I feel like a teenager again.

I’ve been working out 4 times a week for the last 3 weeks. 

And now I’m hungry. ALL THE TIME. it’s ridiculous.

at least i’ve been sticking (mostly) to the healthy stuff. fruit, veggies, etc. i’m still not worried about the occasional cheeseburger, because i’m not of the mindset of cutting out things that are bad for you, but instead focusing on putting more good things in.

i’ve been eating more carbs lately, which i’m fine with because i need them for energy on the bike and in the gym. as a matter of fact, since i’ve been meal planning lately, i’ve decided to try and get in 1 pasta dinner a week.

actually, here’s my meal plan for the week (keep in mind it already started):

monday - night class, had to eat on campus. got a bowl of vegetable soup and a quesadilla with black beans, jalapeños and pico de gallo in it.

tuesday - getting dinner with friends at a local brewpub. it’s suprisingly fancy and expensive, so i don’t know what exactly i’m getting. just about everything on the menu is $25-$30, with the exception of the cheeseburger for $18.50 (lol). but their beer list looks awesome, so excited. really traditional style stuff.

wednesday - chicken shawarma. i actually have to marinate the meat overnight, so i’ll have to prep after i get home from dinner.

thursday - turkey taco casserole. it’s basically a taco made with ground turkey, but no tortilla, so you layer the taco fillings in a bowl and just eat it with a fork.

friday - thai red curry! haven’t made this in a while. delicious stuff. 

saturday - chicken sausage, mushroom and spinach pasta.

so this week isn’t exactly vegetarian, but it’s still pretty healthy - especially keeping in mind that i’m still generally doing green smoothies for breakfast and fruit for lunch.

less than a month until my BikeMS event!

thai green curry

first time making green curry, i usually go for the red.

chicken, green peppers, onion, broccoli, shrimp stock, green curry paste, brown sugar, chopped garlic and ginger, soy sauce, and shredded basil added at the last second. um…yep i think that’s it. sooo good.
