Just a quick check in today. I am maintaining my weight and got in my exercise (Pump It Up) for the day. I've also stuck to my diet plan as well. It's been really easy getting up to work out, so much so that I wake up before my alarm and get moving before 5:30. This has been great as I feel less rushed in the morning, have time to check Facebook and email, get my water in and stretch! I know everyone is complaining about day light savings, but it has been working out in my favor!
I am also not tempted to cheat on my diet. My jeans are super loose and I want them to stay that way. Plus this weekend is going to be full of land mines. I will have to pick my battles wisely. I am coming up with a strategy to make sure I compensate for the cheating this weekend. For example, on Saturday we are going to celebrate my nieces third birthday. I will be bringing my own lunch and will have a cupcake or slice of cake. This means I not only have to do Tonique but I will go for a three mile jog afterwards.
Today's Menu:
Meal One-protein pancakes (made with blueberries, strawberries and banana), 2 Tbs. greek yogurt w/ stevia, coffee with 1/8 c milk and stevia
Meal Two-homemade lara bar, 1/2 c greek yogurt
Meal Three-vegan crepe with 1 scrambled egg, 1/8 c black beans, 6 tiny tomatoes and 1 tsp parmesan (more on this later!)
Meal Four-chia pudding (more on this later!)
Meal Five-Turkey burger (no bun), 1 chopped tomato with a tiny bit of salt and balsamic vinegar. I wanted to have some avocado but it was not good. boo! So I had 1 Tbs almond butter instead.
This was about 1,250 calories, uping my calories slowly to 1,500.
I have some fun recipes I've been testing out and more on the horizon for next week, so stay tuned!
Cheers!
