Tuesday

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.
This was lunch yesterday...green salad (fresh red lettuce and spinach from the garden, cucumbers, brocolli, carrots and red peppers)...grilled chicken and an apple
Dinner sometime last week. Griled chicken, apple and pineapple, steamed zuchini and brocolli with wild rice

Strawberry protein shake

Dinner last week...red and yellow peppers, baby carrots, watermelon with black beans and rice

Lunch: leftover chili with red peppers and watermelon (i could eat watermelon ALL day EVERY day!!!!)

Breakfast: 3 egg whites with zuchini, red peppers and green onion...served with black bean salsa and an apple

Exercise is good. I did my goal last week of running 5 miles! And I ran it again yesterday....hmmm...maybe I can reach 6 this week?
