Its over..

Alright everyone, I survived my 21 days with My Fit Foods. It was a great lifestyle change. I've lost 4 pounds, which doesn't seem like a lot but I know I lost inches. Wait until you see the picture below. I've also had more energy so that I could train and run my 5k.

I know the way my eating habits have changed with stick with me for a while. I feel so good, I don't even know how to explain it.

Are you guys ready for this? I hope you can see the change and improvement. READY, set, GO!


Thanks for everyone who followed me through this journey.. it was NOT easy.

Second to last post..

Hola.

Its been a while since I've posted anything.. Nothing's really changed. I haven't posted any pictures because I haven't had anything new to eat. Although, I've found out that the oat bake is my favorite breakfast by far. I will definitely eat it after my 21 days are up. I only have 2 more full days. I'm so excited. I know that it's changed my eating habits and I hope to be able to stick with them. I can't wait to post my after picture on Tuesday. The only thing that I would change about My Fit Foods, is that I would want to make some more lunches and snacks that don't have to be refrigerated or microwaved. It's way to hard works and traveling to have all my food microwaved. I'm so glad Ive stuck with this program. It has really helped and I can see a change. I'm not going to lie I've given up a little bit just because its so hard to always have my foods. But when I do cheat, I still try to make sure it's not horrible. Although, I do have a fro yo date with my roomie on Wednesday night and I'm going to be baddddd.

I'll post again on Tuesday for my last day. I hope I can make it my last two days :)

15th day

All I have to say is I was bad today. 

Look at this picture. 


We went to a luncheon for networking today and it was "state fair" themed. 

The top picture on the left is a Lobster corn dog, tomato ginger jam, and truffle tarter sauce. 
To the right is Shrimp Jambalaya Pot Pie, and a Fried Green Tomato.
The bottom left is our main course which was a turkey leg, grilled wild boar sausage, poblano mac-n-cheese, corn and jalapeño pickled slaw. 
For dessert, on the bottom right, we had peaches and creme brûlée topped with soft whipped cream and a funnel cake biscotti. 

I'm not eating for the next 12 days..

13th and 14th days

I have officially decided that our internet is GHETTO! That's why I haven't been blogging every night, but I feel like every other day is good too. 

So yesterday I was NOT good at all. For breakfast I had Special K cereal, which isn't bad, but not on my diet. I can't remember what my first snack was yesterday, but my second snack was another protein cookie. For lunch I was out with my work so I had to stop to eat lunch, I had a grilled chicken greek salad. I feel like thats pretty good for cheating. All the vegetables were fresh from the farmers market. It was excellent. 

My dinner is below. Salmon Cakes. It was really good. I feel like I could have salmon more, and I guess with my new life style I will have to.

For breakfast this morning, I had fit granola. It was yogurt, strawberries, blueberries and granola bars. It was so good. I had them change my breakfasts from meat, potatoes and eggs to more granola and oatmeal type meals. They're a lot better.
 My first snack was cottage cheese and fruit. I love the cottage cheese.. I had a lot of fruit today, but it was a lot better then having vegetables all the time. 
I didn't eat my lunch today because we were out running around and I forgot a fork, shame on me. But I ate my second snack instead. It was peanut butter and apples. Yum Yum!
My dinner was pear salmon. It was on a bed of fresh spinach with a pear relish salsa. It was good. Something different besides chicken and ground turkey. I like the change I'm finally getting out of the food. 

My energy level has been great. I run 2 miles today. I'm almost to my goal of 3 by February. This just means I'll have time to get my speed up. Also, I only have a week left. PERFECT! I'm so excited.

The last thing is that I still haven't got on a scale to weigh myself, but I know that I'm losing inches. I can feel it around my waist. I guess we'll see what happens in the end.

11th and 12 days

I've been horrible at trying to remember to blog. But it's also the weekend and my schedule has been a little different. I've also been working really hard at not cheating. Its been successful.

Yesterday morning, I had Americano for lunch. Its tenderloin tips, eggs and potatoes. One of my favorite breakfast, also the first one I had ever ate. :)

I forgot to take a picture of my snack, but it was a perfect patty, which is steel cut oats, and eggs and blue berries. Its kind of like a bread but comes as a snack. Confusing to explain. I'll have to take a picture tomorrow. 

