Cleanse

Fruit & veg cleanse.

I will be doing a one day mini cleanse that includes fruit, veg and egg whites only. Most of the time when you are doing a cleanse there is no protein consumed and it lasts for a longer duration. I usually just do one to two days in order to hold on to muscle...

Today I started the day with egg whites, tomato and and apple followed by a run. The rest of the day will be any fruit, veg and green shakes.

If you want to do a mini cleanse to up your energy, I would recommend loading up on fruits and veg, 1 avocado per day and egg whites or plant protein powder. Also, make sure you are loading up on lemon water.

Enjoy!

Back to it!

Just finished a 7 mi run. Today's food:

Breakfast- 5 egg whites, I whole egg, green tea and apple.

Lunch- (I am up training at 5a, so lunch is at 10a) non fat yogurt, 1/2 banana and whole made granola.

Thurs and Fri I am doing a Mini cleanse. Stay tuned and I'll show you how.

Eating out

I went to Crustaceans for dinn with a friend last night. The crab was really heavy and buttery, so I went for the below items instead. 

I had half of the papaya salad and Shanken Beef.

It was sooo good and pretty lite. 

I also paired it with white whine. 

White whine is a good low cal go to al bev.

Shaken Beef flambéed in Chardonnay, sautéed green beans, cherry tomatoes and red onions

Papaya Salad with Calamari lightly marinated calamari, tossed in our spicy Vietnamese vinaigrette with green papaya, "rau ram," and fresh Asian basil

Get your sleep if you want a great waist line!

I am super sleepy today due to a full day of back to back sessions. I decided to take today as my rest day and hit it hard tomorrow. You should only allow yourself one to two days off exercise per week.

When you are sleep deprived it can cause your waist line to increase. If you are always on the go and stagnant with your weight loss check out this article:

Breakfast at Boulange

I had a wonderful breakfast at La Boulange on Polk ST.
Union ST does not do egg whites with their scrambles.... Polk does it right.

This is the La Boulange scramble w egg whites, salmon, spinach & tomato. 1 pc whole grain bread and fruit on the side.

Approx 400 calories - Breakfast and lunch is where you should be spending the bulk of your calories.

Workout/Meals

Today I did Legs and Butt for 1 hr. This is my favorite muscle group to train!

Warm up
20 Min tread

5 sets everything
20 reps reverse smith lunge w/ 55lbs ea leg
20 each leg cross step up
20 dead lift w 65lb kettle b.

I like to pick 3 of my favorite exercises and repeat as many times as I can, that way I have a serious conversation with my legs and butt:)

Post workout: protein shake @ noon

3p (late lunch)
6 egg whites
1/4 avocado
1/2 tomato
kale seasoning
Sounds awful, but is soooooo good.

Green shake simple (sometimes it's hard to get my veggies in bc I am always on the go)
spinach, lemon, ginger & alive multi (alive makes it yummy and you get good nutrition)

Here is a pic of lunch

Breakfast!!

Oatmeal 1 serving
1 scoop plant fusion protein powder
1 tsp coconut oil (great for getting rid of fat around the mid section)

Green tea (yerba mate)
