49 days of SALAD!

Well I am sure that the title of this post says it all. I have officially began my summer get back into shape madness. All my medical tests came back great and so I am on the way to a slimmer me. I knew I was going to write this down and keep track of my progress, but what better way than on my blog? This way you can all scream at me if I want to cheat. So I have called my diet "Wrap it or Rack it" (i should copy write this). Basically no heavy crazy carbs, lots of fruits and veggies, and tons of water. I am on day 5 and feeling awesome, even had a 11pm run with my friend brittany last night (she is the one, that came to boot camp with me last year, and we are going again. YEAH) Here is a look at my food intake:

Monday:
B: Smoothie- one vanilla (low fat) yogurt), blueberries- fresh or frozen- as long as nothing is added to them, and a scoop of slim fast. I used my magic bullet, mixed it up and it was GREAT.

L: an apple and a few almonds- I wasnt really hungry

S: SALAD- ice berg lettuce, crasions, cut up apples, cut up pears, and calorie wise POPPY SEED dressing. - you can add croutons and mozzarella cheese to this salad, but I with held.

Water intake- 2300ML

Tuesday:
B: Same as above smoothie- but added fresh strawberries.

L: Celery and peanut butter- again not that hungry

S: SALAD- (i had to work evening and i had all the fixings already for the above salad, so I grabbed it and went.)

Water intake- 2600ML

Wednesday:
B: One strawberry yogurt

L: Grapes, and cucumbers

S: 4oz chicken breast with a green bean mixed salad ( is it a salad with out lettuce)- i used green beans, onions, mushrooms- and used a drop of olive oil and MRS. DASH for seasoning and heated it up in a frying pan.

Water intake- 1100ML- I was slacking

Thursday:

B: I woke up at 11ish so I combined breakfast and lunch.

L:SALAD- ice berg lettuce, spinach, apples, strawberries, black berries, with strawberry vinaigrette dressing ( SO FREAKING GOOD)

S: VEGGIE WRAP- I used onions, zuchinni, mushrooms, yellow and green pepper and sauted them up, got a spinach wrap (just one) filled it with veggies, folded it over and grilled it on my george forman grill. This was amazing.

Water intake- 2000ML

Friday:

B: One vanilla yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, one scoop of slim fast- Love this smoothie

L: One hard boiled egg and a few black berries- random i know, but it was tasty

S: ( I work tonight so I have prepared this already) COBB SALAD- ice berg lettuce, spinach, peppers, carrots, cucumbers, about an ounce of chicken ( seriously- just a little) and a boiled egg- just the whites. Now it is the dressing that can make it or break it so I will probably go with italian, as it is lower in calories than ranch. This is sad cause I love ranch!

Water intake- in progress


So this is what my week has looked like. I also have incorporated physical activities, such as zumba (which I have for the WII), going on runs, walks, walking the mall, sit ups, going to the gym and also I hit the stairs again... I love the stairs, I am sure this is why I have a rock hard butt.

I am seriously feel great, and i have not even needed something sweet, but I researched it and if you are craving something sweet you could have a soda that is made with splenda, and also found a recipe to make your own frozen yogurt- basically just using vanilla yogurt and fruit- blending it together and freezing it. Sounds so good to me.

I will post a picture of my fridge soon and you will notice fruits and veggies cut up and in containers, this has been so helpful to me, cause when i open the fridge it is already ready for you, you can just grab it and feel good about it. Well off to shower, got to go to work soon!
