Day seven...no excuses.

We tend to eat with out eyes first, so my goal has been perfecting my presentation of eating better. My love of cooking and art together in one. I've noticed that the meals I bring into work lately, have been getting people's attention and they wish they had more time to make healthier snacks. You make time. In that ten-fifteen minutes it took for the kitchen to make your chicken sandwich or kobe burger..you could have taken that time at home to make a healthier meal- plus snacks. Another excuse I hear is that eating healthy is expensive, but eating out all the time is even more. Believe me, I used to do it at least 4-5 times a week. Add cocktails to that meal, and the bill more than doubles...in my case triples. Just telling you through experience.  I love how far I've come in the last couple of months. Eat clean, train hard, work hard, and live well.  

Breakfast: 1 cup egg whites scrambled with olive oil and pepper, 3 oz grilled chicken breast, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup blackberries, 1/2 avocado, 2 tablespoons pico de gallo.

Snack: handful of macadamia nuts, 2 oz chicken, 1/2 avocado. No, your eyes do not deceive you..no post workout meal. Decided to sleep in and let my body rest before I have to be at work at 12:00pm. Packing lunch and snacks..I'll continue this blog after the happy hour and dinner time rush. Enjoy your sunday funday.  


Snack: 1 apple, 3oz grilled chicken breast, double shot of espresso.

Snack: Smoothie- fresh oranges, strawberries, raspberries, and spinach (made by Jocelynn). Handful of macadamia nuts.

Lunch: 4 oz grilled mahi mahi, red leaf lettuce tossed in lemon juice and olive oil, handful blackberries, 8 grape tomatoes, handful of blueberries. 

Snack: 3 oz chicken breast, 6 oven roasted sweet potato wedges. The sweet potatoes helped to keep me full for a longer period of time. A little olive oil, sea salt, and pepper..perfection.

Dinner: 6 oz grilled chicken breast, cabbage slaw with red onion and cilantro, over roasted sliced beets, handful of orange bell pepper, tomatoes, and blueberries.

With week one behind me, I'm excited for week two to began. My energy level has been better than ever! This week has a little more items that I can work with, so I'm looking forward to trying out some new recipes and putting a little more skill into them.
