Keep on keeping on

When Im trying to get back in shape I always tell myself that what I eat is going to have the biggest impact so that I don't feel bad about not exercising but the truth is if I don't exercise I don't eat right.  Knowing I forced myself to sweat makes me really think about what I'm eating.  A recap of today and yesterdays choices:

New running shoes Nike Free 7.0 v2, so comfy.  Did alot of sprinting drills today and went for a little run on the backroads with the dog while Dan rode the mini bike along side us.

Water and seaweed for snacks.  I love seaweed more than I can ever put into words.

Persian/Russian salad called Salad Olivieh, it's like if egg salad and chicken salad had a baby with potato salad but much less mayo.  Usually eaten with bread but in college in order to cut calories i started replacing bread and rice with romaine leaves and cucumber.  One of my all time favorite meals is spicy salsa tune on cucumber slices.

 Dan's getting in shape too so I'm responsible for his nutrition.  We had 1 think slice of tri-tip left over from dinner so I cut it up and cooked it with some kale and fried eggs and tossed them in taco shells with avocado for a protein filled breakfast.

A gift from the lord, pre-made iced coffee WITH ALMOND MILK!!!

Had this baby out front with us while I did sprints and Dan played basketball, hydrated all dayyyy

Snack 1 of strawberries and kiwi, Snack 2 which is not pictured was celery sticks with guac on them.

For Dan's lunch I sauteed onions and peppers with a smoked chicken sausage over a bed of spinach and kale

We went out for dessert and as tempting as the monster ice cream sundae was, I only had a few bites.



In addition to eating better and working out I'm back on my vitamins and supplements so hopefully by next week everything will be back in full effect

  1. In love with this post. My sister and I want to start eating healthier, but it's proving to be harder than we thought thanks to us still living with our parents and all (such stubborn folks). So we're doing what we can now, and hopefully we'll improve even more once we're living on our own. This is definitely inspiration for us. :)
