Day 4 - Thursday - Snack & Dinner

The Snack:


1 cup of steamed edamame

I swear I've seen edamame at the grocery store before, but apparently it wasn't the one in mine town. I bought lima beans instead. I know that's not even close to the same thing, but bear with me....

I wasn't at all hungry at snack time, so I just saved this and added it to our dinner plates. I know that defeats the purpose of eating 5 smaller meals throughout the day, but I couldn't justify eating an entire cup of lima beans for a snack when I wasn't hungry.


The Dinner Menu:


 -2 portabello pizzas (with mozzarella and Italian chicken sausage)
-1 cup of previously mentioned lima beans
-1/2 cup of grapes
-water

My Response:

new to me foods: the mushroom

Well, I'm glad that's over. What you see on my plate is half of what I was supposed to eat. It wasn't as offensive as I expected. But the smell of the mushroom was overwhelming. I was grateful for the sausage, because the texture of the sausage was almost indistinguishable from the texture of the mushroom. The flavor was pretty good. I got about halfway through it and just couldn't eat anymore of the mushroom though. So I finished the topping on this one, and I ate the toppings off the second one that I was supposed to eat.

Very grateful for the limas. If I had eaten them earlier, this would have been a very sparse dinner :(

His Response:

He ate both of his, but he also left about half the mushrooms behind. We won't be eating this again.

The Kids' Response:

They had their pizza on bagels. They loved the grapes but refused to eat the limas. :(  I even tried to bribe them with a cheese stick if they ate their limas. That wasn't even enough.


Still nursing sore muscles from yesterday's planks, but must do my workout shortly....
