This morning I actually cooked breakfast! Instead of my cinnamon raisin protein oatmeal I made eggs for Kepa and myself. I sauteed onions, red pepper, and kale then added in eggs and spices (turmeric, garlic powder, pepper, salt). It turned out really yummy and along with a slice of toast it filled me up all morning.
For lunch I realized I had zero protein options readily available (grocery shopping is tomorrow) so I grabbed some frozen fish filets from the freezer and baked them.
Along with premade sweet potato mash and an orange it was a good meal. I wanted some greens but I used all the kale at breakfast!
After lunch I went to the gym for the first day of week 5 of livefit trainer: back & cardio! Since it was a lovely day we pulled out our bikes and biked the mile to the gym and back. At the end of all that I had racked up
- 40 minutes of weights
- 30 minutes of cardio at the gym
- 20 minutes of biking.
Good workout for the day! :)
I came home to finish up my work hours for the day while Kepa made a fish pie. He’s been wanting one for a while and finally decided just to make one, complete with an M carved into the top. ;)
I’ve never had it before so it was a new experience for me – a rather deliciousnew experience!
Lots of fish today! I’m trying to eat more fish just because I like it and it’s a good source of protein. I hate cooking it myself though so unless I get Kepa to do it or just get the frozen kind to bake i don’t eat it often enough!
Really looking forward to grocery shopping tomorrow – I need more fruits and veggies in the house! And protein sources! And just food in general!

Great read Mary! Good to see protein is a high priority food source as this keeps a dieter fuller for longer, decreasing the chances of bingeing – although too much protein = additional calories and so must be monitored to make sure you don’t eat surplus calories :)
You (or Kepa) should post the recipe for the fish pie! It sounds rather interesting and yummy!
That was completely Kepa so he will have to blog about it soon! :)
