Enders_Shadow's Group - eating clean & getting lean - FULL (Page 6)

I will try to catch up when I can.  Visiting my parents and very elderly grandma in Texas this week.  

No specific goals this week - targeting an 8 or better every day - but will be travelling for work so really just shooting to exercise a little discipline on the road.  i need to focus on drinking more water.  it was never a thing i had a problem with, but for some reason i've fallen off that wagon.  so MORE WATER THIS WEEK.  

Well I didn't do as well today as I would have liked to. But school starts back tomorrow so I'll have to eat what I take with me. Snacks and lunch are packed and ready to go. I also went ahead and made a protein smoothie to drink after the swim tomorrow morning. Hopefully that and the packed oatmeal (Mr. Bento) will keep me away from he Chick-fila drive through. 

Hope everyone stays warm and has a great week. It's going to be 21 on the Texas Gulf coast tonight. 

Ate ok today, breakfast was 12 grain toast with peanut butter, a bowl of homemade chili and a banana for lunch, supper was a big salad with two hard boiled eggs and an apple.  I did have 3 cups of coffe and 2 of tea and not enough water. 

I have my breakfast and lunch for tomorrow ready to go.  Need to shop for some fruit and veggies after work tomorrow.

time to get real comfortable with each other - anyone having digestive issues switching to so much clean stuff after so much bad stuff (holidays).??

every time i eat my stomach gets a little upset and i'm uncomfortable for 30 minutes.  i'm guessing it's mostly to do with so much fiber being infused into the diet at once.

packed up my lunch bag for today:

ate eggs baked in avocado halves for breakfast
avocado chicken salad and 1/2 pita and unsweetened applesauce for lunch
leftover spaghetti squash with broccoli and peanut sauce for "dinner" (today will be a LONG day at work)
snacks are almonds, clementines, and a banana - and 2 lindor truffles as a treat
leftover carnitas on corn tortillas when i FINALLY get home from the gym tonight.

i go to bed so early not much time between dinner and bed for snacking, hahaa!  if i do snack, just make it healthy.  i will literally suck on a tablespoon of natural PB while watching TV.  the fat is good for nighttime too, helping you sleep.

usually my husband is not so on board with me eating clean.  he doesn't eat unhealthy - but he doesn't eat well.  i do most of the shopping and cooking and usually just try to buy him snacks he likes but i don't so i'm not tempted.  right now though, he's all on board with eating my healthy cooking.  and not making requests for snacks, so that's pretty nice!  

let's not drop to page 2 guys!!!

Originally posted by enders_shadow I'm loving the recipes, guys - thanks! Once I do my menu planning for the week, I'll share. Question - what are your eating goals for this coming week? Is there one nutritional thing you're focusing on or an overall plan?

Goal is CLEAN eating and getting lean!  I've done real well logging in the cron-o-meter.  As long as I keep logging, I can do this.  I've had no alcohol since January 1!  Also, trying to get into a consistent training routine again.  My training plan starts Monday, so then I'll really have to be accountable. 

Kristen - Yes, I'm registered for Raleigh 70.3!

As for Cathy's comment about evening snacking, It helps if I go to HealthPlex after work for spin or bodypump class (keeps me busy and my mind off food), then later sip on hot tea (usually homemade ginger root tea) or make a huge pot of hot chicken broth and sip on that.  Sipping a hot liquid takes longer, so I'm not hunting for something else while I'm sipping on hot tea or broth.
