Starting Point: 5K in 30 minutes.
Flexibility: Pretty limited...like a log...or the tin man...or a ruler.
Food Intake:
Breakfast-2 slices toast with peanut butter and banana. YUM!
Lunch-Shake (2 cups spinach, 1/2 cup spring mix mesclun, 1/2 bell pepper, 1/2 tomato, 1/2 oz of soy, 1 can V8 ((low sodium)) and 1 scoop super foods supreme.) Super healthy and doesn't taste TOO bad...especially when you don't breath through your nose. I split it in half, drink the first half 2 1/2 hours after breakfast (breakfast was at 9:00) and the other half at 2 hours after the first. Keeps me full through the day.
Dinner-Mini Chicken Pot Pies (Eee!! I'm so excited!!) and peach slices. Yuuuummmm!!!
Dessert-Cup of chai tea latte.
*And lots and lots of water throughout the day.
I think I can keep this up. I like to eat hearty breakfasts (like pb banana toast or unflavored oatmeal w/ nuts & fruit, gives me lots of energy) so that isn't a change in my everyday diet, and I enjoy cooking meals (like Mini Chicken Pot Pies!!! EEEEE!!) so that's not a change either. The hardest part of my day is lunch. If I make a sandwich I have to include chips...and a pickle spear...and a cookie (just like at a deli!) and I HATE frozen entrees (That's right, Lean Cuisine. I am not a fan). So the shake is the biggest change to my everyday food intake. We will see how often I can keep this up.
Exercise:
Ran 2.5 miles and walked 1.5 miles. Walked my dogs for an hour (Hey, it counts!). Skipped the pilates...Maybe later? I doubt it.
BUT I am super excited. A few nights ago I ordered Brazil Butt Lift from Beach Body. We have P90X but it honestly is way beyond my current abilities. I'm hoping that 90 days from when I receive the BBL dvd set (along with my training program for the Disney Princess Half Marathon--running, yoga, and pilates) I will be ready to start P90X.
This WILL be a common theme in my blog. My road to fitness. My path to a healthier, more holistic lifestyle. It will be a public account of my exercise, my diet, and any other inspirational/motivational/tips I learn along the way. I will be calling these entries: RemakingRacheal (I saw a blog called LosingLuisa last night and I LOVED it, so this is my take).
PB toast... that's become my usual breakfast too. Another fav is Kashi with a few spoonfuls of nonfat plain yogurt on top instead of milk. I'm going to have to try your shake because on my days off from work I will just munch away. LOL. Really cool blog. :)

ReplyDeleteTry the shake at your own risk; I make no promises to taste. I didn't breath when I drank it...which is GOOD...though luckily it had a *pleasant* after taste and the consistency wasn't that bad.
ReplyDeleteI will be posting images shortly.
Basically the only staples in it will be V8, tofu, and any assortment of veggies you want. It did keep me full.
