Food Revolution: week 5 update

I'm only into Week 5 of my Food Revolution and I fell off the breakfast wagon. With a thud. I couldn't resist having leftover More cupcakes all last weekend long for breakfast that I bought for our 3 year anniversary, tsk tsk.

Because of this, I tried especially to stick to my breakfast vows during the work week, and I like to think that this helped to make up for what I lacked in willpower over the weekend. Here follows a weekly progress update of my "Food Revolution"
:

(1) Reduce the number of canned meals I eat for lunch. 5-0 Jamie!
  • Monday: Orzo with garlic, touch of creme fraiche and lemon juice, with baked tilapia and broccoli.
  • Tuesday: Repeat leftovers of Monday's lunch, but with a different spiced tilapia.
  • Wednesday: Green Garden Soup (a blend of asparagus, sweet pea, green onion, garlic, onion, chicken, oyster mushroom, broth, creme fraiche and lemon), and a side of boiled potatoes.
  • Thursday: Linguine with meat sauce and string green beans.
  • Friday: Linguine with meat sauce and baked spiced tilapia with Green Garden Soup on the side.

(2) Eat breakfast. Or at least just eat something in the morning.
  • Monday: 1 mini banana muffin my intern brought in from Whole Foods – if it's from WF, it must be good for me!
  • Tuesday: Spicy Cheddar Bagel with house-made cream cheese from American Bagel while on my press check in the 'burbs. Commuting = thumbs down. Free food = thumbs up!
  • Wednesday: 2 mini banana muffins.
  • Thursday: Frosted Mini Wheats, dry. I ran out of milk.
  • Friday: Mini bagel with whipped cream cheese.
Note to self: Next challenge will be to eat a healthier breakfast once I conquer the "eat-something-in-the-morning" concept first.
