Everyday I try to make sure that I come up with something healthy for myself and the hubby to eat. We are bent on changing our lifestyle. Hitting the gym at 5am every morning. I also go to Zumba 5 times a week and go to Hot Yoga every day.
Changing the way we eat helped us achieve the weight loss. I am so glad that the husband and I are both on the same page. It is really a challenge to lose/maintain weight if your other half isn't very supportive of your fitness goal.
I used to not like fruits and yogurt. But for the past 5-6 months now, its been my go to food especially when I'm running late or dont have enough time to eat before I go to yoga or zumba. I eat my "proper" meal after my activities. Its hard to dance around with a full belly. LOL.
Here's an example of our morning meal. I also am posting the nutrional facts for those interested to know. My husband eats a little more than me btw LOL. This is just my meal.
Scrambled egg with tomatoes and spinach
Mixed fruits (Kiwi, Raspberries, Strawberrries & Grapes)
Activia Fat Free 100g
Here's one of my favorite breakfasts: Corn tortilla topped with spicy black bean burger [from Costco], add a dollop of Fage fat-free yogurt. Top this with finely chopped, sauteed multi-colored mini-peppers, onions and garlic. Add chopped cilantro. Add hot sauce. If you want more calories, add a poached egg on top or a second tortilla. Use lots of peppers. These little peppers are loaded with vitamin C and lots of other goodies.
Breakfast: Spinach, feta, and olive egg cups
Lunch: Roast beef, caramelized onion and Boursin on foccacia
Dinner: Baked pork chop with blanched zucchini
Breakfast - English muffin w/ banana granola peanut butter, dannon toasted coconut vanilla greek yogurt, and a banana
Lunch - Sandwich w/ hummus, ham, baby spinach and a fat free cheese slice, baby carrots and celery sticks with fat free ranch, and white grapes
Snack - chocolate pudding made with soy milk
Dinner - boneless skinless chicken breast with a baked sweet potato and broccoli with shredded fat free cheddar! (edit: I was going to have roasted asparagus, but it went bad. Sad!)
Here's a picture of my dinner! It's purdy:

my "meals" are small and spaced throughout the day....
I had 2 fried eggs with a slice of cheese on top at 830 a.m.
I had a protein bar around noon after my workout
I had a sugar-free, 12 oz mocha at 1 p.m. before work
I had a bag of spicy chips and a slice of spicy cheese at work
I had a 100-cal greek yogurt with dark choc chips mixed in at work
I had a bag of steamer veggies and some stronagoff for dinner at 7 p.m.
That will be all that I eat today. My eating goals are: low sugar choices, no food after dinner, and to keep it around 1500 cal.
I had delicious mockaroni and cheese, which I picked up from the low carb board recipes. It's cauliflower and cheesy goodness.
Mockaroni & cheese! Never heard of it,but love the play on words
mrsSnark thank you! Your meals always sound great, too!
Lunch today is:
Homemade stir fry of tomato, onion,broccoli, cauliflower, basil, ginger and green beans in a soy/nam pla/ sriracha sauce (nam pla sounds so much better than fish sauce!) with about 1/8 cup brown rice, followedby homemade curried butternut squash soup.
Dinner: didn't eat yet but it will be two hard boiled eggs mixed with a tablespoon of mayo, one plum tomato, 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese all on top of a bowl full of raw spinach leaves.
Post your meal :)
My husband eats a little more than me btw LOL. This is just my meal.
