Day 39 of documenting everything I eat is under way. Today I have a full weight workout scheduled. I'm kind of burned out on salads and soup and tired of turkey wraps as well. I have no alternatives in the fridge that generate excitement at the moment.

Bread, other than whole wheat lavash (flat bread) is unappealing but I do need some bread. Cheese is out as is anything with simple carbs or sugar. Maybe salmon or some other seafood will break my menu doldrums going into the weekend. Truth is I want to go to a Mexican restaurant and have a taco combination plate. That will not happen until I am swimming in size 38's.

*My workout was worth about 200 calories, not an inspiring effort overall. I anticipated a better effort from myself.

5:00 EAS protein drink 110 calories 17g protein, 4 grams carbs, 250mg sodium.

8:00 Peanut butter, 2 tspns 120 calories.

10:00 Small bowl of chicken, sweet potatoes, onion. 100 calories, I only took a few bites, bad dish.

Noon Flatbread (whole wheat lavash) turkey roll w/ humus, cucumber and lettuce 180 calories.

3:00 Turkey roll on lavash bread, one entire roll 390 calories.

5:30 Fish soup w/ 6 ounces of salmon (boiled in soup) w/onions, mushrooms, carrots, garlic and cilantro. Total  350 calories for a big bowl, minimum sodium (in broth). 

8:30 Peanut butter 150 calories.

1,500 calories consumed today less 200 in the workout = 1,350 calories net today.
