First for What I Ate Wednesday…. I have been doing protein powder with almond milk and coffee pre workout pretty much every day. Post workout I do a quick shake with protein powder, almond milk, almond flour and 1/2 banana. My actual breakfast for the next few weeks will be egg whites, yams and avocado. Mid morning has been a protein pancake but that will have to go soon too Lunch is steak with yams, veggies and avocado. Afternoon has been tuna and veggies (no pic) and dinner will probably be fish or egg whites. I have been wanting to barf at the thought of chicken lately so it’s out for a while. AND – So excited when I was looking through old pics...

Read MoreThis is a quick What I Ate Wednesday because I have been meaning to blog more about my eats and I have been doing a terrible job taking pictures :/ First a sneak peak at my bridal shower weekend (I am waiting on more pics for the full post because my maid of honor did an INCREDIBLE job).

Read MoreSo this week has been good with eats. Super appropriate for a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) I made my clean turkey chili for lunches for me and then made some peanut butter banana protein bars for breakfast/snacks. They are a variation of my normal oatmeal bakes and were a little crumbly but completely delicious. This recipe was cut into 12 bars and I’ve been eating 1 or 1 and 1/2 for breakfast. Ingredients: 6 scoops vanilla protein powder (or chocolate) 3 ripe bananas 6 tbsp of peanut butter 2 cups old fashioned oats 1 cup almond milk lots of cinnamon (because I love it) Standard warning!! I do not like sweetener so I don’t bake with it. If you normally...

Read MoreYay!! So glad I am back with WIAW now that I am doing my own thing again. I have a TON of eats to share with you guys – some from our vaca so I’m excited about it. I will be honest – we did not eat clean the entire time we were in Texas (or green). I mean come on we HAD to have some Texas bar-b-que. Biggest sandwich ever! I had a few bites and let the Fatkid have the rest – and my stomach was not happy about it – wheat + fatty foods = not good. But it tasted yummy and I probably won’t do it again until we go back Our second night there we had a little date night because it was 2 hours earlier for us and everyone was in bed....
Read MoreToday is WIAW #9 my eats are pretty boring right now (and will be for the next four weeks) while I finish up the LiveFit program. I promise once I am done I will be more exciting! I do have the pancake recipe for you that I was thinking about posting last WIAW. It is super easy and I make it the night before and head them up in the am. Ingredients: 5 egg whites 1/3 cup oats (or half, whatever you want ) 1/2 tsp flaxseed 1/2 tsp chia seed 1/4 cup berries splash almond milk (unsweetened original) Blend together and put in the pan.

Today was Day 51 in the trainer and I keep getting more and more anxious for Phase 3 which starts next week. Also, I did a...
Read MoreThis WIAW is a double whammy because I started high and low calories days with the Jamie Eason trainer this week.
