Enders_Shadow's Group - eating clean & getting lean - FULL (Page 11)

The last week was horrible. I'm going to commit to checking in daily and posting progress on how things are going. Workouts are great. Food intake has been way out of proportion to what it should be. I've been craving and eating avocados daily. Which is pretty normal when the workout intensity increases. 

Today-  Weight is up 3 pounds from normal 

Only 1 workout this morning 3300 yard swim, Bike Fit was rescheduled for tomorrow night. Today was a bit of a recovery day. 

Breakfast- Chik-fila Spicy Chicken BIscuit- 440 calories with strawberry jelly

Snack- Guacamole ( 1 avocado, picante sauce) with about 15 tortilla chips

Nap

Lunch- Chicken Salad Sandwich, Amy's Pita chips, salsa

Snacks- chips and more picante sauce, Peanut M&M's. Cheese Sticks from Sonic, more chips and salsa

Dinner- chicken and rice, 1 bite of hubby's ice cream

Lets see- No fruit, veggies or basically anything of real nutritional value or Clean.

You don't even want to know what I had to eat and drink over the weekend. 

Plan for tomorrow- 1 hour bike before work, 25 min easy run, bike fit after work

Breakfast- oatmeal with fruit, 1 tsp of peanut butter

Snacks for workday- fruit smoothie, yogurt, fruit, hummus and carrots

Lunch- Chipolte Chicken meal pre-packed from Central Market, salad with low fat dressing

Dinner- I'll be in Houston for the bike fit. Will plan on going to Subway for a sandwich instead of driving through and getting a hamburger

Plan on drinking lots of water. Need to go to the store to buy more almonds and string cheese. 

Sorry to hear that so many people are dealing with stress at work. Hopefully this week will be a better week. 

this weekend was bad.  just crazy bad.

but i'm planned and prepped to have some really good days this week.  I have a girls wine/movie night planned for Thursday, but other than that i think i am good to GO!

bag full of good food to eat at work, including homemade turkey chili that the husband whipped up yesterday.  going to run as long as this INSANE BLIZZARD doesn't shut down my gym.  it's not too cold to do 4 miles outside, but it's crazy windy.  cooking up a spinach and tomato pasta dish tonight.  (courtesy of pinterest, of course!)

I LOVE pinterest but there is so much yummy bad food on there ! 

I had a piece of toast with pb this morning, a beef hotdog for lunch (not so clean), and making pasta for supper.   Didn't get my bike in yesterday so will try to do that tonight

i am checking in and committing to 100% just for today.

i am supposed to run according to my schedule, but living in southeast VA means the roads are a very very scary mess over 1" of ice.  i will likely just do an insanity or bike trainer workout at home to get myself home safely after work and avoid the icy roads.

food-wise - i am good to go at work today and making a chicken dish tonight (from pinterest - link: http://sharedappetite.com/slow-cooker-honey-soy-chicken/) with some brown rice cooked in homemade chicken stock.

i skipped a free panera lunch to eat my healthy packed lunch (doesn't hurt that i realllly need that hour to get work done but still....WILLPOWER)

Hope everyone is hanging in there today!

Panera is a restaurant chain here in the states.  They have "fresh" sandwiches and salads, and CAN be really healthy if you order carefully, but like any place can pile on the dressings and sauces and calories pretty fast.  I do go there often when I need to eat on the run because they publish their menus and health info, so you can plan ahead well.

today will NOT be 100%

BUT i will eat healthy up until girls' night begins

and i will do yesterday's missed interval workout in addition to tonight's 3 miler

so I'm ok with that.

I, too, have been battling a tummy issue and today I called off work.  No sense in getting the little ones sick just because I need the hours.  I have been readling along and am working on the clean eating.  My goal is to cut out most of the snacks I eat and replace them with healthy ones.  I like eating the healthy ones but find that I cave into the junk ones when stress hits.  

I have an outpatient surgery scheduled for next Thursday (my 2nd one for this issue) and I'm tired of dealing with it.  My final divorce hearing is scheduled for March 11 and I don't want it.  I am signing up for my first full marathon so hopefully that will get my rear in gear.  It has been incredibly cold here and I have absolutely no desire to go run in these temps.  I have access to a gym for free but with only one vehicle I feel like I shouldn't tie it up for any longer than necessary.
