Day 63 - Back to Reality

Weigh-In - 233.5 (down 15.8 total)

Today is a start to trying to get back to normalcy, whatever that is!  I was 2 for 3 today, so let's check it out!

Breakfast - Just a dark chocolate, Peanut Butter Protein bar.  Pictured below in case any of you forgot what I was talking about.  These are quite filling believe it or not.

  

Lunch - So I went to a sports collector's show in White Plains from about 11:30am to 3:00pm.  I had a chance to meet Hall of Famers Rollie Fingers and Juan Marichal, should be Hall of Famer Luis Tiant, '69 Mets Champs Ed Kranepool and Ron Swoboda, and freebies Greg Luzinski and Ralph Garr.  The problem with this is the time frame.  I had my protein bar on the way up to White Plains but by 2pm, I was STARVING!  The only thing they had there was Nathan's and I knew I would not be passing anywhere on my way home either, so This was my only choice.  I had a chicken sandwich, fries and just a few sips of a very nasty flat orange soda.

Snacking - just a piece of my peanut butter pie that was left over from before vacation.  :-)  Also a piece of cheese.

Dinner - Well, the honeymoon is over.  Band camp is on the horizon and my streak of being the cook of the house is coming to a close.  I'm not in any way saying that I will not help, cook or anything else.  What I am saying is that there are going to be days where I can have nothing to do with cooking because I'm not home at all. Kristyn knew this was coming and started wrapping her head around getting herself back on the cooking train and she started off with a bang.

Cilantro Lime Shrimp Tacos

• So the shrimp was from a frozen bag - which was great!  Was about $5/pound and for $15, we got through 3 good meals with it!  Defrost and de-vein.  Then marinate in a sauce that Kristyn put together - I know it had cilantro, lime, cumin and likely a few other things.  Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes.
• Quinoa - just follow directions on the box
• Black Beans - from a can - just open and rinse
• Shredded Carrots - no prep
• Cilantro - cut small
• Avocado slices (I did not have this)
• And a lime to squeeze on top
• Your choice of making this as a bowl, on a lettuce wrap or a regular wrap.  

I chose to make 2 whole wheat wraps.  Not ready for the lettuce wrap thing yet.  But this was so good that I will likely just put it in a bowl next time and forfeit the wraps completely.

I'm pretty sure that was it for the day.  Wanted to make sure that lunch didn't screw me for the day.  Oh wait - I had some grapes!  Forgot about that.   

Next Day Weigh-In - 232.3 (-1.2 from today!)  Good start back.
