My Favorite Foods

Hi! I thought that to help hold me accountable I would write everything I eat during the day. I titled this post "My Favorite Foods" because I usually eat the same kinds of food everyday. Why do I eat the same kinds of food every day? Because I usually eat healthy food that tastes delicious. When I started eating healthier, I started craving healthy food.

Here is what I ate yesterday.

For breakfast:

  • Scrambled Eggs with Hash browns
    • 3 eggs
    • a dash of coconut milk
    • some Mrs. Dash
    • some sliced turkey
    • a little bit of cheese
    • hash-browns mixed with Mrs. Dash and turkey
For lunch:

  • Fruity Power Smoothie
    • 1.5 cups of home-brewed green tea
    • 2.5 cups of mixed fruit

For my late lunch:

  • Italian shredded chicken
    • pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, and chicken breasts in slow cooker
    • brown rice
  • Cheesy Vegetables
For  supper:

  • Beef Stew
    • stew meat, celery, carrots, onion, potatoes, and low sodium turkey gravy mix in slow cooker
Snacks:

  • Banana
  • Apple sprinkled with PB2
  • Lara-bar

Other days I switch up my scrambled eggs for an omelet and sometimes switch out the turkey for chicken. I also love spinach wraps for lunch! I put spinach, turkey or chicken, cheese, and a tiny bit of mustard on a spinach tortilla and it's delicious! I also switch up my smoothie everyday. I use different kinds of fruits or sometimes I put in flax seeds or spinach.

So even though I eat the same meals every day I still am able to change it up a little bit so that I don't get bored.

My First Day at GNC

Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

I Love My Coffee

I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it. I used to drink Starbucks all the time but now I make my coffee at home. When it started to get hot here I stopped drinking my coffee in the morning because hot coffee and hot weather was just too much for me. Then I realized I should just make iced coffee! I have a couple recipes I have been using lately and would love to write them. Some of them are healthy and some of them, not so much. Vanilla Creme: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Vanilla Creme SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Chocolate Raspberry: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Chocolate Raspberry SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Iced Mocha Coffee: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) A couple squirts of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup You can basically make it anyway you want to. I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...

ACE Fitness

In one of my earlier posts I said that I am going to school to become a Certified Personal Trainer. I am taking online classes through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).  I am loving it so far! I bought the premium package and it included all the study materials plus a CEC math class, an online syllabus, and even videos/lectures that I can view online. It also came with a re-take exam voucher just in case I don't pass the first time. I am on lesson 10 now. I am going over Chapter 7 in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual and have already completed the Exercise Science portion. I am doing about one lesson a week. I take my quiz for the lesson on Friday and then on the weekends I review all of the Exercise Science book and Personal Trainer Manual. You can do it at your own pace but if I don't structure the lessons for myself I will probably fall behind. The schedule I have set up works pretty well for me but it took me longer than a week to go through a lesson when I was doing E...
