Quinoa is the bomb.
Yum yum yum is all I have to say. I just got done making my lunches for the week and decided to try this stuff for the first time. I made it with low sodium organic vegetable broth from TJ’s and dang it came out soo good! I am accompanying it with lime juice-jalapeno-honey (just a smidge of honey for all 4 pounds I cooked up) chicken that I just pan-cooked. I must say that I cooked up a fab chicken dish tonight. I am very excited for my new lunches this week. I’ve been eating so much tuna and I’ve finally become sick of it. I’m in the process of putting together new workouts and my diet is getting switched up… just trying to keep my body guessing to I can boldly break into the 130’s within the next week or so. My main carbs are quinoa, oats and ezekiel bread. I’m going to keep to nonfat cottage cheese, chicken, ground turkey, egg whites and protein powder for the protein sources. My fats will be natural peanut butter, almonds and egg yolks for healthy fats. I buy and cook for myself so it’s extremely helpful to buy things that are cheap and easy to prepare… and a lot of it so I can eat the same $hit everyday and not be too wasteful. Today I did shoulder/triceps/abs. I switched it up by doing supermans ss with tricep ext., then a drop set of side lateral raises, front raises AND rear delt flyes.. I was feeling like a superwoman after all these… then did upright rows, assisted dips and push ups then swiss ball crunches, side planks with a dip for the obs and bicycle crunches… then 30 min step mill with glute kickbacks every 5 mins and ten min of elliptical to cool down… whew! Now if only I can kick @$$ like this every single day! I’m going to try! I can’t wait to lean out some more and reveal these muscles I’ve been working so hard to get this past year!
