I am very proud as I have had a very healthy week! I worked out every morning by running 2 miles on the bay! Tuesday morning I also did some training and I am SORE!!!
Making pizza is also a healthy choice when you make it at home!!! You can make it healthy with whole wheat dough, homemade sauce, and part skim moz! with LOTS of veggies!

Getting ready for 4th of July
Slimming down before I am in a bathing suit this weekend!
Yoga, yoga, yoga! Last night I knocked one yoga off my list. The key for me is making plans to go with a friend (a friend who is determined and commited)... That way you feel more obligation to your friend!
The rest of my week work out schedule:
Tonight -Yoga
Wednesday night - Spin
Thursday night- Yoga
Friday - Spin
I prepared my refridgerator for the week by filling it with healthy, organic produce, cut up and ready to be eaten!
And of course planned out my meals:
Tuesday
Breakfast:
Irish oatmeal mixed with
-1 tbsp ground flaxseed
-1 tbsp wheat germ
-ground walnuts
-fresh blueberries
a tall glass of water
1 shot espresso
Snack: Orange
Lunch:
Turkey lunch meat (3 slices)
sliced tomato
1 cup split pea soup
Dinner: Healthy taco salad in place of my usual Taco Tuesday cravings! Lettuce
pinto beans (handful)
taco meat (handful)
diced tomato
1/4 avocado
salsa
jalapenos
Corn on the cobb
Wednesday
Breakfast:
Non-fat organic yogurt with
-strawberries
-ground flaxseed
-ground wheat germ
a glass of water and espresso.
Snack: APple.
Lunch: Out to lunch with coworkers (Note: My coworkers go out to lunch EVERYDAY. It's not in my budget, money or calorie wise, ever... So whenever they choose a healthy place I go which is about once every two weeks. Even if it is a little pricey, once every 2 weeks for a healthy, social lunch it is worth it.) This afternoon we are going to one of my favorites, Tender Greens! They have the freshest ingredients for a delicious salad. I usually order a salad full of veggies and a lean protein, no bread (or I just eat half), and a lot of water to drink. Dressing on the side, or vinegerettes don't ever guilt me.
Dinner:
Salmon
cucumber salad.
Thursday
Breakfast: See Tuesday.
Snack: Grapefruit
Lunch:
Lunch meat
sliced tomato
1 cup of soup
Dinner:
White fish (whatever is fresh at Henry's or fish market)
tomato
cucumber quinoa salad
A few suggestions if you suffer from slow digestion like me: Don't pair a protein and fruit in the same sitting. Don't eat more than one protein in one sitting. High fiber diet, flaxseed helps with that. And yogurt (organic, greek is my choice, or ACTIVIA). Drink room temperature water...
I don't love water, but I know how important it is to drink. But I have to remind myself constantly to drink it. I drink one full glass right when I wake up. I keep a whole case of water bottles under my desk at work. My goal is to finish one bottle before I get off (doesn't sound like a lot, but again, small goals are better). Then I drink one bottle of a naturally flavored water with dinner to help the tasted.
Okay... so here's to the 4th of July weekend at the beach!

Day 2
So last night before dinner I went to a workshop for my work! Well they had free food and I love free food. I wish I didn't eat because it sort of spoiled my dinner that I had planned! Next time, take a drink and pick one item to snack on as an appetizer. Otherwise, just practice self control and wait until I am home for dinner. Anyways, I decided not to beat myself up over it, and instead, I did not indulge in my usual glass of wine with dinner, only water. I was satisfied.
Today is a new day!
Breakfast
Lowfat, plain greek yogurt
Fresh strawberries, blueberries, blackberries
Wheat Germ
High fiber cereal on top (substitue for granola, still delicious and crunchy)
Snack
Coffee
1 creamer packet
Cinnamon on top
Lunch
1 plate full:
Side salad with lots of veggies and vinegerette dressing
Spaghetti
Chicken Cutlet
Diet Snapple Peach Iced Tea
Snack
High Fiber Cereal
Hemp Milk
1/2 banana sliced into cereal
Dinner
Turkey Sandwich with...
tomato
lettuce
mustard
low fat mayo
pickle
Pop Chips
Cherries
PreBiotic Drink
Snacked before bed as I cooked eggplant parm for lunch tomorrow... the cook's allowed a little taste, right?
Exercise
Walked 2.5 miles around the bay with one of my girlfriends, didn't even feel like exercise =)

scoop of low fat peanut butter
