Another awesome day! Ate well, worked out plenty! I noticed that this week I severely slacked on my water consumption, something which I will hope to rectify starting tomorrow! I'm feeling "bouncy" lately, super energized when going up the stairs and even walking around. I'm also starting to notice slight changes in the way my clothing fit. Only marginal, but noticeable nonetheless. I'm really trying to be smart about meals and about eating out, and with tomorrow being valentine's day I'm being extra careful. I made plans to go out to dinner tomorrow night but then in order to save money/eat better I offered to cook dinner for us instead, and my friend was more than supportive of this idea! I then went onto foodnetwork.com and looked up some Ellie Krieger recipes (she's the health guru of FN) and found a wonderful chicken dish as well as some side ideas. My friend then offered to make chocolate-covered strawberries with organic dark chocolate! I'm really excited because I know it will be delicious and healthy too. Now if I could just make sure I'm able to put myself together going straight from the gym to dinner! haha. Well I'm sure you're all wondering so here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
-2 Kashi whole-grain waffles with 1/4c sugar-free syrup
*love these waffles!
-1 trader joe's hash brown
*wasn't really necessary but I've been dying to try one since I bought them...I was NOT disappointed :)
-1/2c almond milk
Lunch:
-1 battered and breaded baked chicken breast (breading: 3 garlic kashi whole grain crackers, 1/4c bran flakes, garlic powder & cayenne pepper) (batter: egg white, dijon mustard, plain fat free yogurt, lightly brushed onto chicken)
*This was an ellie krieger recipe so i know it was healthy! It was good, not GREAT but at least it was flavorful and was a much healthier alternative to regular breaded fried chicken cutlets!
-1 cup homemade salad (romaine lettuce, olive oil, vinegar, onions, salt & pepper)
*i tried to get off some of the olive oil while eating it haha
-1/2c linguine in vodka sauce (fresh homemade)
*really didn't want to eat this but dad made it differently this time and he wanted me to try "a forkful"...it was so M-Fing delicious ahh so good and so worth it!
Dinner:
-1 turkey burger on whole wheat bun with spinach, 1/4c fat free cheddar and 1tbsp chipotle hummus
*really good, and while it's nice to be creative, I really would just like to eat a burger on a bun with ketchup and cheese. I think i'll just stick to that from now on because that's what I crave!
Snack:
-1 blueberry nonfat greek yogurt
Liquids:
-1 20oz water
-1 hot unsweetened green tea
Exercise:
-Treadmill: 30 min, weight-loss program, Alternated walking (3.5mph) with running (6mph) every 5 minutes. Worked up a HUGE sweat
-Elliptical: 30 min, random-program, alternated going forwards and backwards every 5 min.
*And I somehow just discovered the "watch tv while you exercise" thing...I thought that music was best when working out? nah-ah. I watched TV and my hour flew by. What did I watch, you ask? Christopher Reeve in superman and enchanted. Yes, I was that girl.
Can't wait for spin and valentine's day dinner tomorrow! Will obviously post the happenings of the day :)
