Snack. A bar of Pure Protein. Dinner. Chicken sliders (with grilled chicken got from KFC.) When I do it next, I better do the patty with ground chicken.   Workout. 45-minute-run. Sit-ups.

Snack. A boiled egg (with sriracha) and a bar of Snickers ice-cream bar (which, has the same calories as a bar of chocolate deluxe-flavored Pure Protein.)   Dinner.  Grilled salmon, with a sweet chili-lime base. (Grill the salmon for about five minutes on each side.) Workout. 30-minute-run. Grocery. ShopRite: $66.45 + Adams: $8.38 + AccuPrint: $2.50 = $77.33 CHILI-LIME BASE. 2 skin-on salmon fillets or steaks. 4 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce. 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. 1 tablespoon of garlic. 2 teaspoons of lime juice.

Snack. Dutch baby. A few pieces of Jack Links' jerky. Dinner. Rigatoni and cauliflower al forno.  M. and I shared a cup of Kozy Shack's Crème Caramel Flan. The only rub with this preparation is that rigatoni takes a long time to get cooked and is best baked after it's al dente. And that calls for a fair amount of a cheese that melts.   Workout. 45-minute-run. Sit-ups.
