Feeling better today

February 04, 2014
I feel much better today, I ate really light yesterday and had some papaya and pineapple, and the bloat has since gone. And my weight is back down today as well.
I did get to the gym around noon yesterday when I was feeling better, I did an hour there. Today I did an hour on the elliptical machine and am planning on getting to the gym each day this week, The weekend is going to be busy with my Dad's 90th birthday party. I am determined to eat very healthy, so I will take things that I can eat. I plan on doing a weigh in Monday so am hoping for some great results.
Eating while away,,
It’s always BEST to cook and eat your own food because you know exactly what is in the food you’re eating.
That being said, if you’re going to eat at a restaurant while traveling, here are some tips and tricks.
-Order a lean meat (preferably grilled) or egg whites/eggs and vegetables (preferably steamed).
-Order everything with no butter, no oil, no sauce, no marinade. I often order with no seasonings and no non-stick spray either.
Most restaurants, whether it’s on their menu or not, will:
-Make you an egg white omelette with whatever vegetables you’d like inside. Remember – request no butter & no oil. On the side I order vegetables as well, no hash browns, no toast, no pancakes.
-Make you chicken, fish, or steak grilled with no butter and no oil.
-Make you steamed vegetables – make sure to request no butter or oil on these as well because restaurants notoriously soak their pre made vegetables in butter to prevent them from “getting old and gross looking.”
If your food tastes plain (if you don’t want to do plain – ask for salt & pepper or seasonings – just be careful because a lot of seasoning blends have sugar in them) and no oil is on the bottom of your plate, they probably made your order as requested. Most restaurants will accommodate you as long as you’re nice and appreciative. Smile!

“Fail to plan, plan to fail.”

I know this quote is over used but it’s completely true. You don’t just leave being lean to chance. Being prepared and sticking to your plan and what you prepped will get you really far. Preparation, along with consistency, determination, and dedication, is key to getting lean and staying lean.
Everyone else will eat what they want but, I will stay completely on track while we are out of town. It feels so good to stick to your plan and be proud of yourself. Give yourself the respect you deserve and treat your body right!  So let’s keep on putting healthy, fat-loss friendly food in our bodies, we’re more than worth it!!
