Oh I am so proud of myself! So 1st, on Saturday I went to California Adventure with my family and I made whole wheat biscuits and turkey bacon for breakfast (yum). Next I packed tuna, whole wheat bread, apples, carrots, and nuts for food and we didn't buy any park food. We saved money and calories:).
Next, Memorial Day BBQ. I've learned, the trick is to make your own dish to bring and share and make sure it's low in calories/fat yet so tasty you won't be tempted to eat all the pasta salads and chips...I found this cookbook call Cook yourself thin from the tv show on lifetime. It is amazing, the idea is to cut as many calories in a dish without cutting the taste. So for our BBQ today, turkey burgers, chicken breast, veggie kabobs, multi-grain fat free mac and cheese (it is to die for, everyone wanted the recipe)and a lemon and orange cake that was incredibly difficult to make but the taste more than made up for the hard work not to mention a nice big slice packed only a whopping 220 calories!
Now, I have 2 weeks before my friends wedding that I would like to look fabulous for. So now, I buckle down. Morning: hard boiled egg, fat free yogurt and a handful of granola, Mid Morning Snack: spinach smoothie, Lunch: Lean Cuisine, Dinner: Soup and Salad. For the next two weeks:) I'm so determined and motivated it's exciting to see what kind of results I will have.

How's the meal plan been going for you?
ReplyDeletereally good actually! I'm excited to see myself starting to have discipline and self control especially since those have never been my strengths. I'm loving my soup and salad dinners. Something about my taste buds have changed, salad is my new favorite meal, especially yummy ones like the strawberry fields one at souplantation, YUM!
ReplyDeletelunch is the hardest though, I'm not a big fan of lean cuisine's but I know they work for me:(. Like today after kickboxing I wanted a cheeseburger sooo bad but I knew that just meant my body needed protein from working out so hard so I went home and had a protein bar, not nearly as tasty but it filled me up.
