Tumblr Accountability: 2012: Day Fifty-One

I feel like a champ today.

Breakfast:

  • Oatmeal w/ soy milk and jam
  • Coffee w/ soy (lots yum)

Snack:

  • The rest of the coffee.

Lunch: 

  • Brown rice, lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, w/ soy sauce and Yumm Sauce (reasonable portions and ZOMG this was soooo good)
  • An orange

Snack:

  • Vegan chili
  • Small apple

Through the day:

  • WATER WATER WATER. And a mug of herbal tea.

Dinner:

  • (posted a photo earlier)
  • Lentil Mushroom Soup: lentils, water, herbs, spices, garlic (and lots), nutritional yeast, Better Than Bullion, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and a bit of salt, and this turned out SO well and is damn near fat free. 
  • Tofu “Steaks” - 2 servings of extra firm tofu, scored and pan-fried in about a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, with some salt, tossed with balsamic vinegar as they were finishing.
  • Pasta: spaghetti, green beans, salt, olive oil, nutritional yeast. I made enough for two portions and I did not eat BOTH portions WOOT.
  • Grape tomatoes with some vidalia onion vinaigrette.
  • A few garlic-stuffed green olives
  • Basically I had an amazing dinner and it was the most fantastic thing after my run

Dessert:

  • Nothing. Too full.

Exercise: Walk halfway to work, all the way home (missed streetcar), and ran four HILLY miles.

Grade for Today: I’ll say A+ - I fucking rocked it today.

What I did well today:

1) I got a new running route and it busted my butt and my quads and that feels like a major accomplishment.

2) I started to legitimately piece together a half marathon training schedule.

3) Look how I ate today! I mean, this was about as perfect as it gets.

4) I did ALL my dishes after cooking and eating when I would normally just let them sit overnight/never do them.

Just two years ago I weighed 295 pounds and didn't think I had anything to live for. Now I'm the happiest I've ever been.
