I am definitely having a “hungry day” today! So far I’ve eaten every meal, except breakfast, about an hour earlier than usual. Hmmm… a bit ironic after my breakfast post about not needing a big meal in the morning!
I had a bunch of grapes this afternoon as a snack. I like this picture because I caught the rear wheel of my bike too 
Note that I ate way more grapes, that’s just all that would fit in my hand for the photo.
I then attempted to ride my bike outside for the first time this year, but I got about 7 minutes in (ie I got out of my neighbourhood) and realized there’s too much sand on the roads still. There are little mounds of sand all over the shoulders – not safe, so I turned around 
I guess I’ll have to try to fit in some training later tonight.
After that little adventure, I was hungry again! I decided I’d better make it a real meal, so I got started on supper: sweet potato wedges and italian tuna melts.
The potatoes just got sliced into rounds and then the rounds into halves to make half-moons. I then sprinkled them with a tiny bit of olive oil and some cajun spices and baked in the same oven for about 10 minutes per side.
Here’s what I did for the Tuna Melts:
- Halve and hollow out a whole wheat roll, leaving about 1/4 inch thickness all around. You can save the insides or just pop them into your mouth as a “while cooking snack” like I did.
- Mix about 1/4 can tuna with 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce. You want this to be pretty thick, so adjust this to your sauce – some are more runny than others! I also chopped up some mushrooms really fine ans stirred them in as well.
- Spoon tuna mixture into the roll “shells” and top with cheese – whatever kind you like but I used low fat cheddar.
- Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until warmed through and cheese melts. Turn oven to broil for the last little bit if you want the cheese to get nice little brown spots.
A close up:
This really hit the spot tonight because it was a bit of a change from my usual dinners, but I’m not convinced it will keep me full as long. I guess time will tell…
Okay, I have a weird craving for raisins today! I just downed two of these little boxes!
The worst part is that I’ll probably still be hungry in an hour or so because of all the sugar!
Edited again to say that I was right! I had the last of my Ezekiel Almond cereal tonight – a big bowl. I’m stuffed now (I think I was a bit too optimistic in wanting to finish the box) but YAY, a new cereal is coming soon!
