hello!
today has been good. i got a lot of my meals planned, i love getting things done!
welp, first things first, breakfast!! the most important meal of the day.
2 eggs + 1/2 cup egg whites (scrambled with pinch of salt/pepper)
1 mini bagel with fat free chive and onion cream cheese
3 pieces of turkey bacon
1 glass of orange juice
1 cup of coffee (fat free creamer!)
make sure to eat all your carbs first thing!
it is best to eat as SOON as you wake up.
i was full all day after breakfast.. its good to be full so you can eat smaller portions for the rest of your day.
for lunch i always have a salad.
-kale, spinach and arugula.
-tomatoes
-cucumbers
-green olives
-boiled egg
-pepper
-honey mustard dressing (a little goes a long way!)
everyone always asks me how i don't get sick of salads everyday, and the secret is to constantly switch up your toppings!!
*i try to stay away from cheese, but if i do use it,
i go with light mozzarella, porvel, or fetta.
*switch your green olives out with black.
*try cous cous or quinoa to fill you up faster!
*i even switch out my tomotoes with yellow or even sundried.
*i like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or even asian sesame.
*dressings are usually fattening, so i stick to honey mustard, fat free ranch and i LOVE light balsamic vinegar. (aldi's!!!)
i also had a fruit smoothie with my lunch.
it was DELISH!
just in case you want to know:
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup strawberries/raspberries
1/2 cup plain fat free yogurt
1 tsp honey
and water to fill line (nutribullet)
very filling!!
this is what my fridge normally looks like:
kind of messy at the moment, but its always stocked full of fresh fruit and veggies!
i have all of my snack baggies ready to go, and my lunches ready to grab.
this is the BEST way to eat healthy and make sure you don't order out while at work!
after work, i went straight to the gym.
if you go home first, you will want to sit down and then you'll never have the will power to make it there. carry your gym bag on you, fill it with your meal bars and protein.. whatever you have to do to keep from stopping by your house first!!
today was arm day, so i focused mainly on weight training.
10 minutes on the stair master, 30-40 minutes of lifting weights and the rest of the hour i worked on abs.
^^some of the arm work outs i did tonight!
for dinner, i made:
-baked tilapia
-stir fry zucchini and yellow squash
-parmesan cous cous
try not to eat after 9pm!
i have a serious problem with midnight cravings..
if you do have to break the rules, try snacking on cottage cheese or 100 calorie snacks.
i always make sure i have some special k chocolatey delight for those rough chocolate cravings.
stay tuned for some more meals and work outs in the future!
as for now, i have dishes to do and a giant melatonin with my name on it.
GOODNIGHT! ;)
