Good Morning! It's nasty, rainy and messy here in Tennessee
this morning but I'm feeling pretty okay about this Monday. Up at 4am, at the gym at 4:45 and it was #LegDay! Some of you may be off of work/school with
the holiday buuuuuutttt, this girl is working!
Days like this are great for
getting caught up because most people don't expect us to be here! J
Today I thought I would share
more about what my meals are right now.
I’ve cleaned my diet up tremendously over the last few weeks. November 1st will kick off a new workout
routine for me that my brother will put together. I'm his big sister but he definitely is my daily motivation!
Meals! I eat 5 daily and since I'm also incorporating the Intermittent Fasting, I eat Meal 1 at 12pm and I eat meal 5 no later than 7pm. If you are curious about the Intermittent Fasting, Google it. There are many, many sources out there both for it and against it. I personally love it and have seen great results with it.
This is today’s:
Meal 1: ½ cup oatmeal with stevia/cinnamon (made with water)4 egg whites and 1 yolk (scrambled)
½ cup strawberries
Meal 2: 1 cup broccoli
8 oz. sautéed chicken breast strips with Ms. Dash
Herb & Garlic seasoning
1 tbsp greek yogurt, Ms. Dash easoning, 2
leaves romaine lettuce
Meal 4: Protein Shake that contains 30 grams whey protein
made with water
Meal 5: Salad: Sautéed chicken (same as above) 2 large leaves of romaine
lettuce shredded up,
½ of a medium tomato chopped
1 cup broccoli (You could also use the romaine leaves and make
lettuce wraps if youused smaller pieces or even shredded chicken).
The
rest of the week is very similar with the exception of small changes. Tomorrow, I’ll have a bagel
with almond butter instead of oatmeal for breakfast and supper will be 8 oz of
SWAI fish, small side salad and broccoli and I substitute the protein shake for
a protein bar just to change it up a bit.
This is what works for ME!!
Personally I do better being a creature of habit. It takes the guess work and the slip ups out
of the equation for me. Am I 100% on
point every day? Ummmm, no. I LOVE to cook and bake. Yesterday I made “the hubs” (yeah sure, for the hubs ;) )
3 dz of
chocolate chip & peanut butter cookies.
I like for my cookie jar to have stuff in it. It makes it look more homey, country,
southern to me. Will I sneak them…most
likely yes from time to time. And you know what….oh well! It helps to keep me feeling so deprived and
honestly it keeps me on point better because I know IF I want one, I’ll allow
myself one. Most days….I don’t because I’m
satisfied with my meals. The other thing
that helps, which I have talked about before, is meal planning. I spent 2 hours yesterday morning first thing
prepping for the week. Then, each
morning all I have to do is pull out that days food and fill up my iiSOBag and
I’m ready for the day. Speaking of my
bag…..
I LOVE this thing!! It has the center
compartment which is insulated and has spots on both sides for an ice
pack. Then it has 2 side and one top compartment
that are also insulated and then 2 mesh pockets on the outside. It literally holds everything I need for the
day plus some! This has definitely made
brining all my things to work easier and I hardly ever use our office fridge
anymore. It’s all right here at my
fingertips and in my office! If you are interested in the bag you can check
them out at Isolaterfitness I have the full Fushcia color but they have many options. I
definitely recommend buying extra containers because it makes meal prep so much easier and they stack perfectly in the fridge!
And I'll throw in some more cuteness overload and make this sweet boy my #MCM I was able to get in several hours of love and snuggle time with him yesterday. I love watching him be curious about new things and learning. He is like a little sponge right now!
Love me some Boog!
Have a great day!
Stephanie
