I'm doing 41 things
For some reason I can’t respond to comments, so I have to respond to sixndone here. They asked about what I eat now that I eat smaller meals more often.
Well it’s been a little over a month since I started eating healthier and working out. At first I started eating smaller portions of what I normally would eat. I paid attention to calories, carbs, protien, sugar, etc. I made sure I was eating 1 serving and not 3.
More recently I went on a week of veggies and dairy products. Luckily I love veggies and fruits so that was easy. I wasn’t taking in enough protien and possibly iron because I felt weak towards the end.
Now I only eat fried food once a month (a huge change since I do live in the South) if at all. I eat baked chicken and fish. Here is a typical meal plan for me.
Breakfast
Hot cup of water w/lemon juice, 1c of oatmeal made with water, a spoonful of sugar free applesauce and a dash of cinnamon
Snack (only if I am hungry,which I usually am not if I eat oatmeal or else I have this as a dessert some days)
Chocolate soymilk smoothie made with half a banana, 2c chocolate soymilk, 4-6 ice cubes, half a cup of fat free vanilla yogurt and a dash of cinnamon
Lunch
Small salad (lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots) with a dash of dressing or a dollop of cottage cheese and some croutons for extra crunch
Snack (before my workout)
1 slice whole wheat bread and 1tsp creamy peanut butter
Dinner
Large salad or Baked fish w/ half a sweet potato
Dessert (one of the following, usually only 2-3 times a week)
A piece of fruit, chocolate soymilk smoothie, vanilla soymilk smoothie or I make a blend of fat free vanilla yogurt with canned (sugar free) peaches (4-5 slices.)
I have lost 10 lbs since I started (Dec 11, 2006) and 12 inches total.
