This week will be a quick one with a holiday smack in the middle, something tells me I should be able to manage.
I have some GREAT reviews for you this week AND some GREAT eats. What am I waiting for? Let's dig in!
This morning was just like any other Monday...I was scrambling to get out the door and to work on time. I don't know what it is about Mondays, I am always frazed. After getting to work and getting my computer up and running I headed for the coffee pot. Yes, I know that I am trying to cut the coffee down, if not out of my life but Mondays call for coffee, period.
1 stevia packet and some unsweetened almond milk. Oh so good! I paired it with this for breakfast.
Times this by 2....and a side of egg whites (about 2). I would show you the small bowl of egg whites that I ate but they don't photograph well :P
After breakfast I worked like a mad women for two hours and then headed over to the gym. My knee is bothering me today so I am focusing on my arms and abs today. I don't want to push it and be out of commission for the rest of the week. So no lower body for me today. After 50 minutes of lifting weights I came back to the office for this!
What's that chopped up in my salad you ask? Well, I got a surprise from the people at Quorn! I was delighted to see a new product to try from them. As you already know I am a fan of all of their products so I couldn't wait to try this new "burger" out for my lunches this week. I decided that I would go with a "Turkey" burger salad. I have one thing to say about these. LOVE AT FIRST BITE!

Go there for the best foe meat products that are on the market. In my opinion I think that they are fantastic! Everything about these burgers are perfect for me. High protein, low carbs and calories and you have yourself the perfect base for a great meal. This burger really kept me full for a long time.

I have to say that so far this is my all time favorite. I do love the chicken patties with a passion but these are really great. I am going to make a sandwich with it tomorrow and boy is it going to be great. A+ from me!!!
After lunch I continued to work and about two hours later it was snack time for me again.
One raw bell pepper and a hand full of almonds. Probably the most random snack I have had in a while, I will admit though that I did like it!
I was almost done for the day when of course things came out of the wood work. I managed to get done with work right on time and off I ran. I wanted to get out of there desperately today. One more day and I have off! This is going to be a great break in the middle of the week for me.

When I got home I went for a lovely walk. I came back to the house and stretched. After about a hour of stretching and yoga I decided that dinner needed to be had. So I went into the kitchen for my newest soup! I am addicted to soup people. I am sure that you will all get sick of seeing it on my plate but I have to say. The way that I make soup is a MEAL and it is good. This evening's soup is creamy potato!
Creamy potato soup with chopped chicken, roasted veggies, chives and topped with cheese. This was a THICK soup that filled me up big time. I had a couple pieces of dark chocolate and that was that. A cup of hot tea was all that I had at the end of the night.
This is my review and my food for my week. I have to say, it is a another goo one! Yummo!
