Week 1

Monday – Started out good with boot camp. Breakfast egg whites and asparagus, 10 am green smoothie, lunch – oy … screwed up here didn’t eat on time and ended up eating nuts and bag popcorn… dinner: chicken and salad.  All-in-all not a horrible start.

Tuesday – I say a 10 both workout and food-wise. Workout C25K training – 5 min warm up, 3-5min runs, 2- 3 min walks and a 5 min cool down… Felt good.  Food… egg whites and asparagus, 10 green smoothie, Lunch – 5 jumbo shrimp, 2 cups of salad and 1/3 cup of brown rice, pm snack 15 almonds and 1 hour later an apple… feeling a little hungry so sipping on a cup of hot tea…. Dinner – I think I just found a new food I LOVE – Val’s Cauliflower Rice

So dinner, 4 oz of ground lean turkey meat, cauliflower rice, green beans mixed with a side of salad – super yummy!!

Oh and I did run out at lunch and picked up my bootie short, some quiona grain, and some cacao powder for my smoothies. A little nervous about tomorrow – my first day doing a double workout in the morning.

Wednesday – ok pre-boot camp workout not so bad… getting though boot camp after…. Yikes… but I made it!!! Food … woke up at 6 am and had 1/4 oatmeal measured dry, egg white and asparagus after boot camp and green smoothie at 10 am… have an appt at 12 today so will have my almonds and apple around 11:30 and then have my lunch around 2:30 pm – if I get hungry later will have a cup of green tea to hold me until dinner…Dinner, probably the same thing as last night – not feeling to creative and I really liked it… Oh and I’m also hoping to go to yoga tonight – this is meditative, relaxing, stretching yoga – so maybe I’ll get through my 5k training in the morning

Dinner tonight Turkey burger, salad and Val’s cauliflower rice w/ shredded carrots – yum!

… and please check out the review I wrote on my friend Anne’s new e-book “the white space solution” it’s fabulous!!

Thursday - Finally got some sleep   This morning C25K Week 5, day 2 … 5 min warm up, 8 min jog, 5 min walk, 8 min job, 5 min cool down… thought it would be hard because of my workouts yesterday, but it actually felt OK… Food today 1/4 cup oatmeal measured dry, before workout – after workout – 1/3 cup of egg whites with 2 asparagus spears, 10 AM Green smoothie (1 carton of coconut water, 1 tsp of berry metamucil, 1 tbsp of raw cacao powder, 1 scoop of whey protein, 1/2 cup cherries, 1/2 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup frozen spinach), Lunch 5 shrimp, 1/3 cup brown rice and 2 cups of salad (includes carrots, broccoli, tomato, cucumber, romaine lettuce, celery and red cabbage – oh and 1 tbsp of chia seed), pm snack 1 med apple and 15 almonds, Dinner tonight Salmon, Cauliflower rice with shredded carrots (I know I’m addicted) and green beans. 

I have to say, I’m feeling really good – my energy is really starting to spike and as I shared on my FB – I’m down 2.8 lbs since monday…. I’m sure a lot of this is water weight, but still – I’ll take it… Official weigh in and measurements tomorrow to head into week 2…

Crap! Confession time – 5:00 pm I cracked – I was feeling really edgy and just needed something… went to the vending machine and got triple reeces pb cup package – omg – the first bite – freaking heaven…. went down and got one more – good grief, when I crack, I go large…

Dinner ended up being just some turkey meatball – nothing else, not great – but I wasn’t hungry – moving on…

Friday – Pre-boot camp workout and boot camp workouts done… oy – my legs are burning… I’ve decided tomorrow needs to be my rest day – my body is spent!  Food – 1/4 oatmeal measured dry, 1/3 egg whites and asparagus, 10 green smoothie, lunch Salmon, brown rice and salad, pm snack apple and almonds. Dinner tonight – Lean hamburg, baked sweet potato fries and salad…. Oh and tomorrow I will post pics and new stats…
