No im not dead, just busy busy. I had a weeklong trip to San Diego which was a blast other than the fact that I got super sick for 3 days. Swine Flu? maybe? lol. Then I came home for a week but was busy unpacking, getting the house back together, etc. Now Im off again tomorrow for an impromptu visit to Florida to visit family. Im still staying super active and eating pretty healthy, the vacation had its splurges but I evened it out with lots of physical activity. I guess ill talk to you guys soon!

This is what Ive been doing now. When I was on IF I was unable to eat enough in my one meal, especially since I like to keep it healthy so I have now moved on to having 2-3 bigger meals throughout the day supplemented with fruit/veggie juice (pineapple/orange juice pureed with raw baby spinach) and hot tea. So here is a run down on a normal day.

B: 1 piece of ezekiel toast with butter/jam (1/2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp jam) 1 cup coffee (black).
S: 1 cup juice concoction
L: Hot Tea + english biscuits, 2-3 eggs, veggies or 1 scoop protein + milk + kix cereal
D: Whatever I want, I make pasta, chicken or eat out 2x a week…meh dont really track this
S: If hungry, more protein cereal.

Thats about it, sometimes I eat more sometimes less…but I just eat intuitively. and apparently its working. Yay!

One of my favorite (and my boyfriend’s favorite) things I make is Okonomiyaki. Its a japanese dish which is a cross between a pancake and pizza. Its chuck full of veggies and I add in meat which makes it the perfect PWO meal with little fat, carbs and protein! I make mine quite different than the recipes ive found online but it tastes very authentic and its a lot cheaper and easier for those who dont keep japanese ingredients in the pantry.

This will make 3-4 big pancakes (about the size of a smaller skillet)

1/2 a chopped sweet (or yellow) onion
1/2 a green pepper diced
1 small sweet potato grated
2 cups of shredded cabbage (or more if you like it)
(you can really add whatever else you want, carrots are good, etc)
You can also add whatever meat you want, I prefer ground beef, turkey sausage or whatever but Im going to use some chicken this time. Add however much you want. Cook ahead of time and add into mixture
Follow the Bisquick recipe for pancakes but add in double the eggs and instead of milk, use water.
1 tbsp Siracha sauce (spicy red pepper sauce)
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

Add all ingredients together in a big mish mash, batter should be pancake consistency, if you like thicker pancakes make a thicker batter…etc. Adjust constancy by adding bisquick or water.

Fry on a small skillet, make them as big or small as you like, i prefer mine about the size of a big dinner plate. I dip in ketchup with a small amount of Siracha sauce to make it spicy. Enjoy!
