Zone Day 26-- Almost a month! Woo!

This week has felt incredibly long, and I'm not sure why. Ever since I started the Zone diet, I haven't felt my usual tired self (thank God!). However, today I do feel tired, almost as though a streak of tiredness has caught up with me. Here's hoping I'm able to get to sleep tonight earlier than usual :)
So.. tonight for dinner! We'll call it...
"An Assortment of Vegetables (and one peach) and Shrimp!"

Ingredients:
9 small shrimp (marinated in balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, olive oil and tarragon)
1/2 of one leek (which is super tasty. My first time!) **Also: Make sure you clean these buggers really well. They're a sand trap!
1/3 of a yellow bell pepper
1/3 of zucchini
and a few asparagus spears

Directions:
Let shrimp marinate for at least an hour (if not longer). Broil shrimp for 5-7 minutes, depending on size. Mine took 5 minutes.

Saute chopped vegetables in 1-2 tsp of olive oil until lightly brown and not mushy (I started with the asparagus first, then the zucchini, then the rest)
Serve 1 peach for dessert

This is slightly less than a 3 block meal, but I wasn't too terribly hungry. Also, I'm planning on an early-ish bedtime, so my snack will come sooner than later.

So, where are the comments from my Facebook friends? Followers are welcome! :)
