Wonderful Wednesday


I have no recipe today because of lack of planning. I was in my main office but stuck to the best options available. Below is what I did today.

Workout:

5a workout with my #triplethreat girls. Private circuit-training session conducted by Anthony.
6a workout with #acceleratefamily. Session prepared by Anthony.

Meals:

✔7:10A organic protein shake with almond milk and 1 cup of berries.
+ I had something quick and manageable because the coach said I had to eat something immediately.
✔10:30A 3 egg whites, 1 slice of toast and 1 cup of strawberries - (1 additional cup reserved for snacking during meeting).
+ I said no to the tray of cookies and brownies offered during the meeting.
✔1:00P 2 cups of arugula salad with minimal dressing, 1 slice of bread, 1 1/2 cup of whole wheat pasta with 2oz grilled chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, basil and spinach.
+ I said no the the birthday cake being offered repeatedly during the meeting.
✔7:00P 1 cup of green salad w/ 1tbs Italian dressing. 2 tortillas. 3oz of shrimp with 1/2 cup of beans. 2cups of Steamed broccoli, nopales and carrots. 1/2 cup of plantains.
+ I did not add sugar or salt to the plantains and enjoyed the natural sugars.
+ I did not have any tortilla chips which were calling my name!

This is typically more carbs than I have in a day but it provides you with an idea of what I follow on a day when I am not on my element i. e. in a group meeting. I do not over indulge when I  focus on my ability to resist those foods that are not good for me. I created the most balance possible with the choices I was provided.

Here's to staying on target.
