About Today & Menu

Today was a good day. There was no schedule today and those are sometimes the best days.  I worked out, ate clean, cleaned my home, mowed the lawn and even got to read April's Oxygen Mag! I didn't even realize it, but now as I calmly sit and relax, today was a day of balance and connection. I was able to do what I needed and wanted for me--and that feels good.


My day started with:
M1: Egg Whites, Toast w/ Almond Butter
Black Coffee

Then I was off to the gym. Today I wanted to take my time at the gym and knew that I was going to be there for a while, so I knew to bring my snack (M2). I made myself a protein shake and added some 'good greens'.  When I was at the Arnold Sports Expo, we came across the 'good greens' table, sampled and learned about the benefits..thought I'd give it a try and I am so happy I purchased a bottle! I don't always get in my greens and all the vitamins I should, so this is perfect for me! 
After my cardio I drank my protein/good greens shake and ate 1/2 an apple. 


M3: Salad with my fave veggies and avocado. I am super picky with my dressing. I use to only eat Blue Cheese dressing by Maria's at 19grams of fat per tbs. Now I either make my own (I will post recipe in another blog) or use Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing--SO good!
 I was really impressed and less than 4grams of sugar per serving! Good Stuff. 


M3: 1/2 Grapefruit with a handful of almonds. 
(there were more almonds on this plate prior to me taking the pic) :-) 


M5: Flank Steak, Green beans w/ 1/2c Brown Rice


Drank 160ounces of water


It was a good day! :-)
