I wrote about my routine and habits and thought I'd share some of my staple foods that get me through each day. However, before the healthy stuff I'd like to note that I am obsessed with frozen yogurt! It's so good and I have solid plans on Saturday to go get frozen yogurt and then go see Black Swan and I can't wait! I'm WAY more excited about the frozen yogurt than the movie, just being honest!
Okay, so I'm back on the weight loss train and it feels good. Zone is good to me and my staple foods help keep me on track!
Breakfast - Egg sandwich with 1/2 an apple
My egg sandwich consists of 2 eggs, 1 oz of cheese which depending on the cheese is either 1 slice or 1 and 1/2 slices. For bread I use the Sara Lee 45 calorie bread which allows me to have two pieces, which creates a proper sandwich. I put light mayo on the bread and cut up 1/2 of an apple to enjoy with it. The meal itself lacks a bit on healthy fats but I take my vitamins and supplements in the morning which includes an Omega 3 blend which helps me get some extra healthy fats.
Lets also not forget the coffee, very important! However, I make sure to measure out my creamer (which also adds the extra healthy fats I need).
Lunch
Lunch is usually a turkey sandwich but this week it has been my healthy chili (check out my post earlier in Jan which has the recipe). I forgot to add oil to the chili this time so I cut up some avocado to add to it. Its finished off with a Coke Zero (my attempt at only having 1 pop a day). The chili is much more filling than my sandwich, but the sandwich is so easy to put together that it has become my go to lunch
I have two go to snacks that I eat each day. The first is 1/4 cup cottage cheese with 1/2 applesauce (add a little stevia and cinnamon) with a few almonds...YUM! The second is 1/2 an apple with 1 1/2 slices of cheese and some almonds. Yes you figured it out, I eat a lot of apples and almonds and cheese. Guilty as charged. My diet is not 100% balanced but I feel great and love what I'm eating so who cares. PLUS my chili has TONS of veggies and V8 juice in it so get off my back :)
Dinner
I'm trying to cook a decent meal once or twice a week but I'll be honest my go to dinner after a workout is my corn tortilla mini pizzas. So yummy and quick to make and makes me feel like I'm eating something that might not be good for me, but is!
To stay within zone I use 2 corn tortillas, cover each with pizza sauce then put 1 oz shredded cheese on and 7 pieces of turkey pepperoni on each. I then cook them in the oven at 420 until slightly crispy (about 10-12 min). So good!
Sorry, started eating before I remembered to take a picture! |
So there you have it, my meals from yesterday. Best part, I'm down 6.6 lbs now and feeling great!
