Yesterday morning I had a toasted croissant, 1 serving of Noosa blueberry yoghurt (very very good!), with strawberries and blueberries. Me and Josh picked up this same yogurt while shopping over the weekend and didn't realize until we got home and unpacked three containers. It's incredible and tastes more like cream (in a good way) than that sort of fakey-sour gross taste that most yogurts have.
For lunch I had a big salad with dark leafy greens, cucumber, Dr. Praeger's sweet potato patty, and an organic chicken and apple sausage.
I did the 30 minute Biggest Loser Bootcamp with Bob. I can't tell you when I bought this, but it's been awhile. I've been looking for a DVD that I can replace Insanity while my knee continues to heal. It's still twingy. But, I noticed that the more I consistently keep up with movement and exercise the better it feels.
For second lunch, I had a small bowl of fresh market brand raisin bran. Josh made this bowl for me like he eats it, with blueberries and a little honey. I never knew blueberries could be so good in cereal!
Dinner was another big salad with cucumbers, sauteed mushrooms + baby squash, creamy dressing and a wedge of panini bread. I really like the squash in sauces more than alone, they were just too bitter like this. I ended up eating around them in favor of the mushrooms.
I had these Yasso frozen Greek yogurt pops later on in the evening. They are so good and big for 70 calories!
To finish the day ( I was still hungry) I had about 3/4 cup of the vegetable fried rice that I made for Josh for dinner.
I love this food! You honestly make the best healthy food ever. Thanks for the inspiration. Pinned!
Gotta love pinterest! Thank you, I’m really making an effort to step it up on the health-food front. It’s a revelation that real/clean food can be good, if not better than junk food.
Your food makes me drool.
It’s making me drool too. Time to eat breakfast!
That DVD hurt my knees more than most other workouts I have tried so far… okay, not completely true, I cannot do a single Jillian Michaels workout because of all the jumping. Gotta keep an eye on my priorities, I’d rather be able to run regularly and wear flat shoes than look good on crutches. ^^
Wow- yes, you’re right it’s good to be careful than to be in crutches. Don’t I know it! For me, anytime there is a move that I think might upset my knee, I just modify it for less jumping. I found this workout to be much more tame than Insanity. I barely broke a sweat. I also liked that there was a lot of strength work rather than cardio.
Your lunch looks amazing!! I love those Dr. Praeger’s patties. I had one broccoli one and one spinach one for breakfast yesterday! What brand of chicken/apple sausage do you buy?
Those Dr. Praeger patties are surprisingly good, I wasn’t sure what to expect,but for 80 calories and 8 minutes in the broiler- I was impressed.
I used organic applegate farm sausages.
I love those Yasso Greek Yogurt pops and I like Haagen Dazs mango sorbets – see:

Thanks for sharing all your hard work!
The Mango sorbet looks really good! It reminds makes me think of an Indian Mango Lassey.
Your meals look so yummy! This might be an overly American question but what is second lunch? I love your blog. New follower!!
I just simply means (for me) that I ate again before dinner.
YUM to all of it! I wish I could find those Greek yogurt bars in sugar-free. The protein content is great!
Hi Lyn! Maybe they could be made at home without sugar? That would be an interesting experiment.
I love the meals you make. I eat pretty much the same thing every single day (probably because I know how many calories are in it) and it gets soooooo borrrrrrrrring.
If you want an easy recipe for home-made sweet potato patties, I posted one a little while ago – http://theteensytinyinsignificantdetails.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/daring-kitchen-flipping-fried-patties.html – they’re all vegetable/legume, with just an egg to bind them. Terrifyingly healthy!
I get bored too
I’m not much for eating the same things over and over, unless I have to eat them before going bad.
Thanks for the recipe! I’m excited to give it go.
Hi Lorrie!
Love your blog, you truly have a great life-filled spirit!! Looking forward to more posts about your journey.
