89 Days (Jennie)

How on earth did my day countdown already get into the 80s? It seems like just the other day it was still safely in the 3 digit mark! Time flies when you're having fun, and if 5am burpees aren't fun, then I don't know what is!

I took the day off today and took my kiddos out to see a local museum. We had a blast, sadly, not quite as much walking as I was hoping for, so I made sure to get a workout in tonight.

Breakfast
Homemade banana bread muffin (yes, same muffins I made 5 years ago, horribly stale, not sure why I ate it!), 3 slices turkey bacon, a peach and coffee

AM Snack
No snack- like most museums, the cafeteria food was overpriced and my inner miser took over (especially after paying for admission, 2 bridge tolls, parking, gas...)

Lunch
Late lunch when we got home around 2, so I was HUNGRY. I pat myself on the back for not giving in to stopping on the hour drive home for fast food, but my hunger got the best of me so I looked for a quick fix. Made soup and grabbed a few saltines to snack on while waiting for it to cook. I'm embarrassed to admit I even ate some tortilla chips out of the cupboard (I was that hungry). I really need to get rid of those...

Dinner
Dinner was good, primal-friendly chicken! Free-range organic chicken breast, pound thin, then dredge in a mix of coconut flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper and cooked in coconut oil. I served with roasted veggies (asparagus, carrots and Brussels sprouts) along with some quinoa.

I may still sneak a little fruit before bed, I just finished my workout and am craving a little something. Sadly, between the banana bread and lunch, I don't have a whole lot of calories to spare today.

96 Days (Jennie)

Oh Monday, you always come too soon. Today went fairly well. I had a dentist appointment this morning and was up earlier than normal to get the workout in and get to the appointment by 8. I was a bit worried that my energy level would be pretty bad after a very busy weekend and not a lot of sleep, but I did okay thankfully.

Today's rundown:

Breakfast
Spinach protein smoothie (spinach, vanilla protein powder, blueberries, unsweetened almond milk)

AM Snack
Banana and string cheese

Lunch
Lots o' salad (romaine, mushrooms, red peppers, turkey, cheddar, tomatoes, corn, avocado, jalapenos and a little ranch)

PM Snack
Granola bar

Dinner
Grilled chicken breast, roasted asparagus, corn on the cob, sweet potatoes and grilled peaches. Our little peach tree has been working overtime and the birds were kind enough to leave a few for us, so they hit the grill.

It's grilled fruit!

Dessert
Fresh berries with a little whipped cream. The beauty of making whipped cream is to be able to control the sugar or add a more glycemic-friendly sweetener.

This morning's workout was P90X Kenpo. Total calories in is 1685 and burned should be about 2200 by end of the day. Tomorrow I'm aiming to get a lunchtime walk in to get this calorie burn up!
