On my walk home from work, I stopped at a local farmer’s market to get my produce for the week. It is a great way to save money–I was able to get six bananas, three yams, brussels sprouts, eight apples, and a container of blackberries for about $5.50!! The same amount of produce would cost between $15-20 at Whole Foods, so I have made this trip a weekly ritual since moving here.
Now, for what I ate today–I’ll start with breakfast. I had a whole wheat bagel with some plain light cream cheese. I also had a mug of decaf coffee, which I drank thoughout the morning at work.
This held me over until around noon, when I ate lunch at my desk. I had some pasta with chickpeas, edamame, and corn tossed in a light curry sauce. In addition, I had a small bag of carrot sticks and a granny smith apple. Afterwards, I was really cold, so I made some tea to warm up.
A couple of hours later, my stomach was growling again. I probably could have done with some more protein at breakfast and lunch. I love bagels but they just don’t fill me up very well! I ended up having a second whole wheat bagel (half is shown here), since it was either that or a snack from the vending machine.
For dinner, I had a two egg omelet with 3 oz. of goal cheese and brussels sprouts. I went back for seconds on the sprouts. I only discovered them recently, and I love them! For dessert, I had a fage with about a tsp. of jam, and a handful of blackberries (not pictured). I’m so glad it’s the weekend!
