Day 7

Work out – BowFlex Tread Climber – 39 minutes intervals.  Hard as I could as fast as I could as long as I could.  Sit ups on Pilate ball.  Free weights.

Breakfast – Mixed berry shake, flax seeds, walnuts, vegan protein shake (vanilla) scoop of fiber, fresh blueberries and frozen mixed berries (3/4 cup. Paleogreens in 18 oz water. Plain water 8 oz.

Lunch – CONFESSION – I kinda skipped lunch.  Had the rest of my shake after my work out which is considered my recovery meal. Had a few pork rinds, I know don’t judge me.  I like these once or twice a year!  I ate breakfast late today so ended up not getting a good lunch in.  This is what happens when you do not make yourself eat and take out the proper time for meals, this is also a lack of preparation on my part.  I didn’t have anything healthy around that I could eat quickly.  Skipping meals is NOT a good look for anyone!  Try your best to never skip.  BUT don’t beat yourself up if you do.  Its impossible to be perfect so don’t fool yourself by trying.

Dinner – Collard greens with smoked turkey. At least 2 heaping cups maybe even 3.  I make great greens, these were insanely good! 4 small baked chicken wings. Drizzled barbecue sauce on them while baking.  Just a drizzle not a drown or dip. Paleogreens in 18 oz water. Nightcap again!  Actually 2 cocktails today. Not quite sure how my liver feels about this.  When I go back into my journal to assess what my intake is I am sure I will not like the amount of alcohol I ingest. Alcohol is a metabolism deal breaker.  It slows it down and makes you retain weight. I find when I do not drink I am much more lean then when I do.  I try to compensate for it by eliminating other things but over all its something I need to take a look a this and cut back. AND notice I did not say I was concerned about my liver.  I’m NOT! I care more about the calories, the inflammation it causes and what it does to your skin.

Day 6

Workout – Had a personal training client today.  Too much to name!  Plenty of speed bursts, weights, full body moves, cardio, push-ups.

Breakfast – protein shake, no extras!  No time today to blend so I did a plain strawberry whey protein shake.  I try my best to only have whey in moderation.  Leave me a comment on this blog to find out why! 18 oz ice water.

Lunch – leftover Outback from the day before.  About 1/2 hamburger or less with no bun, tomato, pickle and lettuce. Few forks of steamed veggies, and 2 bites of grain bread (brown).  Paleogreens in 20 oz water. Another 12 oz water.  Rice Works chips, gluten free bbq kind, 1st time trying.  Taste pretty good too! A bit dense but satisfied my chip craving because those are my weakness. That and dark chocolate. And a good cocktail. 🙂

Dinner – 2 servings of fresh unsalted pecans. Turkey sandwich on toasted grain bread with lettuce, tomato and red onions yellow mustard and ketchup. Paleogreens on 20 oz water. Another 12 oz ice water. Night cap…its a Saturday night soooo I had 1 skinny margarita while watching Sex in the City 2. Yum! Oh and a serving of dark chocolate covered raisins.
