Welcome to my EatClean Style post...yes this is even more epic than Gangnam Style stuff!
Instead of getting fatter by all the Christmas goodies I am bound and determined to get leaner and just eat more healthy! Thanks to my dearest blogger friend Serena, I am bound and determine to keep a daily log of my meals and snacks. More for me to keep at it than for you, but feel free to follow the posts!
Where did it all began? Well for me I discovered eating clean last spring when I was training for a half marathon. I've always eaten healthy and grew up eating SUPER healthy, but teaching I don't often take care of myself. When training for my first ever and huge feat run I wanted to be in the best shape possible. I love how I felt when I Eat Cleaned before so I am on a mission to get that feeling back!
Here is a pic to show some snacks I prepared last night!
I have all sorts of veggies bagged in little proportions with hummus ready. Some bags of pomegranate seeds. Om nom nom!! Sadly I remembered today that my school is nut free so all my little nut bags I will have to save for weekends. My latest and greatest purchase!! The Magic Bullet for smoothie making!!
So Lloyd is such an up and coming place (SARCASM!!!) that no one at Sobey's had any idea about Chia seeds, Enamame beans or Quinoa! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope to have better luck at Safeway tonight!
Today's menu:
Bfast- Smoothie: half banana, berries, greek yoghurt, lactaid milk and 2 scoops of protein powder...FIRST TIME USING MY MAGIC BULLET!! Thanks sissy!!
Morning snack- Apple (no almonds :( )
Lunch- Wrap with chicken strips, feta cheese, peppers and cucumber
Mid-afternoon snack- Banana and 2 hard boiled eggs
Supper- Pork chop with peas and zucchini slices
To top it all off...lots and lots of water!!
Tomorrow I am playing with quinoa! Hopefully it tastes as good as I am expecting it too!!
Great Blog! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love these kind of blogs.
Always great to get tips & ideas from others!
& I loooove quinoa! There is so much to do with it! I will have to try and make a few meals over xmas break! ;P
I have been realizing how imp. water is... even just with feeling hungry - you have a big glass of water & it usually takes that hunger right away!
I am just starting again to try & get healthy myself. I am far from it at the moment! ha
