Day 64... it's a new day

I woke up this morning thinking, "It's a new day!" This past weekend we had a cookout with lots of unhealthy items to choose from. Items such as chips, desserts, pop, alcoholic beverages, etc.

I tend to do SO well during the week... it's the weekends that get me off track! So after my bad item choices this weekend, I told myself I am going to get up on Monday and start fresh. I had to get my mind right and back in the mindset of eating healthy again because I tend to spiral out of control if I don't get my mind right. I will make one bad choice after the next.

I didn't workout yesterday because I was exhausted and I didn't get a very good night's sleep. So today I doubled my workout and did Fire 30 (30 minutes) and HIIT 25 (25 minutes). It was good for me to do both, however, I really am not too keen on HIIT 25. It was A LOT of jumping so I modified it and didn't burn as many calories as I could of had I pushed myself, but the key is I PUSHED PLAY! It really felt great and I'm glad that I did it.

I just finished lunch and I'm about to start my grad school work, but I wanted to post this deliciousness I made for lunch. I really love everyone's motivation for working out, but I always wonder what they're eating. Here is what I had for lunch today:


Meet my barbecue grilled chicken salad!

Ingredients:
  • Meijer chicken tenderloins (I grilled these a couple of days ago so they were left over and I didn't want to them to go to waste - I no longer buy the Tyson chicken because they are not as tender as the Meijer tenderloins! And I just don't eat Tyson anymore!)
  • cherry tomatoes cut in halves
  • Sweet Baby Ray's Original Barbecue Sauce (1-2 tbsp)
  • Iceberg lettuce (from a head of lettuce just tore into small pieces - this has been much better - I used to buy the bagged lettuce, but it turns bad so fast)
On the side:
  • mushrooms - heated up in the microwave for 30 seconds
  • big ol' glass of water :) - the best thing you can drink - I put lemon juice in mine (always have!)
So good I might have to make another one for dinner! DELICIOUS!!!! 

Alright... that is all! Have a great day and do something healthy for yourself today!
