My day has gotten off to a great start. Had my morning shake at 830am and then because I was heading into an hour long workout with Coach Rita I had a quick hard boiled egg white on my way to the gym too. Had a great workout - she had me doing 30 reps of everything and light weight or no weight depending on the exercise. That is exactly the way I like to work out. Deadlifts, shoulder press, shoulder bridge, plies with abs etc....and we talked the whole time about fitness and nutrition and what she does. I always leave so inspired by her.
I just finished my lunch and today I made an egg white egg salad sandwich with tons of egg and a bit of mayo and pepper on whole grain bread. With it I had a 100 calorie bag of chips. So for me that is huge process - I haven't had regular chips in the past 3 days and I am so proud of myself. Last night I made myself my salad plate with chick peas, egg whites and chicken and tons of veggies and on the side I had cold quinoa with yellow and orange peppers and a few craisens and squeezed lime juice on it. Perfect supper and I was satisfied but without that gross full feeling.
I'm off now to run errands - get my nails done, pick up some stuff and then for dinner I"m serving a roast in the crockpot with potatoes and carrots. I will eat just the roast and then on the side I am doing a new recipe of quinoa, cherry tomatoes and some bocachini with olive oil and balsamic.
Today was also a weigh in with Rita - my first one since before Vegas. I knew my weight hadn't really changed and I wasn't surprised that it was the same. So in 3 weeks I haven't gone down at all so I really need to get strict about the food. But the great news was that 3 weeks ago my body fat was 33% and today it was 27% which made me really happy. A lot of that has to do with the amount of water I am drinking now - probably 10 glasses/day. So I'm happy to see that number going down. Now if I can just get my weight down 4 or so lbs that would make me happy as goal number one.
