Swan Lake Eats Her Cake: Chickpea Madness!

So I haven’t felt so hot the past few days, therefore, I’ve decided to forego the gym. I feel better today than I did the previous two, but I think the gym is still a no go for me today.

To back track, last night the bf and I met one of our friends to celebrate her birthday. How did we celebrate? Well we went to all you can eat sushi of course! The restaurant was called Ijji. I ordered three different long rolls and yes I ate them all. There are three foods I have a bottomless stomach for: sushi, pizza, and ice cream. Really healthy right?

This morning I simply needed another Venti iced coffee from Starbuck’s. Any other substitute just wouldn’t do. I think I may need to do something about this addiction.

Breakfast was some OO (Overnight Oats). I hadn’t prepped them the night before but I left my “supplies” at work and so I made them first thing and then let them sit for about 45 minutes. It was actually quite a perfect system.

No little berry! Stop trying to run away!

I’ve mentioned this before but it’s worth mentioning again I suppose, I also take a multivitamin and two fish oil tablets in the morning. A multi-vitamin to be safe, and Fish Oil because by golly Michael Pollan says it’s a good idea.

Snack #1 was a little diddy I thought up all by myself. I’m quite resourceful like that. I had my last sandwich thin toasted with a thin spread of cream cheese and a cut up apricot on top. It was ok. I actually would have preferred to have the fruit on the side and just eat the sandwich thin and cream cheese separate. You live, you learn I suppose.

Lunch was a delicious sandwich on my Great Harvest bread. In the mix:

2 slices of bread

¼ of an avocado

2 stripes of roasted red pepper

2 slices of roasted eggplant

A serving of turkey lunchmeat

Plus a side salad with some balsamic dressing.

Afternoon snacks were a 100 calorie bag o’ popcorn and my last slice of bread with my last bit of turkey and the last bit of cream cheese lightly inside. I won’t be in the office for lunch tomorrow and so I thought I’d clear out some “last little bits” in the refrigerator.

Sooo since I didn't go to the gym I thought it best to go home and cook in bulk. I have been wanting to make Angela's Jiffy Curry Chickpea Burgers, and I had all of the ingredients so I embarked.

1.5 c cooked chickpeas

1/2 c oats

2 carrots

1 tbsp olive oil

1.5 tsp cayenne pepper (I didn't have curry)

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp pepper

3 tbsp sunflower seeds

1/4 c pumpkin seeds

So it's slightly different, but not really.

All together now!
