Daily Food Dairy #15 | Jan. 15th 2016

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. 

Spinach salad (I barely ate any)

1/2 glass of water

Snack:

16 oz water 

Dinner:

Grapefruit &Turkey

8 oz water

What are you guys up to this weekend?

Daily Food Diary #11 | Jan. 11th 2016

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)

Handful of raw almonds

1 orange

16 oz water

Dinner: Turkey & Kale Soup (Recipe HERE)

This was so good guys! I highly recommend it. YUMMY!!

16 oz water

 

Once again I'm not happy with today's diet. I missed both my snacks and I didn't drink enough water. Hopefully tomorrow I will do better.

See you tomorrow!

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?

Here's what I ate today.

Breakfast:

2 Toaster Strudels (they tasted fake)

1 small glass of orange juice

16 oz water

Dessert:

Daily Food Diary #8 | Jan. 8th 2016

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)

32 oz water 

Lunch: 

Leftover Chicken Tortilla Soup

16 oz water

 

Snack: Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie (for 2 people)

2 tbsp Peanut Butter

1 cup of Oatmeal

1 handful of baby carrots

3 bananas

Almond Milk

Ice

 

8 oz water

 

Dinner:

1/2 filet of Red Snapper 

Cauliflower

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.

 

See you tomorrow!

Daily Food Diary #7 | Jan. 7th 2016

I'm sore. LOL. That's about it really. Jay's been working my booty off at the gym. I can't say I'm a super happy camper when I work out. I get grumpy, tired, irritable and just want it to be over with. So usually Jay gets yelled at while we're there and once I'm done, it's all good haha! Poor guy. 

I've also noticed since we started working out, that the salads for lunch aren't cutting it. I'm so much hungrier and feel like I need more, so I've been adding some good carbs to our meals.

Here's what I ate today.

Breakfast:

1 Grapefruit

Turkey (like always)

1 cup of Green Tea

16 oz Water

Snack:

32 oz Water

1/2 Banana

1/2 cup of Pistachios

Lunch: Chicken Tortilla Soup (for 4 people)

 2 tsp Southwest Blend Seasoning (Costco)

2 tsp Chicken Boullion Paste

2 Carrots

2 Celery Stalks

3 Kumato Tomatoes 

3 cloves Garlic

4 cups Hot Water

Put those all in your vitamix on high for 1 minute. Then add 2 rotisserie chicken breasts torn into pieces, 1 handful or blue corn chips, a pinch of parsley & 1/2 cup of sweetcorn. Put on variable 1 until everything is mixed in and chips are broken up. (30 seconds)

Snack:

1 Pear 

Handful of raw almonds

Dinner:

BeachBody 21 Day Fix Turkey Meatloaf

 Asparagus

Broccoli 

(I didn't have ground turkey and we have a bunch of ground beef to use up so I used that but obviously turkey ground would be better). This recipe was delicious.

Thanks for reading guys!

See you tomorrow!

Daily Food Diary #5 | Jan. 5th 2016

Hi Guys!

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)

RECIPE LINK HERE!

16 oz water

 

 

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!

See you tomorrow!

Daily Food Diary #4 | Jan. 4th 2016

Hi Guys!

Today was my first day at the gym. It's been a very long time since I was in the gym and the minute I started stretching.... I felt it haha! I hate stretching. It hurts. A lot! But I got through it and by the end, it was feeling pretty good. We basically just did a bunch of stretching and exercises with our own body weight. We plan on going Mon - Fri while the kids are at school. I woke up extra early to get ready before the kids woke up, so that I could still film while they were at school, and still get my work out it. Ahhhh, the sacrifices we make to look good. I'll see you one day sleep. It will be delightful.

Today I was busy and lost track of time. I didn't eat my snacks like I should have. I'm hoping tomorrow I will remember to eat them.

Here's what I ate:

Breakfast:

2 slices of Turkey Bacon

1 Grapefruit

16 oz of water

Snack:

8 oz water

Lunch: 

Cucumber Salad

1/4 English Cucumber diced

2 Kumato tomatoes diced

1/2 avocado diced

1 slice of red onion diced

1 chicken breast 

Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tsp spicy brown mustard

Pinch of salt & pepper

3 tbsp Sesame Oil

16 oz water

Snack:

1 cup of green tea 

8 oz water

Dinner:

White Fish (cooked the same as yesterday)

Broccoli

Asparagus

Carrots

16 oz water 

 

No headache today. I did have stomach cramps (low down) and Jay said it was because we worked on our cores. They went away by the evening. 

I'm off to bed now guys!

See you tomorrow :)

Today I am hungry. I feel like my body has realized I'm not joking around with this whole eating healthy thing. I think the first and second day, it was just thinking it was a good day. But today I have been hungry all day, even after I eat. So I think it realizes we gotta start eating some of that fat off hahaha!! I've also peed all day. I feel like the last three days have been spent peeing. I find that when my pee is clear, I know I'm drinking enough and when it starts to not be clear... I need to drink more.

I also noticed I've had a headache today that started in the afternoon. I had this when I went on the South Beach Diet. I remember it well. It wasn't fun.
