The Weekly Conclusions
- some days I didn't eat much .. this is not not common for me .. I was off Friday through Sunday so with appointments, errands and just running around in general, I didn't find as much time as eat as I should have
- I need to start packing more snacks in my car because I always get super hungry on the drive home from work
- Sunday was not filled with much food due to a killer hangover
- I finished off all of the treats I baked last week
- ugh, ate a smoothie this morning which I am not proud about. 1. the frozen mango definitely is not in my eating plan at the moment and 2. greek yogurt (dairy) is generally not in the mix either... but I had zero food to prep a breakfast (poor planning). I left everything in Pouch Cove and when I combined the ingredients for my morning pancake, I realized I didn't have any egg whites. Protein-filled breakfast = big fat fail (I only had a 1/3 of a scoop of vanilla powder, too)
- protein pancakes are the biggest staple in my diet. If it was healthy to have one per meal, I most certainly would!
- It seems as though the majority of my carbs are coming from my morning oats and my excessive fruit .. hmm..
- I really need to cut back on my fruit intake. Fruit (sugar sugar sugar) definitely isn't working with flattening this tummy
- I want to incorporate juicing into my Mondays-Fridays
- I love srirachi sauce on chicken but it is crazy high in sodium! Like 150mg (7% of your daily) per 5mL. That's like a third of a tablespoon. Whoa!
- Atleast 3-L of water was consumed each day (minus Sunday. Maybe 1 glass and 3 coffee - Bad.news.bears)
- 2 redbull were consumed on Monday/Tuesday evening (I was death at work and needed my wings)
- Atleast 1-XL Tim Horton's coffee was consumed each week days and a Starbucks Blond Roast on weekends/some week nights
- I'm addicted to peanut butters and almond butters and all kinds of nut butters. Yum!
- I feel thinner this week
- I feel really good this week
- I feel like I know how to make next week a better week just from re-reading the above
