Breakfast
- Egg beaters and half a cinnamon raisin english muffin with a dollop of cream cheese
- Vanilla Yogurt with a handful of berries (usually strawberry & blueberry) and granola (sometimes I sprinkle with flaxseed
- oatmeal made Hungry Girl style-after it is cooked I add a packet of sugar free fat free hot chocolate (I know it sounds weird) I mix it well and then add in a little chocolate chips and peanut butter chips chopped up fine, and some walnuts...it tastes like a hot No Bake cookie without all the fat and such.
- a bowl of cereal (most of the time Special K with a splash of milk-I hate milk) and flaxseed
- a high protein chocolate shake and a banana (for those quick morning rushes out the door)
- My own version of a McDonald's English Muffin sandwich (so yummy)
- Sunday breakfast varies-it is the only breakfast I get to eat with my husband and it can vary depending on what he wants.
- My favorite is my oatmeal blueberry waffles and sugar free syrup, but pancakes, french toast, egg burritos, or egg omelets fit the bill.
- One breakfast that is on the menu every once in a blue moon is gravy and biscuits (but I am not so much of a fan of gravy, so I eat honey on my biscuit).
Lunch/Dinner
- Vanilla Yogurt with a handful of berries (usually strawberry & blueberry) and granola
- Spinach salad with lots of colorful veggies, LF cottage cheese, and a hardboiled egg
- soup-any kind. I love it!
- Baked potato with broccoli and cheese (I could probably just be happy with the broccoli and cheese)
- (the aforementioned are usually lunches at school or nites when the hubby works late.
- Dinner with the hubby usually is
- a protein (chicken, steak, pork) a green veggie, a potato of some sort and a salad. Sometimes there are more veggies
- or Italian with homemade meat sauce and whole wheat pasta (spaghetti, ziti, lasagna)
- or for those tired nights-a frozen pizza, frozen made ahead meal or take out (maybe one night a week if that)
Snacks
Fruit-strawberries, apples, kiwi, bananas, etc
Veggies-love baby cherry tomatoes, (no dipping required) cucumber slices, celery, etc
bars-fiber one, granola,
100 calorie packs (on an occasion when I want a little something different)
cups-a yogurt, cottage cheese, jello chocolate, or fruity, and creme brulee rice pudding
100 calorie popcorn
a 40 calorie fudge pop or 25 calorie fruit bar
Side note to my chocoholics- Every day I have a piece of Dove chocolate (those little squares) in dark chocolate because it is a more heart healthy, antioxidant choice.
Now lets be honest, this would get boring. I eat very healthy 90 percent of the time. So if I want a cookie, I have a cookie but I try to stop at one. (Although I have to admit when the PTO served the teachers Salsaritas and I thought my mouth was on fire from the salsa and after 2 whole bottles of water didn't help, I ate 2 cookies0a chocolate chip and a white chunk macadamia nut-hey I had to try them both and make sure that they were not poison for my other colleagues.
Exercise
My exercise routine is simple. I have a treadclimber, and I am for at LEAST a mile a day on average. (as long as I have at least 7 miles logged in by the end of the week, I am satisfied. However, I am trying to get it up to 10 miles a week but sometimes baby gets really mad, and I have to stop if it hurts. My goal is 15-20 every week but that might take me a while.
I also do little things during the day. I NEVER sit (except on the weekends). I am up and moving. I fidget. I do leg lifts while fixing breakfast on waiting on the oven to preheat. I lift 5 pound weights during commercials. I just move it.
