Thursday - For breakfast I had a green berry protein smoothie. For lunch I made a nice big green salad, topped with peppers, scallions, salsa and ham. I also brought some hummus and carrots, and an apple to snack on. For dinner I decided to make some Meatloaf with some roasted broccoli.
Friday - Friday was a strange day for our group of friends. We lost a friend of ours, Cherilyn. She was Matt's girlfriend and an incredible woman that unfortunately lost her fight with Brain Cancer. We took Matt out to try and get his mind on other things and show him our support. I got roasted cauliflower and a spinach salad. It was delicious. We talked about Cherilyn and toasted to her memory.
Saturday- I made an egg white scramble with greens, cilantro and onion for breakfast. I topped it with avocado and salsa. Since I knew I was going out to dinner that night, I snacked on fruit and veggies for the rest of the day. At dinner I ordered kung poa shrimp and requested that no noodles or rice be brought with my dish.
Sunday- Sunday I ate some cottage cheese and coffee for breakfast. For lunch I ate some veggies and fruit. Dinner was leftover meatloaf and roasted asparagus.
Monday- For breakfast I made a green berry smoothie. Lunch was a spinach salad with peppers, cucumber, scallions, garbazno beans and salsa. For snacks I brought carrots and hummus, an apple and orange. For dinner I made a Skinnytaste.com recipe. It is a whole recipe for tacos, but I just wanted to make the chicken and bean filling because I thought maybe I would make a salad or just do tacos, I wasn't sure yet.

Tuesday - For breakfast it was the usual green berry smoothie. I went to lunch with some co-workers and got a spinach salad with blackened shrimp, crispy goat cheese, strawberries, blueberries and balsamic vinegar. I chose shrimp over chicken because it is lower points. After work I went to happy hour with some co-workers and munched on some chips and salsa.
Wednesday - For breakfast again it was a green berry smoothie. For lunch I brought a salad with roasted chickpeas, peppers, cucumbers, scallions and jalapeno lime vinegar. I also brought carrots and hummus, a tangerine and an apple. After work I went to the gym and worked out before my weight watchers meeting.
