pancakes, which turned out ok but Jake says I should get becky's recipe. Here is the link to the: http://www.holycowvegan.net/2008/01/whole-wheat-eggless-and-dairyless.html they were a little gummy in the middle, I think it will help if I use pastry flour... and fresh pastry flour at that. We'll see, Ryan was not a fan. The kids loved them though, Nora ate 2!
That was the extent of our healthy eating yesterday. I was sitting down and my foot fell asleep but Nora wanted something to eat so I decided to pick her up and go into the kitchen. I don't know exactly what happened because my foot was asleep, but I misstepped and my ankle rolled and I heard a lovely "pop" and was down on the ground. My foot swelled up immediately in two spots, and Ryan rushed me to the doctor to make sure I didn't break anything. Turns out just a really bad sprain and I'm supposed to stay off of it as much as possible for 3 days and then ease back into exercise depending on how bad it hurts. Sooo, that sucks. Ryan got me a super-fatty cupcake, which was delicious but not diet friendly. We then got Jimmy Johns, which was super yummy, but they put a lot of mayonnaise on their sandwiches. I got the tuna with sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and no cheese. No whole wheat. But delicious :) Then we picked our kids up from our friends who had ordered pizza and invited us to stay, so we ate that for dinner. I ate 2 slices of the combo so I could have at least a few veggies. The GOOD things I have to say about my eating habits yesterday was that we ate dinner early in the day, and I didn't have anything else after that except 2 glasses of water. I also went to bed early (9pm) even though I tossed and turned all night.
Now on to this morning, I am excited to say we had another healthy breakfast. I made 6 fresh farm fresh eggs, I had 1, the kids each had 1-2, and Ryan had about 2. I didn't make toast like I usually did but made a filling smoothie! I put in 1 cup frozen mango, 1 cup frozen peaches, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries (frozen from the farmers market earlier this year) 4 tablespoons of ground flaxseed, and 100% white grape juice for the liquid. Not the best for sugar content on the last. I ground that up and gave the kids each a cup and then remembered I should put some spinach in, so I put 2 cups of spinach in the remainder left in the blender. So I split that between Ryan and I and I thought it was pretty good! And no yogurt or milk! So hopefully we can make healthy choices the rest of the day from what I can find around the house.
