Packed with Protein... Tuesday, May 15

Today I got quite creative in the kitchen after surfing around the net for some interesting but simple dishes to cook.  Ended up making one mean spinach chicken soup and a brown rice with chicken dish.

And because tomorrow is yet another wicked, wicked Wonder Woman Wednesday, my experimenting with cooking continued on and cooked up various meals for tomorrow.  On Wonder Woman Wednesdays I leave the house at 6:50am and return at 9pm, only to them change clothes, take the pups out for a bathroom break and then head out to boxing till about 11pm.  It's by far my busiest day of the entire week and it's spent trekking around three different cities here in Korea.  I eat my first meal -- my protein-packed pancake -- at home before I leave but then I eat the next five meals on the go. If I come home a bit early, I ditch the fifth on-the-go meal for something from the fridge before boxing and then after boxing I usually have a protein shake.  Sometimes my on-the-go meals are literally eaten on the go, like running for the bus and chowing down on an E-Pop Bar.  What's an E-Pop Bar, you ask, good question.  It's a spin-off of the Lara Bar recipe that a friend gave me.  My E-Pop Bar is a mixture of prunes, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and dried mango.  

Tomorrow's 5 packed meals:

1 -- E-Pop Bar 

2 -- garlic chicken on a bed of greens with garlic pepper sauteed mushrooms and brown rice 

3 -- baby spinach mixed greens salad with a little cheese and a raspberry dressing, small hard-boiled eggs

4 -- E-Pop Bar and half an orange

6 -- a mixture of some of meal 2 and meal 3 leftovers

extras -- black coffee bag, green tea and a reusable water bottle.

Eating is 80% responsible for the way my body looks, works and feels, and after slaving away at the boxing club and whatnot with my training, there's no way I want my eating to cancel out all my hard, hard work.  You may not be what you eat but definitely what you eat can make you more than what you are today.  

Everything you eat either hurts you are helps you.  

What's your food doing for you?!
