Alright here's an extra long post since I need to catch up on homework. First, a look at what I've eaten today/ will eat later...
Meal 1: 1/2 cup oatmeal with dried cranberries and walnuts, 1 scoop of protein powder with 8 oz almond milk
Meal 2: 1 peanut butter and banana sandwich on wheat bread, some more walnuts
Meal 3: grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli
Meal 4 (preworkout): strawberries, vanilla protein powder, ice cubes, almond milk blended
Meal 5 (postworkout): veggie burger, steamed vegetables
This is typically how I eat (minus the veggie burger). Some meat, some vegetables as breakfast lunch and dinner, and I'll try to snack on things that are high in protein. Most days I'll have eggs instead of a shake for breakfast.
I must confess that I fell off the healthy food wagon this weekend and I definitely feel it. There's this bloated feeling that's weighing me down, so I know I have to work hard this week to make up for it. I'm learning that it only takes a couple of bad decisions to screw up what took several days of hard work. So I need to be more cautious with how I cheat on the weekends. More people at work have told me I look skinnier; one regular at the gym said I look "less puffy." I just laughed and took it as a compliment. My family keeps more vegetables in the fridge and it makes me feel good to know that they're becoming more healthy conscious. My goals remain the same. I would like to get more lean in the remaining weeks. The loss of pounds isn't as important to me anymore as much as improving my body composition. This week I would like to make it through an entire core workout without putting my feet down or resting. My core isn't as strong as I would like it to be, so I need to put some extra work into it.
Game time. Let's go.
