Spinach Barley Salad
330 calories
I have been wanted to try this salad for some time, but still can't make my mind up about it. I'm glad I took the time to make a ton of barley, since I was able to use it later. I like idea of using barley in a salad, but needed more punch.
I'm getting too philosophical about a salad.
But, hey, salads are what my world revolves around, so it is completely justified.

Dinner:
2 cups broccoli, steamed
1 small baked red potato

The salty taste from the cottage cheese just makes this sublime. I think I could eat this daily. Wait, I pretty much did eat this daily last week. Until the cottage cheese was gone (Johnny Scott was heartbroken).

What a WONDERFUL meatless day of eating! I didn't plan that at all, but sometimes, I just can't take another bite of the carne. I'm no vegetarian, just need a break sometimes. Aaaahhh...
Under by 132 calories.

Yes, yes, yes to your break from meat!!!!!!!! I try to eat meatless as much as possible!!!!!!!
So I DID MY HALF MARATHON!!!!!!!!!! Come check out my post!
i dont eat much meat either..sundays usually...maybe once/twice during the week?
k LOVE THE CHOCOLATE SYRUP ON THE yogurt---grub.
sometimes i like to put syrup on EACH bite of my banana...mmmm hmmm!
Thank you for your sweet comment!!!! I am considering what I will do next. I am not a strong swimmer; rather a strong sinker.... so a tri would be a stretch. I have info on a duatholon... a 5K, 30 mile bike and another 5K that looks intriguing.
I have to think about it. The emotional journey of doing the half marathon was very painful. It was lonely and turned out great.... but I am still mentally trying to make sense of it all. Does that make sense?
Okay everything that you ate today looks SO good and what's amazing is that you were under calories. So awesome.
I once waited tables at a steak house and we servers played with food A LOT out of boredom and we discovered cottage cheese on potatoes then. YUM!!
Breakfast looks delish. I must try!
Hi - I really enjoy your eat with me posts. I'm wondering how far in advance you do your meal planning and how you do that. . any info you could share would be helpful!
Thanks!

I love cottage cheese with my potato!
Trainer Momma- What do you eat on days you don't work out? Do you just skip the pre-workout snack?
Love these posts they always give me new ideas. I stopped eating meat most of the time awhile back and really haven't missed it at all.
Oh and wanted to make sure you know about a fun give away to win some workout gear! http://runtothefinish.blogspot.com/2010/04/3-changes-challenge-prizes.html
On days I don't work out I do skip the pre-workout snack. And then, I've got to cut down everywhere else too. I really should do an EWM on a Sunday, which is the only day I don't work out. Ironically, that is the one day I do allow myself to have a treat -- so I'm sure I'm over calories that day. Which is why I'm always losing that same 3 lbs... Ah well, someday I'll either learn or stop caring :)
