What a great week! I staggered out my cardiovascular work-outs and had some great lifting sessions.  In the nutrition departmentI have cleaned up my diet of any junk food.  I have been sticking to chicken, tuna, salmon, tilapia, catfish, lean turkey and egg whites. CHO’s I have been implementing brown rice, steel cut oatmeal, brown rice rice cakes, wheat tortillas and sticking to a high fiber diet with flaxseed. I eat plenty of veggies and snack on mainly cottage cheese, celery sticks with all natural peanut butter.  I keep my friut intake of strawberries and blueberries in the early morning.  My fat intake comes from all natural fats of avocado, and nuts. I keep a 14oz nalgene bottle and drink 9 of those through out the day that equates to a gallon of water. I like eating real food and supplement protein shakes when I actually need to.  I absolutely "LOVE" Lean Dessert Protein shakes.  What will I ever do with-out it in my oatmeal!  And not to mention my coffee… mild/medium black! Cleaning up my diet makes a difference.  I have more energy and I feel great through out the day. 

I have to say… measuring everything and tracking meals down can be a pain, but to be  efficient this is what it takes.  With every week that goes by, my meal plan will change as well as my macronutrient in grams.  I am living it up now since I have options.
