I was happy to pack my lunch and get going. Say hello to my leaning tower of goodies.
Nothing special in my water today.
Breakfast: 1 Red of delicious yogurt, 1 Yellow of oatmeal.
For lunch I devoured this:
1 Green of a cabbage, carrot, tomato and green bean mix (left over from the other day, not soup) and 1 Red of chicken breast with Dijon mustard (in the orange container).
I don't always eat an Orange food group everyday so I utilize the containers for other things because they're the perfect, teeny tiny, size.
I had a half day at work so my snack was enjoyed on the road. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing you have a healthy snack prepared when you're hungry and traveling... Ok maybe a few things. I want nothing more then to avoid all fast food and sometimes it's difficult. If you're prepared then this isn't a problem.
Let's hear it for my road snack: 1 Purple of red seedless grapes! Woo hoo!
I had another snack later on. I did have my lunch early... So it's reasonable. (Snort & chuckle)
Afternoon snack:
1/2 Red of red grapes.
1/2 Red of salsa. 1 Green of a red bell pepper and cucumber mix.
If you're following along you have probably noticed that I eat cucumber everyday. It's a problem and I'm aware of it. Alas, it's great problem to have (wait, is that an oxymoron?). Cucumbers are one of those foods that have so many wonderous benefits (google it) so I will eat ALL THE CUCUMBERS if I so please.
Today was a hot sticky mess here in Florida. I don't know where you're reading this from but if it was anywhere under 90 consider yourself lucky. I certainly needed a lot more water then I drank. I will be sure to chug extra with the hot weather.
Dinner time rolled around and I threw this together:
How about that eating plan booklet photobomb? Teehee.
I had 1-1/2 Green of spinach/spring mix lettuce with chopped raw cabbage and sliced carrot topped with a white vinegar and hot sauce mix. For my protein I had 2 Reds of veggie burgers chopped up and topped with 1 Blue if shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
I skipped a yellow today. I'm supposed to eat 2 a day and I only had 1. Oh well. Less carbs for me.
Tonight I did the "Total body cardio fix".
It was intense. I feel a difference in my strength and ability to do more reps and reach further and push harder on the workouts. The more you do it the easier it is. I was sweating like a lawyer at the pearly gates.
Day 9 conquered! 12 more to goooo!
