Some clients have no idea...

Clients expect those in the fitness industry to be positive role models.  While true...do those in the fitness industry feel pressure to BE those positive role models?  I hope so!  HOWEVER, as "that person" I'll be the first to say that I do not live a life that is on nuts, berries, supplements, and greens.  Furthermore, I try really hard to get my workouts in, but some days it's just as hard as any everyday Joe or Jane.  I blame it on work and kids:)  LOVE BOTH, but they just get in the way sometimes.  HA!

With that said...while workouts can be missed, eating can go awry too.  And boy oh boy, I'm getting back on the saddle again.  I knew I fell off when I ate:

• a bowl of Lucky Charms at 10:00pm a couple nights ago
• making dinner for my family last night, and ate 2 pieces of leftover Armand's pizza as an appetizer 
• OH YES, when I finished the Puppy Chow left in our RAGNAR Relay van and didn't want to share it with my daughter
• UGH...and when I scarfed down chocolate chips with peanut butter filled pretzels

When I journal, those things may happen...but definitely not nearly as much.

OK...so what the heck am I saying here?  I'm saying that I'm jump starting my MINDFUL eating today and journaling for 2 weeks.  The last time I did 10 weeks and it about KILLED me.  But this short getting back on the horse type of journaling will help.

I'm going from Tuesday, June 11th to Monday, June 24th.

Tuesday, June 11th

Breakfast:  Kashi GoLean Toasted Berry Crumble; frozen blueberries; almond milk; coffee with creme brulee syrup (sugar free) and french vanilla creamer (sugar free).

Lunch:  Chipotle Carnitas Bowl (I wanted chicken, but it was gonna take a couple minutes.)  On my bowls, I ask for a little brown rice, lots of black beans, little sour cream, little cheese, fresh salsa, lots of lettuce, and this time I had a little guacamole.  Iced tea with a lemon.

Snack:  Apple (remember my mantra...big lunch, light snack; light lunch, larger snack)

New to my regimen has been a women's multi-vitamin and fish oil.  After I turned 40, I decided it was time to start taking my vitamins.  I started putting the bottles on the window sill above the sink so I can SEE them.  I'm a huge out of sight, out of mind person so I need that visual to keep me from forgetting.  YES, I'm getting older...not old...older:)

Dinner: Breakfast for dinner.  1 egg, 2 egg white scrambled eggs (little skim milk) mixed with ham, green pepper, zucchini, onion, spinach, cheese, and a slice of avocado.  So good!  Drank my cocktail of Key Lime Sparkling water from Jewel mixed with Coconut La Croix.

OK, there's my first day...unless I have a snack later.  I promise to post if I do:)

Disclaimer:  This all came about when I offered to journal with a client.  Who wants to join in on the 2 week fun?  No need to tell me...just do it!!
