The FitFluential DietBet officially started today! There’s still time to signup if you want to join – the pot is up to $9925!! Danny and I are weighed in and ready to go!
My weight is up a bit recently, but I also ate way too much this weekend. (What? You’re not surprised because I overeat every weekend? Story of my life.) My weight always seems to fluctuate a few pounds so I’m not too worried about it.
I am going to try really hard to keep my weekend eating under control for this DietBet. I will continue with Weight Loss Wednesdays starting next week. When this DietBet is over it will mark one year since I started my weight loss jounrey 
Yesterday
We made sure to eat a good dinner last night. I made garlic brown sugar chicken for Danny and the kids.
I followed this chicken recipe that I found via Pinterest. I also made green beans and brown rice. I tend to make a broccoli and carrots so the green beans were a nice change.
Jaden wouldn’t touch them though. He wanted soup instead of green beans. Whatever. I’m lucky I got him to eat the chicken.
I had salmon, green beans with onions, and a clementine.
I also threw some blueberries on my plate at the last-minute. I’m pretty sure that I eat clementines and blueberries every single day. And when summer comes, it’ll be watermelon and strawberries. Yum! I love summer fruit.
Today’s Workout
- Plank #12: 2 minutes and 52 seconds. I was dying today. Dying.
- 1.05 miles treadmill, walked
- Butts and Guts class – 60 minutes
I plan on starting my training plan for the Biggest Loser 15k soon, I just have to figure out how to work it into my schedule. I am so used to taking my exercises classes on certain days so it’ll be an adjustment to stick to a training plan.
I received this email on what to eat post workout:
I seem to be doing good with post work out eating because I eat almost all of these foods – usually for lunch. My favorite post workout snack is a protein bar or Greek yogurt.
Lunch
Lunch this afternoon was a bagel thin with three egg whites and provolone cheese.
I also had veggies with hummus, a clementine, and blueberries. Yes, again. I told you, everyday.
Tonight, I want to bring Danny over to TJ Maxx because I saw some pieces of furniture that I really like over there. I am just worried that if I buy one dresser or nightstand at TJ Maxx that I won’t be able to find other pieces to match it somewhere else.
I also want to put up a big mirror in the corner of our room like this one via Pinterest:
Our room is small so I’m not sure how it would work.
Too many decisions!!
Have a great afternoon!
- Is there anything you eat almost every day?
- Have you ever stuck to a training plan? Did you have to rearrange your schedule?
- What was for lunch today?
- What color is your bedroom furniture?
I eat an apple and an orange every day. Always. I pack them for work–they both travel so well, so it’s easy.
The new Whole Foods is in Kildeer (up by Deer Park Mall). I’m still going to shop at the Schaumburg store b/c it’s closer to where I live. But this one is decently close to work, so we thought it would be fun to stop on our way home.
I wish they’d build a Whole Foods closer to me! At least Schaumburg isn’t too far. I just want one right down the street! lol!
I eat peanut butter toast & coffee every single morning of my life, I live for it and cant wait for breakfast! Im training for a few half marathons this year and 90% of my training happens before 6am…yipes! You could always mix and match furniture, that is really popular right now, just accent in a color theme (bedding, frames, flowers, curtains, etc)
Before 6am?! You are awesome!!
we are meeting at 4:15 tomorrow morning for a 9 miler followed by coffee & pumpkin bread at Starbucks, ahh good times, ha!
This is probably ridiculous but I cannot go a day WITHOUT an apple. When we were in Costa Rica for our honeymoon it was the thing I missed the most.
I love apples too – I eat them all the time! What’s your fav?
Honeycrisp but they are TOO expensive to get all the time. I’d probably go with Fuji for number 2 or Golden Delicious. you?
You’re right – Honeycrisp are soooo expensie. They’re the only apple that my husband will eat so we spend like $5 on two apples! It’s crazy!!! I also like gala and fuji apples, but Honeycrisp are my fav
My husband loves them too so I usually go for my 2nd or 3rd choice so only one of us is buying the expensive ones.
Your lunch looks good. I’m a big fan of sandwich thins!
I have plain oats with raisins for 2nd breakfast almost every single day. Yum. I thought it was so bland when I first started having my oatmeal without a ton of sugar but now I love it.
I have a hard time sticking to training plans because I tend to get bored and want to do my own thing!! However, back when I first started running I did stick to the Couch to 5K plan and it worked so well!!
Something I eat everyday? Lately it has been quinoa but I am pretty darn sure to have peanut butter almost every day, too!!
