I tend towards that template whether I mean to or not!

Last night, we ended up at a wing place so I ate plain wings and carrots and celery for dinner. I didn't ask what kind of fat they used in cooking (I'm sure it was something) so it was my own fault that my gurgling stomach kept me from falling asleep last night!
Today will be better, I hope. Dinner is still up in the air because we are bowling in a tournament at 6pm so I have no idea how long that will take.
B: chicken apple sausage, roasted sweet potato, couple of bites of pineapple, black coffee

D: ??
small glass of almond milk and 2 dried apricots before boot camp.
I felt awful after class; the mold spore count is in the severe range and it's been like this for 10 days, with no end in sight.
B: 2 eggs, over easy, with green chili salsa, 3 slices of chicken breast, 1/4 avocado, an orange, coffee
S: I felt so horrible when I was leaving for work that I ate a piece of Ezekial raisin/whole wheat bread. After seeing my first client (a very resistant teen) I realized my stomach was upset, too. But, I got to my office, waited an hour and by 1:00, I wanted lunch.

S: corn tortilla and hummus
D: grilled Ahi tuna, red quinoa, roasted brussel sprouts, very small glass of red wine

Last night's dinner was a salad from Chipotle. When I got home, I split a kombucha with my husband because I've been having digestive problems and I thought it might help. Not sure if it did or not!
Today
B: bacon, eggs, salsa, black coffee
L: meat marinara over a pile of mixed veggies (broccoli, cauli and carrots), blueberries
D: grass fed beef burgers topped with guacamole, baked sweet potato spears, green salad
I'm cooking a pile of food this weekend, so next weeks' meals should look much more interesting!

L: lettuce wrap 'sandwich' of avocado, smoked salmon, onion and part of a massive baked sweet potato (actually cooked at low temps fo 14 hours - and it wasn't overcooked!!!!)

I put a brisket in the fridge to thaw, I've never cooked one so it will be interesting!
