For the first time in a long time, I didn’t eat a meal at work. It wasn’t ‘cause I was too busy to eat or forgot to pack grub – I just never felt hungry. I’m sure my fat-laden dinner (sous vide salmon topped with guacamole) prior to work PLUS my large mug of Philz coffee with heavy cream had something to do with my satiety.
When I got home, I finally ate some deli roast beef with roasted bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and Aubergine dip. Then, I dumped the ingredients for slow cooker pork pot roast that I prepped the night before into the Crock-Pot…
…and went with my mother-in-law to another oncology appointment. Yep, sleep today was gonna be shorter than usual.
I woke up a little after 5:00 p.m. and started preparing dinner. Truth be told, I would’ve totally ordered take-out if it wasn’t for this here blog. Thanks. Do you detect the sarcasm? Aren’t you precocious! I kid, because I love…
Since the pot roast was finished cooking…
…all I had to do was whip up a couple of side dishes:garlic cauliflower mashed potatoes…
…and stir-fried heirloom Italian broccoli with some minced garlic.
To give the pork added flavor and color, I brushed it with melted coconut oil…
…and broiled it in the oven for five minutes.
I tore at the roast with a couple of forks and dinner was served.
Here’s my dinner plate:
After dinner, I ran to Philz Coffee for the second night in a row to fill a thermos with Silken Splendor. I don’t normally drink coffee more than once a workweek but I wasn’t too perky in the evening.
Before leaving for work, I did a short burst of exercise in our home gym (double-unders + a quick homemade body weight WOD) and packed some food to-go. Just two more nights to go!
