4/14: Week in Eats

Scotch eggs & peas – really liked this combo (especially with soft boiled eggs 😍) P.S. There are lots of different methods for boiling eggs. I like to boil the water first then place the eggs in, cooking 7 minutes for soft boiled or 15 minutes for hard boiled. Very important to have an ice/water bath ready for when you take them off the heat!

The best, most filling, most wonderful low carb lunch ever: dill marinated chicken with spicy brown mustard covered sweet potato and broccoli. Nothing revolutionary here–just made me satisfyingly stuffed in the midst of sugar cravings 👍

Brussel sprouts and bacon + cauliflower mash — a most excellent combo!

Big arse chicken salad featuring roasted beets, avocado, carrots, tomato, green onion, cashews and olives (+greek dressing) Doesn’t look like much, but all the flavor combinations were spot on.

Also switched up the cardio this week. One day I treadmilled for 45 minutes just for the calorie burn. Another day I did 50 jumping jacks as a warm up, then treadmilled for 30 minutes, doing 20 squats at every half mile. It was definitely harder than just a steady run! Keep having to remind myself to focus on diet though. That is what counts.
