Tuesday Night

Food: whole grain protein+ pasta with sauteed zucchini and parmesan cheese

Body: walking one block in the rain and wind - was all I could manage!

Mind: catching up on my "movies to watch" list

Hurricane Sandy has officially tackled New York City, and it's meant power outages, closed supermarkets, and limitations on leaving the apartment.  I am incredibly blessed that I am well, and that my family and friends are all safe.  It's been a bit too hectic, rainy, and windy outside to leave the apartment just yet, so I opted for a dinner I could make with what I already had in the house: pasta, zucchini, and parmesan.  Grateful to have a healthy meal, and praying for those who still need power, food, water, and shelter.

 Nutritional Highlights: 14 grams of protein; 15% daily value calcium; 35% vitamin C; 8 grams of fiber

Sunday Afternoon

Food: whole-grain protein+ pasta with spinach and smoked salmon

Body: a 45-minute pre-lunch walk around midtown

Mind: a phone call with my adorable nana

As we prepare for Hurricane Sandy that is soon to hit New York, I decided I wanted to fuel my body with some extra protein before we potentially lose power (and the option of eating foods like yogurt, cooked tofu, and heated-up soup!).  I opted for Barilla protein+ pasta with smoked salmon and steamed spinach, which I purchased a farmer's market yesterday.  It was delicious and helped me power through hurricane preparations!

Nutritional Highlights: 34 grams of protein; 30% daily value vitamin A; 15% daily value vitamin C; 100% daily value vitamin K
