Monday Food Diary + Abs Pic
Another Monday in the books. Glad I got that one out of the way! It was a good, but busy one! (aren’t they always?)
Workouts
On the workout front, I got my 20 minutes of HIIT on the stairmill in + a bouldering session at Rockreation. I got WORKED at Rockreation. I didn’t take many breaks and was completely sweaty by the end….and I was only there for about 35 minutes! Such a fun sport. I’m so glad I was introduced to it years ago and re-introduced since I’ve been back here in LA.
Food Diary Monday, 6/24/14
On the food front, I journaled what I ate yesterday for you guys. I’ll be honest, my breakfast isn’t anything to be proud of. I forgot to make breakfast and this was my best option with the time I had.
Breakfast:
Americano w/ Nonfat Milk
Nugo Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar
Snack:
Americano w/ Nonfat Milk
Lunch:
Paleo Beef Burger (Ground beef, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, ketchup)
Side of fresh fruit
Snack:
Quest Cookies n Cream Bar
Dinner:
Salmon, Avocado, & Brown Rice Sushi (the perfect ratio of protein, fat, carbs)
Mango Slices
Grapes
I realize that I’m a really weird eater, by the way. I eat a lot of fruit. And could easily eat a bag of grapes in one sitting (and often do). I need to be better about my breakfast and morning snack options (Coffee really doesn’t count! Just a busy morning). It’s helpful to look back at a day and see what I’m missing. I could definitely use some veggies, hello! I’ll double up today at lunch. 😉 (Maybe I’ll even take photos of my food one of these days! Haha…i’ll try…)
Here’s what my abs looked like after dinner last night. I’m going to try to take a few each week to see the changes. I’ll also try to take one in the morning before I’ve eaten or drank anything. The difference is quite large…
I’ll be heading down to ABA this evening for a Boxing class. I love boxing and ABA is definitely is the best sweat in Los Angeles. You don’t leave ANYTHING when you take those classes. It’s awesome.
Trying to get a bunch of work done early in the week so that I can jet out early on Friday and head home to hang with my family. I don’t like the 6 hour drive, but I miss them and want to hang with my cute little nephew, sister, brother, dad, and some friends.
Seriously?! Look at him!!!
Questions for the Day:
1. What meal is the hardest for you to stay on track with?
(Mine is breakfast just because I’m always rushing out the door. )
2. Have you ever journaled your food? Did it help you?
Your nephew looks like a cool dude!
I would say Dinner is my hardest meal to stay on track. I pretty much have breakfast and lunch planned ahead of time, but dinner seems to throw me for a loop. I will have most of it figured out with chicken and a baked potato with cheese, but then I am still hungry and instead of taking the time to warm up some vegetables I’ll eat gold fish, cereal, or something else that is quicker. I have focused on it more in the last couple of weeks but it is still a struggle.
I have never journaled my food but I have thought about it. People who did that I have run into all seem to say it has helped to a degree.
