So this was one of my quick, small meals earlier today .. Ezekiel wrap (found in your grocery store freezer section), low sodium tuna (made with red onion, nonfat plain Greek yogurt), slivered almonds, greens & grape tomatoes !🍅
Did I make this pretty or what ?!
I ate too much so far today & have had ZERO time to workout yet. This has been a busy & stressful day. Some forget to eat on days like this– but I have never been one to *forget to eat* or be too stressed to eat; quite the opposite for this girl! I’ve always been one to eat if I’m stressed, bored, happy, or sad. I eat healthy, I just sometimes graze nonstop. But I never give up on trying to develop better habits
So this is what I do to bring it under control. A superfood smoothie & lots of water!
It filled this jar twice!
RECIPE:
1.5 cups ice
1 cup Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup water
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
1/2 half banana
1/4 cup blueberries
Add honey, agave or stevia if you like it sweeter
BLEND WELL
🍴I’m part of the CIZE test group & I’m following the meal guidelines (pretty similar to how I already eat). Feeling AWESOME so far!
I know the most FAQ will be “dressing?” so here’s the scoop on that (20 burpees if u don’t read☺): I used a light balsamic vinaigrette this time, store-bought;nothin special (instead of just red wine vinegar & oil). I felt this salad needed some help💥 given the lack of Feta that I love!😉 There’s nitrate-free, low sodium turkey breast & I ended up adding more ! 🙌
One of my small meals today (and I washed it down with a piece of dark chocolate 🍫😉).
~350 calories (400 with chocolate) & ~30g protein💥
I know my meals are SUPER boring to most but this way of eating works for me because it’s easy & quick👍! This is just turkey burger (we grill a bunch 2x/week to put in stuff), avocado, tomato, & romaine on a LIGHTLY TOASTED (that’s key👌) Ezekiel English muffin ..all to be dipped in a mix of plain Greek Yogurt & Spicy Dijon mustard🙌
Breakfast for lunch. I eat a version of this almost daily (for 1 of my 4-5 meals). This omelet has 5 servings of egg whites (120 calories & 25g protein) + 1 full egg 🍳+ baby spinach🍃+ sliced sweet peppers😋+ salsa + avocado👌. In total, it’s about 300’ish calories, high protein, low glycemic index (low sugar), & filling! 🙌✨

I fit in a quick 2.5 mile run & jump rope intervals before my son’s Lacrosse game & I have my shakeology to drink on the way. I’ll have to go sweaty but I’m glad I did it. Thanks for the new leggings Chalene Johnson!
Salad in SECONDS!!
When I’m super crunched for time, I either do a second Shakeology for the day OR throw the following in a bowl & no chopping/prepping is necessary:
Spring Mix 🍃
Pre hard boiled eggs🐓
Light Tuna 🐟
Grape tomatoes 🍅

What person, comment or incident got you into working out and/or eating better?? What advice would you give someone just starting out??
***Here are 10 tips that helped me stick to it:
1. After eating a small meal, get out of the kitchen. Your body needs time to digest & realize it’s been fed!
2. Continually work to drink more water
3. Have a ballpark awareness of calories and macro’s MY particular body needs to gain muscle yet still burn fat (this took trial & error)
4. With your eating & workout weaknesses, aim for progress each day, not perfection
5. Ignoring the scale & paying attention to how I look and feel; how i’m performing in my workouts and the new habits i’m forming.
6. Becoming a Coach and making fitness & health my career
7. Transitioning the family to healthier options so I wasn’t alone
8. Curbing snacking/splurges (shakeology)
9. Doing workouts with variety and workouts I enjoy!
..and 10
HAVING PATIENCE & TURNING OFF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
Ok so today, admittedly, I put my salad on an Ezekiel wrap! I just wanted some BREAD with it (& Ezekiel almost doesn’t count as bread). The
DailySaladChallenge wouldn’t be called a *challenge* if it were EASY to have a salad everrryday…. keepinitreal
Btw, this has Spring Mix, avocado, salsa, turkey burger, sweet peppers, and I dipped it in nonfat-plain Greek yogurt (pretending to be Sour Cream )
My salad today as part of the DailySaladChallenge myself & others are doing for May
For the dressing, I just mashed some raspberries, with water, a little evoo, & stevia (I’m not one that knows all these crazy but yummy dressing recipes; if it takes more than a few minutes & ingredients, I’m out). I’m sure you can see what’s in this but in case not, it’s Spring mix, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, pine nuts & reduced fat feta (because I love feta!)
