As most of you know I am working on finding a balance with healthy eating. Some days I succeed and others I fail. Some days I am 100% on and others I’m just not. I will tell you I definitely relax more on the weekends when it comes to my eating. Sometimes too relaxed. Since we are off our routine it makes it more difficult for me and it’s just not worth the battle. I am ok with that it is kind of nice knowing I don’t have to think about every morsel that goes into my mouth 7 days a week. I still eat fairly healthy on the weekends I am just not as strict. I want my eating to be my lifestyle I am just trying to figure out how not to become obsessed with it.
A typical day for me consists of 80% healthier choices and 10% not so much.
After finishing the Chisel Balance workout, I got dressed then ate some pumpkin protein pancakes (1/3 cup oats, 1/4 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp, pure vanilla extract, 2 egg whites, 1 tablespoon ground flax seed, 2 tablespoons pure pumpkin, 1/2 cup cottage cheese – put everything in a blender, I use the nutribullet, and mix it all up. Then cook on medium low; slow and steady is the key.). Easy and delicious.
Chisel Balance is my least favorite workout of Hammer and Chisel, simply because it really challenges my balance, which challenges every part of me. Seriously, this workout kicks my booty every time. So, I love to hate it.
Once we got home from gymnastics and grocery shopping I was starving so I cooked up some ground beef, added taco seasoning and made a salad (this has become a staple in my diet lately and it’s so healthy).
A little later I was ready for something sweet and realized I haven’t had my paleo chocolate cake in awhile, so I quickly made one up and topped it with a little ice cream. One thing I have learned is that by treating myself mid day I don’t crave anything else later on. I don’t do this everyday, but maybe I should.
That chocolate cake and ice cream seriously sustained me for a long time. I didn’t feel the need to eat again until after getting Sophia off the bus. Since it was a cold day and I am fighting a cold, tomato soup sounded perfect. I quickly whipped up my favorite and easy homemade tomato soup and it surely hit the spot.
A little later I made my favorite healthy beef nachos with homemade chips, taco meat, and a little bit of cheese.
I ended the night with a banana and a teaspoon of almond butter.
