Workout – Monday is my normal off day. It is important to rest your body and not over do it. 4-5 times a week is more than enough physical activity especially if you are doing the right things. There should be a mix, a diversity of exercise. Cross train for a variety! There are so many things you can do and not get bored.
Breakfast – 2 slices of whole grain bread, toasted with almond butter and strawberry preserves. Paleogreens in 18 oz water. This was actually not enough because I was really hungry before lunch time. I managed to hold off and not eat junk food but it was really difficult. I rely on sugar free gum when this happens. It tends to calm my growling stomach and take my mind off food for a while. Cup of Mangosteen green tea pinch of stevia.
Lunch – 1 whole bag of broccoli and carrots, steamed with sea salt pepper garlic and a dash of Italian dressing. 1/4 cucumber and cherry tomatoes in apple cider vinegar, sea salt, Bragg, pepper and dash of Italian dressing. 1.5 ounces of tuna and a medium honey crisp apple sliced. 26 oz water. Cup of hot green goji tea.
Dinner – Huge bowl of collards with smoked turkey. 2 baked chicken wings with BBQ sauce drizzled. Paleogreens in 18 oz water. 1/4 cup pecans and a tablespoon of raisins.
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.
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.
Hey there. I am on a roll…don’t stop me now, LOL. Here is another Graceful Indulgence TIP – To maximize your metabolism and burn more calories, implement interval training or speed burst into your work out. This combined with resistance training will help you begin to see the results of the hard work you are putting in. Don’t just rely on cardio, anything is better than nothing but ask yourself this….how has it been working for you? Are you getting the results you want? If not then you absolutely need to switch it up. Find a trainer and ask questions on what you can do to get the most out of your exercise regimen.
workout – Bow-Flex Tread-climber, interval training. Stop and start for 32 minutes. I go as fast as I can as hard as I can for as long as I can. Then I recover for however long it takes me to and start to crank it up again. FYI, it is ideal to get in a minimum of 8 speed burst.
Breakfast – Berry shake, vegan protein mix, walnuts, flax seeds, 30 fresh blueberries, 3/4 cup mixed berries, scoop of fiber. Yummy! It was extra good today for some reason. I saved some and drank it after my workout for a recovery meal. 20 oz water mixed with Paleogreen, couple sips of some mangosteen tea.
Lunch – 3 baked lemon pepper wing drumettes, whole can of Amy’s organic low sodium chunky tomato bisque soup, gluten free. 16 oz water. Medium honey crisp apple sliced with sea salt.
Dinner – Outback! House salad no croutons or cheese, oil & vinegar, ground pepper and sea salt. Hamburger medium well no bun, red onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup. Steamed veggies broccoli, carrots, snap peas no oil, 1/2 brown bread! 1 Margarita on the rocks with salt and 1 skinny margarita at home. I suppose you can see a reoccurring theme here. My alcoholic beverage of choice is tequila. I L.O.V.E. margarita’s. If I can get a skinny one then so be it, if not oh well.
