Hello everyone!! Hiya debbie!!! and YAY AMIE!!!! amie, your posted menus are as healthy and precise as aphils...and that's good, girl! and kudos on your exercising, also!!!
me yesterday-
4 egg whites/1 egg and 1 cup chopped broccoli
slice whole wheat toast, dry
coffee with 2% milk (as low as I can go )
no chance for a snack midmorning
4 ounces turkey breast
slice homemade oat bread, prolly counted as 2 servings worth
pm snack - 8 oz nonfat yogurt with 1/2 banana, some grapes
big green salad; a small amount of coleslaw made with lowfat mayo on top of the salad; and then the not-so-good stuff - my husband brought home chinese food (sigh - still knowing how ****-bent I am on losing these few pounds, sigh) so I had less than 1/2 cup fried rice, and a small serving of some kind of mystery meat
today -
1/2 cup Kashi with 1 cup nonfat yogurt, a few pieces fresh pineapple, half a banana
coffee and 2% milk
1/2 sandwich wrap (lean meats, veggies, a THIN schmear of mayo and mustard). I'm guessing (okay, hoping) it couldn't have been over 300 calories.
coffee with whole milk (no 2% available)
snack - a hastily grabbed slice of bread and diet soda
big leafy salad; two heaping tablespoons of that yummy coleslaw on top; half a chicken breast.
and I still have time for a fruit snack
still needs work, but MUCH better than what I've been having for, say, the last 6 months
I think I will chose tomorrow as my one day off from exercise, as I have to get up at 3:15 am to get to work to do baking. Or maybe I'll do a quick aerobic session, but definitely need to rest these triceps! But I love what Gilad says, that it's during the recovery time that the progress is happening. So you continue to feel good about your workout, even afterward
The "Cardio Classic" of his I did this morning was easier than the "Cardio Blast", in that it didn't have those boxing moves I'm not really used to. But I guess I'll adapt.
For me, now it's motivating to think of getting fitter, smaller, tighter, leaner during these winter months when everything's covered...then wearing the more skin-revealing summer things when it gets warmer...and thinking of my beloved motorcycle, riding it everyday, going to rallies, feeling fit and great and strong
we need a motorcycle smilie, please
