Sometimes You Need a Grilled Cheese

I am fully aware the a grilled cheese is not the picture of nutrition. But I also know that sometimes, you just need one. Like when It is mid-April and snowy and windy outside, when your puppy is sick and keeps waking you up in the night coughing and throwing up, when you just feel like it.
So that's what I did.
But first, I worked out :)
I did Week 6 Day 1 of my C25K, which after running 20 minutes straight on Saturday seemed like a breeze. It was run 5 minutes, walk 3, run 8 minutes, walk 3, run 5 minutes. Boom! Done
Well not done, I continued to walk until I hit 45 minutes because that is my time goal.
So workout=done.


Then for lunch I just felt like a grilled cheese. We had some leftover sandwich bread from the weekend, I took some reduced fat colby jack cheese and some spinach and made that grilled cheese in my panini press...and it was delicious.

For dinner, I knew the bf was going to be gone so I planned to finish off the rest of my baked Tofu from Trader Joe's and make another stir fry. I took cooked up some egg whites in a pan, then I added broccoli slaw.

I heated up some mixed frozen veggies and a cup of that whole grain medley from Minute Rice.

I tossed in some lower sodium soy sauce. 

 Mixed the veggies, rice, and cut up tofu into the broccoli slaw and egg whites and tossed it all together.

Then I divided it in half and for 7 Points Plus had this for dinner and another servicing leftover for lunch at work tomorrow. WIN

  2. Love that you continued to work out for the entire 45 minutes! I always try to get in as much working out as I can, but most days I can only get in 30 minutes because of time restrictions. TODAY I can get in about 1.5 hours and I am going to be working the entire time!.

    Have a great Tuesday!

    1. Yeah timing can be hard, I try to force myself to put in 45 minutes every other day, and I put on an episode of a tv show I really like to make myself not give up after 30 :) 1.5 hours is great! you will probably feel so energized after that !!

    1. It really is an amazing comfort food! I just added the token spinach to make myself think it was sort of healthy, but I really just wanted the gooey cheese :)

    1. Aww it is just necessary, especially when the weather isn't quite what you want it to be and you need a little snuggle in your tummy :) I bet your husband loved it!
