Updateee

I know I haven't written a blog in a few weeks but I've just been so busy with school and life in general. I have still been trying to eat pretty healthy for the most part and workout at least twice a week. This week I already worked out at home once on a free morning that I had. Then tomorrow I'm hopefully going to go to the gym and do a Zumba and then some treadmill and elliptical. Hopefully those plans don't get ruined. 
Today I've eaten pretty healthy. In the morning before class I had like 8 oz of water. Then after my first class I decided to have breakfast. Sorry I didn't take pictures but I had a Greek chobani fat free yogurt and then it added a trader joes trek mix which are in individual packets already and are 170 calories each. In the packet there is almonds, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and pecans. I love this mix because it's so filling and yet portion controlled. Nuts are so easy to overeat and are high in calories so the fact that it's portions controlled makes it a lot easier. Plus it's good to just grab and go.
Then I had another class and then I came home for lunch. So I had a breaded chicken breast stuffed with broccoli and mozzerella cheese. I used a skinnytastte recipe to make them a few days ago and they are so good. They are also very filling. So I had one of those with a yellow bell pepper sliced up on the side. I had that with some black coffee because I've been craving coffee all day. So yea that's pretty much what I've eaten so far today. For dinner ill probably have some steamed string beans with some other veggies. Hope you all have a great day 


Down 21 pounds and not stopping :) live life healthy :)

What I ate Wednesday

ThHey guys 

So I've officially lost a total of 19 pounds since I've started in November of 2013. 
Here is what I've eaten so far today in my weight loss journey: 

Breakfast 
So today for breakfast I had plain 2 percent yogurt a small container of it, on top I put about 1/3 cup of trader joes multigrain o's cereal. Then on top I cut up a whole banana and a little slice of pineapple cut into smaller pieces.and on top I sprinkled some cinnamon. This turned out so good because both the banana and pineapple were super sweet goving the whole bowl such a yummy taste. This was super filling too. On the side I just had a cup of plain black coffee. 

For lunch I had this: 
This is some green bell pepper cut up.this is about 2/3 of the pepper. The the mix is sautéed brown rice with ground turkey, celery, carrot and cabbage. I had about a cup of the rice mix.it was super good and filling as well. On the side I just had plain water. 

Then as a snack for work I brought this with me : 
This is 2 celery hearts chopped up .6 baby carrot and the rest of the green bell pepper that I had for lunch. I figured this would be a nice healthy snack to bring with me. With me I also brought tazo zen green tea which has some lemongrass and spearmint in it. One of my favorite teas.

And for dinner ill probably have some mixed bean soup and an apple as a dessert after. 

So that is what I ateWednesday. Hope you guys enjoyed this :)

I also worked out at the gym today. This was my progress: 
I did the elliptical for a little and the treadmill. Was a really good workout and I'm all worn out. 

After that for lunch I had stir fry with egg, kale,spinach,  red onion, beef cutlet chopped up and a few baby tomatoes.i had that all in a bowl with some hot sauce and it was really good

Health post of the day

Today was a good day for me health wise. It was a snow day so class was canceled. I had the morning off to do pretty much whatever I wanted. So I started off the day just relaxing and catching up on the blogger and vloggers that I follow. I love watching them for ideas to inspire me and motivation to eat healthier and live a healthier lifestyle. After a whole of relaxing I decided it was time to have breakfast. So for breakfast I decided to have: 

This is plain Greek chobani yogurt fat free with 1/4 cup multigrain o's from trader joes, then on top is one big strawberry cut up and a medium banana.Then I sprinkled some cinnamon on top for some extra flavor and I love it. I've never been a big fan of cinnamon but I've been reading a lot about the health benefits. I decided to purchase some this weekend and it's definatly the perfect addition to breakfast.  Then I also had coffee with 1/4 cup almond milk. Normally I have my coffee black but today I was just craving almond milk. Probably because I was starving this morning. All together this was under 300 calories which is amazing for the amount of food I had. Super healthy and nutritious. 

I also did some working out today which is amazing because I haven't been working out lately. I first did some of my version of Zumba which is pretty much me blasting music and doing a ton of moves that I remember from all the classes I've taken in different gyms. Then after a while I got bored of it and decided to do the tone it up total body workout on YouTube. That was definatly intense. After not working out for a long time my body wasn't used to moving so many muscles. It was hard but felt good on my body. I really liked it and will probably do it again soon. My result of my workout was: 

 About 15 minutes after working out I had some passion fruit zico coconut water for the first time. I also bought it this weekend and I bought passion fruit because the passion fruit flavor was on sale. I drank about half of it. It wasn't the best drink I ever tried but it was drinkable. I wanted to try it because I heard how good it is and because it has a lot of potassium which is good for the body. I don't think I'll be repurchasing this flavor but I might try some other flavor of the zico water to see if ill like them more. 

Then an hour after that I had lunch which I forgot to take a picture of but I had some baked seasoned salmon. I had about 4 ounces of that. I also had a yellow bell pepper chopped up and some leftover sautéed cabbage with tomato, mushrooms, carrots and a third of an Italian sausage. I had about a cup of the sautéed mix. The mix was from dinner last night but it was so good that I just wanted some of the leftovers for lunch. With the lunch I also had some plain hot green tea. Green tea is super healthy and full of antioxidants. I try to have green yea at least once a day.  Throughout the day I've also drank one 16 oz bottle of water. 

So that's been pretty much my health of the day. For dinner ill probably have something not too heavy since I don't feel that hungry. 

Thanks for reading my blog. I'll keep you guys updated with more of my meals and progress. 

Lost 1 pound this week:)
