Dan and I sat down to watch some TV and while flipping through the channels he stopped at Man vs. Food.

Not exactly the perfect show for a girl who is trying to change lifestyles. But, when given the option between extreme eating and hillbillies trying to catch alligators, I chose the lesser of two evils.
After 30 minutes of peanut butter pies and sandwiches topped with mac and cheese, I was literally salivating and had this overwhelming desire to feel full. Like really full. Like can't fit anything else in my stomach full.
So, I ate an entire head of cabbage.

More specifically, an entire head of roasted cabbage with lime peanut sauce. (Click *here* for the recipe). The cabbage was wonderful, and would be perfect for a side to an Asian dish. Not so perfect for an entire meal, but it fulfilled my desire to feel full. It also

Yesterday I stopped by Trader Joe's before work to pick up a few things. The place was empty and it was so nice to casually look around. I started chatting with a few of the employees, and they introduced me to a few of their favorite things. I left with a cart full of new items to try, one of which was this Chile spiced dried mango.

This stuff is like crack. At least, that is my excuse for why I started snacking on this after work, and even managed a few more nibbles after the aforementioned head o' cabbage, and before I knew it 2/3 of the package was gone. I totally dipped into my weekend / wine points budget, but it was worth it.
Run
Yesterday I repeated the same sprint work out I did last week and the week before that. I love the intervals because they really push me to my speed limit, but then I get a good rest in before I have to start again. Maybe next week I will try to increase the speeds to 9.5 / 9.0 / 8.5. Yikes.

We watch Food Network all of the time and it does nothing but make me HUNGRY! I've never roasted cabbage, I will have to try that. I usually sautee it with some EVOO, salt and pepper. YUM!
ReplyDeleteYou will be here in 2 weeks!!! :D
I don't know why we put ourselves through such torture, but it is like watching a train wreck. Hehe.
DeleteThis is going to be a very long two weeks...can't wait!
We dont get food network here in Holland which is maybe a good thing ROFL. I think you do awesomely to tell to the whole wide world what you eat and how much of it ! You are and example to the rest of us LOL. Just out of curiosity...how much sugar was in the unsweetend mango ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing !

That is for sure a good thing! Awww, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure it is sweetened, just unsulfated. Each serving has 21 g of sugar--I don't know how much of that is from the mango and how much is from the crystals on top.
