Back on track and it feels great! Had a nice, easy day today, guilt-free!...Granted I managed to keep myself busy but still I ate wonderfully and worked out too. I could still be drinking more water but I'm working on it! I went to spin class today (Mondays aren't as fun as wednesdays though) and am so glad I'm back into it...I can't believe that just a month ago I was upset and missing spin and now here I am doing it twice a week again...it truly is my favorite workout! I also went to trader joe's again and got some really good buys...here is what I picked up!
-A pack of "pesto chicken" - fresh from their meat section, it's basically a few chicken breasts marinated in a pesto sauce...very low cal and high in protein!
-A tin of "espresso pillow" chocolates...they are "toffeed" espresso beans covered in dark chocolate and are fantastic!
-A bag of spinach
-A bag of salad mix
-A bag of frozen mashed potatoes...only 100 cal/serving!
-Frozen asparagus
-Frozen stir-fry vegetable mix
-Frozen meals: 2 pizzas, 1 tortellini meal, 1 filet of sole meal, 1 chicken enchilada meal, 1 spinach lasagna meal
-Masala sauce
-BBQ sauce
-Stir fry sauce
-Vanilla unsweetened almond milk
It's always nice to have things to work with...I bought the sauces so I could use them as marinades since it's really hard for me to eat chicken plain.
Trader Joe's is my favorite. haha.
Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
-1 packet plain oatmeal with 1/2 banana and 2 strawberries
*Still a favorite
-1/2c unsweetened chocolate almond milk
*If you're going to drink chocolate milk, go all the way...don't do it half-assed...this stuff tasted like crap!
Lunch:
-Chicken stir fry (1 4oz chicken breast, 1c stir fry veggie mix, 1/4c stir-fry sauce)
*This came SOOOOO good! But I DEFINITELY did not need 1/4c of the sauce. I can use a tablespoon and it would suffice.
Dinner:
-1 panko-breaded tilapia fillet with 1 tbsp ketchup
*Really good, takes 20 min in the oven but it's totally worth the wait...nice & crispy!
-6 asparagus spears
*These were good, and I ate them plain...no dressing, oil or butter
Snack:
-1c fat free cottage cheese with some blueberries & 1 strawberry
*Love the sweet/salty combo
Snack:
-22 pieces (serving size) "espresso pillows"
*Tasted like eating a latte haha
Water:
-1.5 bottles (going to go downstairs and get more now)
Exercise:
-Spin Class: 1 hr
Feeling really good today, super proud of myself and it feels great to have those bad days behind me! I can only go forward from here.

I went to TJ's today too!!
ReplyDeleteI go there regularly to stock up on their Tuscan white bean hummus, dried mango, and some of their dried fruit/nut mixes. They have a not-so-bad for you pear gorgonzola vinaigrette dressing that is awesome too. Today I picked up a black bean dip to try that I heard good things about.
