Live Fit: Day 1

Did the first day of chest and triceps.. holy shit. my arms are jello!

Breakfast:

• Four egg white omelet with bell pepper (i really can’t stomach more than that first thing in the morning). 
• On a slice of Ezekiel Bread (starch+Protein+veg)

Mid-morning (too early for meat, so i chose a small meal option)

• 6oz plain greek yogurt (Fage) + 1 Cup raspberries 

Lunch:

• 4oz Tilapia + Spinach salad (1 Cup)
• 1/4 cup quinoa 

Mid-afternoon

• 2 Turkey muffins (sounds gross, but it’s more like big meatballs)
• 1 Cup Spinach salad 

Dinner:

• More tilapia (for now, looking into other lean meats)
• 1/2 Cup black beans (starch) 
• bell pepper strips 

Evening (how long did it take people to start being able to eat this last meal? i’m so FULL) 

mission complete: got a total of 10 minutes of planking!

woooooo! (+ my arms hurt x2 because of my prom dress workout.) 

I can’t lie. Grocery shopping is one of my favorite activities.

today’s list:

• salmon fillets

• asparagus 
• bell peppers (orange and red)
