Example of what i eat most days that is

7:00 am -oatmeal with agave nectar and almond milk
8:00 am- an orange
9:00 am - banana & meal replacement drink
11:30 am - carrot
12:00 noon- clif bar (trader joes)
1:00 pm - mixed greens salad 1/2 tsp dresssing
2:00 pm - brown rice wrap, tomato sauce, chicken and a little pinch of bacon, cheese
4:00 pm - Chicken, brown rice and peas
6:00 pm - carrot and maybe a raw potato(yes i know it's weird)
Night snack- if any i have popcorn or maybe a salad


That is a pretty average day for me.
I just recently had to cut out nuts(because Sykara might be allergic) which is usually a big part of my snacks. I also often snack on rasins or a hand full of flax. I also had to cut out gluten, which means bread. It has made a huge difference in my tummy in a matter of 3 days. I have a multivitamin and my meal replacement shake has a ton of good stuff in it as well. Oh yea, i drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. as well as 6 cups of tea.(gotta make milk for my baby)

Miracle Food

Apparently wheat germ is the magic bullet for my diet. It comes up almost all the time as a suggestion. Proof that this program is getting under my skin? Tonight I snacked on plain non-fat yogurt with a pile of wheat germ and some token fruit, just to see those "A"'s. These are not choices I've ever made before. I might not make that particular one again, I need to pay more attention at the beginning of the day and plan ahead.

Great workout with Charles today! We had some video trouble which did strange things to the timing but it mostly sorted itself out. I love how he challenges me on some of the strength moves. Was it the Bruce Lee push-up? I'll be trying on getting that one right for a looooong time. I worked some core muscles that I've never isolated before - it was the side hip raise move, that's as technical as I can get with describing it. New tricks! I think he may even have said that one was good for the "love handle" area, woo hoo!

The Booty-lift Rocks!

Phew. That Booty-lift workout was GOOD. Just finished. 50 minutes. Wow. I love all the reminders Tami: push from your heels, breathe, suck in your tummy, etc. Way helpful when I am focusing on form. It's easy to forget those little things. Really liked working with the weights. I felt a bit validated, having 5 lb. weights and hearing you mention about 5 lb. weights. Also... my bench was HIGH. So ouch on those leg lifts. But oh, so good. But the AB workout killed me. Those leg lifts, I simply could not do them all. But I pushed and did what I could. The stretching at the end was great. It felt soooooo good. My favorite session yet. Thanks. xox
