I'm Craving....

A SALMON BURGER!!!!! image: prevention.com

Morning...

Hey Everyone,

I've conquered the Monday blues and was totally on schedule yesterday! I left work right at 6:30 and was in my PJ's by 8pm, eating my dinner and watching Castle by 10pm. Yes, the downtime was awesome!! This morning I enjoyed my breakfast bowl, however, instead of adding PB to the mixture I added 14 whole almonds.

This was very satisfying in both texture and taste. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer outside, that's when I really crave big smoothie bowls. Alright guys, till lunch...

Lunch Today...

Alright Guys,

We are halfway through the day and I've accomplished a lot! First off, I have been very productive at work. Secondly, I used my lunch hour to get my work out in! Oh yes, 30 minutes of pure cardio on the stair master, at level 12. Yup, that was a sweat fest. I ate lunch at my desk. Today's lunch consisted of a tuna salad on a Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats. Tuna salad was simply made by taking a small can of tuna (the individual 3oz can) and mixing in a TB of light mayo, onion powder and a few sliced up cherry tomatoes. On the side I took a small bag of frozen veggies and nuked them for five minutes. I then drizzled on some balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes. I also threw in a few cherry tomatoes. Mmm...delish!

Here's how the meal shapes up:
Whole grain: deli flats
Produce: veggies
Lean Protein: tuna
Plant fat: mayo
Sass: balsamic vinegar

Breakfast time...

Well, now that I let everyone know how much I hate Monday's, let's get onto more interesting things, such as what I ate for breakfast this morning!
This morning I had a wonderful Greek yogurt and ricotta bowl, sprinkled with a bunch of Simply Organic Cinnamon. I mixed in one small banana, chopped and two TB of crunchy PB. These days I'm loving the PB by Peanut Butter &Co.
What did you guys have for breakfast?
Question of the day: What's your favorite type of peanut butter and how do you like it?

Monday...again...

Good Morning All,
It's Monday...I HATE Mondays. The only thing worse than Monday's is Sunday night, when you know Monday is on its way. So, here's the plan of action for the day: Go through my work day and get as much done as possible, be productive as possible Use my lunch hour to get my workout in Leave work by 6:30pm Be home by 8:00pm Shower Eat dinner Watch Castle ( I can't help it, I like the show :-p ) And..before you know it, we'll be on our to Tuesday!!! image: http://www.onthegochristianwoman.com

The Cinch!...AGAIN!

Today is the last day on the Cinch! fast forward. As many of you know, this is the second time I'm doing this. The first time around, I lost a considerable 8 pounds, this time, just 1. Now, after the Cinch! fast forward the first time, I have been losing about a pound a week, as I've kept up with the Cinch! puzzle since. I think I did not lose much weight this time because I'm already following these principles, which is good. The only thing that Imissed out on this week was the variety of food I could have eaten. I LOVE the Cinch! and think it's a great plan, but if you continue to follow the Cinch! principles, I don't think you need to do the fast forward again.
