Resolutions in Motion II {All About Food}

Well, my weight loss adventure continues! Last week I shared with you my secret weight loss weapon. This week, I'd like to share some of my favorite meal and snack ideas. One of the worst things about "dieting" is getting stuck in a rut - eating the same thing day in and day out. There have been times {even as recently as last week} where I find myself eating the same things because I know they are "safe".  It has gotten to a point where I will choose not to eat, just because I am worried about eating the wrong thing. Obviously, if I am going to reach any kind of balance in my life and learn to have a healthy relationship with food, I need to realize that there are no right and wrong choices - but remembering not to let my day spiral out of control and head down a path of high sugars and carbs. Here are some of my go-to foods that focus on high protein and low sugar/carbs.

Breakfast:

• Protein shake made with Herbalife protein powder, ice,Tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 banana, Tbsp sugar free chocolate pudding mix
• Ezekiel sprouted wheat toast with peanut butter and banana
• Two eggs with sprouted what toast and strawberry preserves
• Whole wheat tortilla with peanut butter, banana and granola

Lunch:

• Mixed greens with apple, walnuts, feta cheese and balsamic vinaigrette
• Whole wheat tortilla with cream cheese, turkey bacon, sliced turkey and mixed greens

Yummy!

Dinner:

• Some lean protein {chicken, pork chops, fish} with a vegetable and potato or bread
• Lately I have been trying new recipes from Pinterest.

Snacks:

• Cottage cheese with blueberries
• Sandwich thin dipped in peanut butter
• String cheese
• Belvita cookies
• Hard boiled eggs
• Grapes
• Trail mix
• Greek yogurt with granola
• Carrots
• I usually have a morning snack and an afternoon snack each day with one or two of the above.

Water:

• At least 8 glasses of water a day....and I use this bad boy:

Refillable water jug that holds 74 oz.

When I have it with me, I drink it - simple as that.

I use My Fitness Pal to track my meals throughout the day and the calories link automatically to my Body Media account which is AWESOME!

I'm always on the lookout for new recipes and healthy snack ideas and I know I need to incorporate more vegetables in my day {not a fan of the veggies}.

My goal for this round of Resolutions in Motion is to lose 1 pound per week for the 6 week duration.

And my progress this week

Woo-hoo!!
