So I missed two days of my daily food diary. Sorry guys.
Today I was naughty. I ate two chicken & spinach crepes at Mimi's and it was delicious. I was on a lunch date with my freind and I just have such a hard time resisitng when I'm out to eat. So I feel kind of guilty about my lack of self control. But then I spoke to Jay on the phone in Montana and he was eating pizza. So then I felt like I wasn't the only one hahaha!
Here's what I ate today.
Breakfast:
1 Cup of Greek Yogurt with Hazelnuts
16 oz water
Lunch:
2 Chicken, Spinach & Tomato Crepes with a delightful creamy dijon sauce on top.
What a night we had. Poor Lily had a fever all day on and off and all night, so we were up most of the night with her trying to help her feel better. It's no fun when your babies are sick!
No gym today because Lily stayed home from school and our gym has no childcare. PLus she's still not feeling well. Neither is Jay.
Here's what I ate today.
Breakfast:
1 Grapefruit
Turkey, tomato, kale & 1/2 avocado scramble (no egg)
1/2 cup of Green Tea
8 oz water
Lunch:
(it was supposed to be snack but time got the best of me... it's been a busy day)
I figured I'd ease myself into this whole situation. Let's face it. I'm a sweet tooth. I love chocolate. I've been craving it so badly and it's terrible. I'm only a week in so I'm not ready to have one cheat meal. So for now I'm doing a cheat day and then eventually I'd like to get down to one cheat meal. It's baby steps haha!
I ended up getting a whole lot of exercise yesterday just from keeping busy around the house but I didn pig out and it was amazing. I did ended feeling very guilty by the end of the day. I also felt sick, had major stomach grumblies and i had awful heart burn all night while I was sleeping. Chocolate eh?
Last day of the week to go to the gym and we ended it with a bang. I am exhausted. My body is sore, it hurts to sit on the toilet, get up from the couch, walk in general. I'm pooped! I need the weekend to recover for sure! Also, I'm pretty excited because tomorrow is cheat day! I can't wait lol! I just need one day to enjoy myself a little haha.
Here's what I ate today.
Breakfast:
1 Grapefruit
Turkey warmed up dry
1 cup of Green Tea
16 oz water
Snack: (once again I was at the gym and forgot to bring something)
I wasn't super keen on the red snapper. It was a bit meatier than I like my fish to be and it's also a little more fishy tasting than I like. Not my favorite.
Today has been really hard. All I want is something sweet. Chocolate, cake, ice cream, donut.... whatever. Just not lettuce. We also had a really hard work out today, that kicked my booty so I was wiped out and starving and the last thing I wanted to do was eat a dang salad. LOL. The struggle is real.
Today I was ready to head to the gym and instead I ended up going to the grocery store because I had super bad tummy cramps. I just couldn't imagine stretching and working out. So I feel like a failure today. They ended up getting better towards the afternoon and so I ran up and down our stairs a little bit haha. I felt like I at least did something. I planned on jump roping but got distracted with cleaning, baking cookies with the kids, making dinner and now I'm working on the computer. Fail again. So let's just say I suck today lol. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be better.
I did really enjoy my food today though hahaha! Lunch was so good and dinner surprised me with how yummy it turned out.
Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast:
1/2 cup of Fage 2% greek yogurt
1 handful of raspberries
1/2 banana
1 tbsp of glazed walnuts
16 oz water
Lunch:Pear & Walnut Salad
1 chicken breast
1 Big handful of spinach
1 pear diced
7 grapes cut into thirds
Glazed walnuts
Dijon Honey Vinaigrette (for 2 people)
3 tbsp Sesame Oil
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Spicy Brown Mustard
16 oz water
Snack:
1 Banana
1/2 cup Pistachios
8 oz water
Dinner:
Paleo Stuffed Peppers
(I substituted the tomato paste for 5 fresh tomatoes on the vine)
That's it for me today :) I'm finding my mid morning snack hard to remember to eat because I'm really busy when the kids are in school. I need to be better about it. I also really want chocolate today. WAHHH!
So I woke up this morning STARVING!!! My stomach was grumbling at 6:30 and I was immediately ready for breakfast. Normally I can wait a little while for breakfast, so this was the first change I noticed. I also had to pee really bad haha! Other than those two things, I haven't noticed anything else.
Here's what I had to eat today.
Breakfast:
Turkey cooked dry on the pan until a little brown
Handful of strawberries
1 Grapefruit
16 oz water
1 cup of green tea
Snack:
1 apple and 2 tbsp chunky peanut butter
8 oz water
Lunch:
Khloe Kardashian's Fruit Fanatic Salad from the "Strong Looks Better Naked" book
16 oz water
Snack:
1/2 yellow bell pepper
2 tbsp Hummus
Handful of baby carrots
8oz water
Dinner:
1 Chicken Breast (olive oil, salt & pepper)
Roasted Veggies (Eggplant & zucchini)
16 oz water
That's everything today. While I'm typing this my tummy is growling lol. But I'm feeling just fine and dandy. So far it hasn't been hard at all.
Jay and I have decided to eat healthier this year, so I wanted to start documenting what we eat every day on here, so I keep myself on track, as well as have the recipes somewhere for you guys to find. I'm excited to get into better shape this year because a couple of years ago I felt really awesome about my body, and now I don't. LOL.
Starting on Monday (when the kids get back in school) Jay and I will start going to the gym, which I'm nervous about. I hate the gym but it's cold and icy and I don't want to freeze my booty off outside and Jay likes the gym, so I figured it would be a fun thing to do together as a couple. Unfortunately our gyms in town, don't have child care, so if we want to go together we have to go while they are in school. Hopefully I can still keep up with my work schedule and keep going to the gym. We shall see.
Here's what I ate today.
Breakfast:
2 strips of turkey bacon.
1 bowl of sliced strawberries & bananas.
16 oz water.
Snack:
1 orange and a handful of pistachios. 16 oz water.
Lunch:
Khloe Kardashian's Chinese Chicken Salad from her "Strong Looks Better Naked" Book.
16 oz water.
1 cup of green tea.
Dinner:
1 fillet of White fish (with lemon, parsley, garlic, red onions, salt & pepper and olive oil)
1 cup broccoli
1 cup cauliflower
16 oz water.
Dessert: 1 cup of grapes.
16 oz water.
So far, I feel fine. I'm not feeling deprived or sad I can't eat chocolate. I peed my life away. It was clear by lunch. Sorry if that's TMI but that never happens because I'm terrible about drinking water. The lunch took way longer to make than our normal lunches, which will take some getting used to. It took about 1/2 an hour but usually it's maybe 10 minutes because it's a tuna fish sandwich or something simple like that. This one did take a bit more effort but it tasted absolutely amazing. I highly recommend trying this recipe guys. It's delicious!
