Day eleven...energy, dont leave home without it!

Went to bed by 12:30am and got up by 6:30...scratch that, up by 9:30. Today is my day off and I feel amazing. Time to take on this day, first up...gym!


Breakfast: 4oz grilled chicken breast, handful of blackberries, 6 strawberries, and asparagus.

Post workout snack: 6 oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup cabbage slaw, 1 tomato.

Lunch: 4 oz grilled turkey burger, 4 baby carrots, grilled asparagus, zucchini, squash, and sweet potatoes lightly brushed with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Forgot how much I love to grill, adds so much more flavor to my meals and looks better too. 

Snack: handful of macadamia nuts, handful of blueberries, 4 slices grilled sweet potatoes.

Dinner: 6 oz grilled wild salmon (marinated in diced ginger, olive oil, and tamari gluten free soy sauce), 1 cup spring mixed greens, grilled green peppers and onions tossed in olive oil and fresh lemon. I noticed that I snacked less today. Probably because I didn't work out with Dee this morning but also because I changed up the protein in my meals. I've also found a new addiction, sweet potatoes. Yum! I've been craving them for a couple of days now. Definitely hit the spot.

Snack: 3 oz of grilled chicken, 1 orange.

I love the choices I am making for myself these days. Other than feeling better, I love what I see when I look in the mirror again. Not just because my body is slowly changing, but because I'm becoming the person I knew I was always meant to be. I think this kind of energy attracts good energy. A girlfriend of mine, just got engaged in Hawaii last night. She is one of the most amazing woman I know. I've always admired her spunk and spontaneity to pack up and move wherever her heart takes her (something I have always wanted to do). She focused on herself and when she wasn't looking..her match entered her life almost a year ago. It's inspiring and just confirms to keep doing what I am doing. I'm not looking nor have I been in the five months I've been single now. I'm enjoying myself and working on achieving my goals. So universe- keep me in mind for the future, but please don't send mister right my way any time soon..because I'm not ready yet! My mind and body still have work to do:)
