I got home to a lot of packages outside of my front door! My Rx Bars and Amazon order had arrived. I am so excited to try the Rx Bars, especially because the packages for the bars are resealable!!!! That means I have no excuse to eat a whole bar if I am not hungry because it is so easy now to save some for later! These will be a perfect post-workout meal...I may not be able to control myself only eating some, they look so good!
My amazon.com order contained ghee, dates, 100% cacao powder, unsweetened coconut, hemp seeds and the Whole30 book "It Starts With Food." As part of my Whole30 goals, I am going to read the book in the next 27 days so that I can gain more education and insight into the program and the idea of eating whole foods!
It was really nice to get home from work to an empty house and not feel rushed to cook dinner...I was on my own time and rather than cook right when I got home, I settled a little bit, prepped and then began cooking. It was really great not to have to eat dinner at 5:30pm with Ryan right when I walked in the door. Eating later is so much better, as long as I can hold off from lunch at 1:30pm, because then I am less tempted to go back for more food or something sweet! I am going to have to convince Ryan to eat better lunches that keep him fuller longer so we both can eat later and I don't feel rushed, or we just won't eat together, which is fine with me during the week since our schedules are so different. I just hope he isn't jealous of my meals that I have planned for next week!
I made coconut encrusted tilatpia tonight (unfortunately I only bought 1 filet so I don't have leftovers for lunch tomorrow), with steamed vegetables and instead of a salad, I had vegetable soup! The coconut, even though it was unsweetened, was perfect sweet and the fish was so flaky and cooked to perfection! I loved the smell of the coconut and the sharpness of the taste. It would be great with a ghee and balsamic dressing next time! I can't wait to make macaroons with the coconut!
Coconut Encrusted Tilapia
1 filet of tilapia
1/4 tsp coconut flour
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
coconut oil
1 egg white
1. Prep by having 1 egg white in a bowl, and mixing coconut flour and coconut flakes on a separate plate.
2. Heat pan over medium heat. When hot, add coconut oil (or fat of choice).
3. Dip tilapia in egg white and make sure it is coated completely.
4. Cover tilapia in coconut mixture, coating both sides evenly!
5. Place tilapia in pan. Cook for 4 minutes on each side. Be careful not to loose too much of the coconut when you flip the filet over.
6. Serve and enjoy!
Really easy recipe and can be made with other types of fish or meat!
I prepped my lunch for tomorrow - a vegetable salad and vegetable soup (basically the same dish, one hot, one cold). I added some hemp seeds, we will see how that tastes!
I am going for my first ever colonic tomorrow and part of the prep for the colonic is to not have animal products the day of. This means my protein at lunch is out, so I may have to have half of a larabar or an Rx Bar to make sure that I am full. I have to stop eating at 2pm and stop drinking at 4pm since my treatment is at 6pm so tomorrow may be a little more difficult than normal. I am not sure if I am going to go to Bar Method in the morning or sleep in and relax since my body will be pushed later in the afternoon. My session also isn't until 6pm so it will be a long day. But I am feeling antsy since I didn't workout today and I think going to Bar would be good for me. I really want to make N'Oatmeal for breakfast, I am getting a little tired of eggs, but if I go to Bar then I will have an RxBar and an omelette. N'Oatmeal is something I found online, it is various nuts pulsed in the food processor and cooked on the stove until "nutty" and then eggs whisked in until it becomes of a consistency of oatmeal (not scrambled eggs). I might make this on Friday morning since I have to eat light and clean the day after the colonic to help my body heal. I will set my alarm for Bar and see how I feel when I wake up - if I fall back asleep then I know it's a sign to sleep in. I feel good though, usually a day without working out I feel bloated and uncomfortable and "fat" but I feel healthy and satisfied and great when I look in the mirror so I am not as anxious to get to Bar. I don't want to push my body and make it tired if it already feels good right now.
Ryan landed in Houston and checked in to the hotel and is at the hotel restaurant having a burger and fries - not gluten free on this trip and that's okay, I just want him to enjoy his trip and relax. He has been so busy and he deserves the break, even if it is a work trip!
Have a great night everyone!
