Fri, Sat, Sunday:)

I'm behind...and I didn't take pictures of everything...so here's the last few days
Monday: Breakfast I had this blackberry/blueberry protein shake. I didn't like it:( because of all the seeds from the blackberries. (I like strawberry and peach shakes better)
Lunch: Protein bar/carrots (we had NO food around and I was busy helping someone out)
Dinner: went with a friend out to dinner...I had grilled steak, steamed veggies and rice
Exercise: CardioX
Saturday: I ran EIGHT miles this morning (unfortunately I couldn't do it outside because my hubby had to leave for work at 4am:( so the treadmill was the way) and was famished by the time i got to eat. I felt like regular eggs for some reason...so I cooked those up and had 2 pieces of peanut butter toast (from my mini loaves) and VERY yummy grapes
It was my free day and so I didn't really pay attention much to what i was eating. For lunch I was at my moms and I just did an apple with some deli turkey and pepperjack cheese. snacks were a bit of a bunch of stuff..I don't even remember. Dinner my mom made grilled steak and we had watermelon and baked potatoes. I had ice cream later that night too.

Breakfast: Cream of wheat w/fresh strawberries and 1 english muffin

Lunch: we didn't eat breakfast until after 9am, so before we left for church around 1oclock I just had some grapes and baby carrots as lunch/snack

So, I haven't posted in QUITE a while! I have been a big slacker. I have been eating pretty good, just not documenting it very well. I find that when I take pictures of my food and write down what I'm eating, I do a lot better. So, I'm TRYING my best to make more of an effort to do that! plus, it's great seeing such colorful meals:)
This looks like breakfast, but it was actually dinner! And it was YUMMY!!!
Dinner: 3 egg whites with brocolli, zuchini, red bell pepper, onion and salt/pepper...side of blueberries (yum) and 1 whole wheat english muffin w/spray butter. (not pictured, the other 1/2 of a muffin I ate!)
Lunch: Grilled chicken, sliced tomatoes w/salt & pepper, red pepper slices, 4 apple slices and an apricot(so good!)

Breakfast: Oatmeal

Snacks: 1 fruit leather and a handful of pretzels

Exercise: P90X chest and back and also walked 1.5 miles on treadmill at 7.0 incline

It has been a LONG time since I've done any type of weight lifting, pushups, pullups...so I am SORE from yesterday and it feels GREAT!!! I love P90X...but I am definitely weak and have a long way to go before I get back to what I was doing Pre-Baby!!! But that's okay...I'm working on it!

Catch Up

I'm finding that I just don't have time to write down everything i eat every day here on the computer. I keep track on my own little note pad, but with 4 kids, one being only 2 months old...I just don't have time! So I will post when I can and continue to take pictures and post those too.

Dinner sometime last week. Griled chicken, apple and pineapple, steamed zuchini and brocolli with wild rice

The picture was dinner...realy yummy. I got a recipe for Grilled chicken parmesan (no breading) from my biggest loser cookbook. It turned out really good. You just grill your chicken, when its done you put some marinara sauce on it(i made my own from the cookbook as well) and then top with a little cheese and let it melt. Much healthier then most chicken parmesans out there!!! Paired the chicken with steamed brocolli and zuchini and some canned pineapple (was out of fresh fruit)

Exercise: Level 3 Jillian Michaels dvd and walked 20 minutes on treadmill...my legs were tired/sore from the previous workouts!