For lunch, I had chicken enchiladas. SOOO yummy. I love enchiladas and it came with black beans.

Last night was my designated cheat night. I went to Champps with the family and had a blue cheese burger and onion rings. I got it without a bun and no bacon. I think I'm doing pretty well. I've learned how to eat better and not to stuff myself. Just make myself content. 

TOday I went to play golf with my dad and I made sure I grabbed all my food from the fridge, but in the mist of not being awake yet, I forgot my breakfast. THerefore, I had to stop for breakfast. I had McDonalds Oatmeal with fruit and no brown sugar. Its only 260 calories, I believe thats the best choice I could make without it being too bad. 

My first snack was a hummus bowl. With chicken. I couldn't eat the chicken. THeres way to much chicken in my life right now. EW!

My lunch was also chicken. "Hawaiian Chicken" I ate just the fruit and the rice out of it. I can't deal with all this. 

I'll also admit that I didn't eat my second snack today. I wasn't hungry and my eating schedule was kind of messed up. 

But for dinner, I'm having chili.. It sounds perfect for a rainy night like this.

I only have 9 more days left. and I'm really excited about my lifestyle change. I feel like I know how to eat better and still be happy when I'm done eating set meals. Although, I will tell you the first night I'm off my diet I'm having Frozen Yogurt with my roomie. Sorry Charlie. 
Friday night, we went to Grapefest. It was so hard, all my friends were drinking and they had a RED VELET FUNNEL CAKE! Who can't pass that up? Well this girl did!

9th and 10th days

I forgot to blog last night. OOPPPSS!

Ive been feeling great, but I'm really starting to get sick of the food. At night its the worst. I just want to eat something else. All the chicken has the same seasoning on it so it all pretty much tastes the same. I'm half way there though, I'm not giving up now.

Yesterday, I ate migas for breakfast. BLAH! I'm just not a huge fan but I really try to eat as much as I can. I think i ate about half.

I had a new snack yesterday, it was fruit and cottage cheese. I enjoyed it a lot, i actually like cottage cheese compared to most people. 

My second snack was a lunch bar. If you remember I ate one snack for dinner the night before so I had to eat a pretend snack for my second one yesterday.

For dinner last night, I had fit nuggets, which is my fit foods way of making chicken nuggets, with broccoli, carrots and a mustard dipping sauce. They were fantastic. Exactly what I needed, something different with the chicken. 

Today for breakfast, I had the oat bake. It was so good. I actually ate all of it, which is something new for breakfast. It was delicious.

My first snack was Blueberry greek yogurt. 
I forgot to take a picture of my lunch, but i had turkey meatloaf and mashed sweet potatoes. Good for a gloomy day, like today.
My second snack was a protein cookie. It was peanut butter flavor. 

For dinner, I had this new salad. Its called gimme salad, and its basically chicken salad on top of a normal salad. It wasn't what I expected once again but I ate what I could. 

Now it's time to head out to grapefest. Hopefully I'll be able to control myself. Oh by the way, I haven't lost any weight but I definitely feel better and I can tell my stomach is a flatter. Way to go fit foods!

8th day

Alright, let me just warn you now. I cheated a little bit today. I COULDN'T HELP IT! I'm sorry. But I think I made up for it at dinner.

For breakfast, I had Kale and Eggs again. I got in a argument with one of my co workers because "supposedly"Kale is a green. I did not know that. I don't see anything green about this plate? 

My first snack was a protein shake. Alaways a good choice!

Alright, heres my CHEAT. But it wasn't as bad as it looks. We went to a bistro in Dallas and I had a turkey club. But I was smart about it. I took off the bread, I didn't get bacon on it, and I had fresh fruit for my side. So pretty much all I ate was cheese, turkey, lettuce and tomato. THere wasn't even a dressing on it. 

For dinner, I had my yogurt that was actually suppose to be my snack for tomorrow. Smart move huh?

Today was a busy busy day, but I stayed feeling pretty good. I really think this lifestyle change is helping. Only 13 more days. I know I can do this. I'm seeing a difference in my body. My stomach looks flatter but I'm still not brave enough to jump on a scale!
