I made it through my veg pledge! As you may remember, there was that social occasion slip-up, but I’d say the 28 days were still a success. Today is actually the last day of my not-so-challenging challenge, so a lot of the meals I show here will be repeated today. As always, thanks to Jenn for hosting the weekly WIAW roundup!
*Yes, I feel silly saying I actually tried something called “SuperPump Max,” but I actually kind of liked it. This was my third time sampling this particular product, which Muscle & Fitness so kindly sent, and I’ve had a great workout every time. I think it’s the caffeine more than anything, which can be helpful at 5:15 a.m.
Breakfast:egg whites, brown rice, rotel, and sauteed onion
Snack: half a Core Power shake and 7 almonds
Lunch: salad (apple, dried cherries, cabbage, spinach, carrot, and natural lite honey mustard) & 2 tsp pb for dessert
I weigh my dried cherries; those are dangerously good!
Snack: again, the other half of that Core Power shake and 7 almonds
Dinner: 2 homemade bean burgers (inhaled one before serving) and roast Brussels sprouts
Snack: I don’t know how I was still hungry, but I was. I followed up with another rice cake and peanut butter.
That’s a lotta’ yum!

Mmmm.. love brussel sprouts. Like i eat a serving at least once a day!

I’ve never made my own bean burger, but they sound delcious! I used to love making my own falafels though… those are sort of the same, right? Haha. Okay, not really
Great day of eats! Glad your veggie challenge was successful.

Congrats on the veg pledge! Your eats look so healthy! My favorite is the salad – I love the addition of apples and dried cranberries.
November 14, 2012 at 9:57 am
Haha I have those days where I have no idea how I’m still hungry too. Gotta give the body what it wants though

I love bean burgers! I’m having white bean and sage bean burgers on Friday.
These are my favorite ones: http://www.madeinsonoma.com/2012/04/chickpea-cilantro-burgers.html

I don’t have enough cilantro in my life. Definitely checking those out…

Great dessert choice! I can’t be around PB or it gets out of hand
November 14, 2012 at 10:19 am
Love me some brussels sprouts! Do you have a recipe for those bean burgers?? They look fabulous!
November 14, 2012 at 1:54 pm
I very loosely followed this recipe from Edible Perspective. I did actually follow it once in the past though, and it’s a winner. http://www.edibleperspective.com/home/2011/7/19/the-burger.html
November 14, 2012 at 11:14 am
Those brussels look perfect – a little crispy, just like I like ‘em.
My favorite bean burgers are my Ginger-Lime Edamame and Back Bean: http://www.sprint2thetable.com/recipage/?recipe_id=6014217 They freeze really well too!
November 14, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Your breakfast looks good! What is rotel though? I’ve never heard of it!
My favourite bean burgers are Jenna`s boyfriend approved spicy black bean burgers. They`re so good! http://www.eatliverun.com/boyfriend-approved-spicy-black-bean-burgers/
November 14, 2012 at 1:13 pm
I make bean burgers all the time- they’re so fast and easy! I don’t even really think I have a recipe b/c I think the ingredients change every time I make them! Your lunch salad sounds fantastic – dried cherries are the BEST.
November 14, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Congratulations on your veg-pledge completion!
November 14, 2012 at 3:08 pm
YUM! That salad sounds divine! I loooove honey mustard anything lol – I loooove how you count out 7 almonds btw – my lucky number
November 14, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Wooo good job! I’ve never made a bean burger, but I want to try!!
November 14, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Eat some steak tomorrow
November 15, 2012 at 10:09 am
Duck is on the menu, but now that you said the S word, I want it!
November 14, 2012 at 8:03 pm
Isn’t it great what a little caffiene can do so early in the morning?!?
Looks like some awesome eats–yum! This is my favorite bean burger recipe: http://eatmovebalance.com/black-bean-burgers/
November 15, 2012 at 10:08 am
I’ll have to check that out!
November 15, 2012 at 2:32 am
Roasted brussel sprouts are the best…so delicious!
November 15, 2012 at 10:07 am
Agreed! Quite possibly my fav veggie side dish.
November 15, 2012 at 4:05 pm
Your roasted brussel sprouts look HEAVENLY. (And I weigh a lot of my food, too. It is great for recipe creation, and also keeping portions in check
)
My favorite bean burger is this one:

Brussels. I forgot the S. Very important.
November 16, 2012 at 8:48 am
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to check that one out.
November 20, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Boy, you uh… measure your salad out? I didn’t see anything about an ED in your about me section, perhaps that should be next on your list. Wishing you luck in this journey.
