This is not a food journal, but an outline of what I mainly eat throughout the day. The intention of sharing this is to provide you with a glimpse of how I structure my meals and workouts and to link yummy recipes or fun workouts you might want to try for yourself.
Since this is not a food journal and I don’t count calories I’m not writing out every single bit or sip I take a day. Sometimes I have bites here and there of Quinn’s food or something else and not writing it out. I’ve been trying my best not to mindlessly snack, but it happens 😉 By creating an outline of my weekly eats and workouts I’m more likely to stick to a regular eating schedule and not just snack through the day.
I’be also been loving Melissa Wood’s low impact workouts. I was previously using the SWEAT app and my friend encouraged me to try this workout method instead. So far I’m loving it and have been combining it with my Peloton rides and lots of walking.
Every morning I have coffee with 2 scoops Vital Proteins and frothed almond milk. I aim to drink 80-120 oz water a day and this week since we were doing the water challenge I was consistently drinking at least 3 of my 40oz Hydro Flasks a day and felt SO good being well hydrated. It helps cut cravings and I notice a difference in my skin and energy as well.
