Well, I officially made it through week #1 of my “healthy cleanse” diet. Wahoo! It’s been tough, but for the most part I just try to “get ‘er done” and not over think it. I’ve pretty much been eating different variations of the same thing. It is getting very old. Here are some pics of my “creations”…. Scrambled eggs (1 whole egg + 4 egg whites) and chicken topped with low sugar ketchup and Walden Farms Ranch Dressing. How ’bout that???? More eggs! Yes, 1 whole egg +4 egg whites scrambled with peppers, onions and spinach topped with low sugar Continue Reading…
A Fun Race + Healthy Food!
I had the funkiest breakfast EVER this morning… Two hard boiled eggs (mostly just the whites), chicken and cocoa roast almonds! Ya. Weird. I went to the gym this morning and wanted to grab something quick I could eat in the car. Soooo, I came up with this! It was actually pretty good! When I got home, I made myself a yummy protein shake (sorry, no pic.) Later on, I baked a bunch of Yukon Gold potatoes and sweet potatoes. Here’s what Kev and I did with them…. Kev’s plate. He took a Yukon Gold potato (yes, it’s under there) Continue Reading…
It’s Nice to Not have a Raging Appetite!
Well I am officially on Day #5 of my “healthy cleanse.” Yay! I actually really love doing things like this. It’s tough, but I know a little self discipline is good for me! I already live a pretty healthy lifestyle, but I know my “healthy lifestyle” can quickly become a little too casual and comfy if I’m not careful. I told y’all I had 5+ pounds creep up on my lately. I don’t like that! Soooo, I think it’s a good idea to jump start the system every once in a while! In fact, I think I’ll do this cleanse Continue Reading…
Low Carb Swiss Chicken
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope you’ve all had a fun day and are out doing something fun tonight! Kev and I really don’t want to fight the crowds or wait 2 hours to go to dinner (I know, we’re party poopers.) So, we’re going to get some takeout and go to a late night movie. Fun. ************************* Well I’m still pluggin’ away at the low carb stuff and I feel great! I really do. I haven’t had too many cravings, which really really SHOCKS me! I seriously OD’ed on sugar last week and I was expecting MEGA withdrawals. But Continue Reading…
Happy Monday and Low Carb Fare
I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday! I may be a little weird, but I really love Mondays! I think Sunday nights are depressing, but Mondays are motivating! I really welcome the structure and productivity! Woo hoo. Well, I’m still goin’ strong with my little low carb diet. It really hasn’t been too hard. I’m glad because I was expecting the first few days to be tourture! I’ve definitely had my moments of weakness, but they don’t seem to last too long. I just keep telling myself I’m only going to be super duper strict for 2-3 weeks….so Continue Reading…
Low Carb Livin’ Day #1
Well I’m officially on the wagon “hardcore” today! Yay! I started off this morning with a great class at the gym. It’s an “all muscle” class, which I love. We just do an hour+ of mega weight lifting. However, out of all the classes I go to…..this one has the most intense, intimidating people by far! First off, people congregate outside the door 15-20 minutes before the class even starts! Then, when they finally open the doors and let us go in…..everyone floods in and frantically grabs benches, bars, mats, weights, etc. before they are all gone. It is so Continue Reading…
