Re-cap of my protein switch up...

So today I changed how I ate my holy trinity of protein food and it went VERY good! Instead of my protein bar in the car on my way to work, I held breakfast off until 9:30 am. I came across an interesting recipe on a blog last night but I can't find it anywhere today. It's called and "overnight jar!" Theirs had PB and some other stuff, but I loved the concept so I put together my own and enjoyed it for breakfast! I put 8 oz of greek yogurt, a handful of dry oatmeal, 5 or 6 frozen strawberries, and a tablespoon or so of SF vanilla syrup. I mixed it all together and let it sit overnight. It was soooooooooooooooooo good! It was alot of food but I was able to get through it slowly. It held me over until lunch! I usually start snacking around 10:30 am so this was amazing! For lunch I had another super healthy meal! I had quinoa mixed with chili beans (just plain old seasoned chili beans in a can) and cheddar cheese. I added some salsa and used some tortilla chips to spoon it out! It was delish and again, very filling. My friend offered me some of her garlic bread and meat sauce from her lunch and although I wasn't hungry at all, I ate some. I don't know why I did. It was so yummy but I didn't need it and it gave me indigestion. I never got indigestion before but it keeps happening lately. When I got home from work I was still full from the 2nd lunch so I didn't start grazing like I usually do. Around 4:15 I ate my protein bar when the urge to snack hit. I wasn't very hungry but I wanted to get the bar in so I ate it. My sister and I decided to make chicken and grilled veggies again so I nibbled on veggies while I prepped and cooked them! It was so good!!!! We went and got some frozen yogurt too! When the kiddos went to bed (a trigger time for my eating) I tried a new recipe for a 3 minute oatmeal raisin cookie. It was very tasty and satisfying so I have no desire to eat anything else for the night.

So to recap, I got in all of my protein, but in a different order. In turn I made better eating decisions today (extremely healthy if I do say so myself) and my extra eating/snacking was greatly reduced! I think I nibbled on a few Vanilla cat cookies from TJs (less than a serving) and some Carmel rice cakes (1 serving). Not bad at all! I think this new schedule is really going to work for me! Yeah!!!
