I'm feeling really good at the end of my first week of living Klean! I started on Sunday, so my workout's go from Sunday - Thursday and I take Friday and Saturday as rest days. I'll probably work out tomorrow though, one, because I don't have to work tomorrow, so I won't have to get up early...and two, because I skipped Tuesday because I felt like my body needed to rest. I'm trying my best to listen to my body and not my mind because like I said yesterday, my mind gives up WAY before my body needs to.
I got up and ran this morning and I shaved some more time off of my mile. I started the week (Sunday) at a 19 minute mile and I'm down to just under 17 minutes. I'm pretty proud of that. As I was running I was trying to beat my time, so I up'd my speed a little and to my surprise I didn't fall flat on my face. At .5 to go Katy Perry's Firework came on and I started to cry a little. Trust me, I know how lame that sounds. But, I think at that moment it clicked in my brain that I actually COULD do this and that struck a nerve. Plus, that song is awesome and came on at just the right time. I couldn't even run for one minute the last time I tried to start something like this so now, being able to run for 19 minutes straight, no matter how slow, is a huge deal for me.
Breakfast was two hard boiled eggs and my snacks were 100 calorie almond packs and light cheese sticks. My Vfusion I drink after I run. Have I told you how good they are? They are! All of that equals out to 340 calories. Plus, of course, my peppermint and Passion hot tea throughout the day.
Lunch was a green smoothie from Juice Bar here in Brentwood, TN ( just south of Nashville ) they are amazing and convenient to where I work. This is a Large green smoothie. It has Spinach, Kale, Banana, Lemon, Apple and Pinapple. It is sooo good. You do not taste the Kale or Spinach at ALL! I'm not 100% sure how many calories are in this and I'm not really concerned with it considering how good it is for you...but from what I've researched online I think it's around 350 for the Large. I will ask next time I'm there to get an accurate number.
For dinner I made Spaghetti Squash with roasted peppers and fresh tomato sauce.
I got the most natural ingredients I could find...
I got an "Organic" sauce and an "All Natural" sauce. The "All Natural" was the one that was actually Natural, the organic, not so much.
I found this sauce at Kroger. It's legit. And really good.
You will cut the squash in half and empty the seeds. Brush with EVOO, salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 375 and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. If it starts looking dry, add some more EVOO.
While it's baking go ahead and put your peppers in a skillet and let them sauté with a little EVOO. Once they are starting to get soft, add in the sauce, and let simmer until you are ready for it.
When your squash is ready, take out of oven and let cool for just a few minutes. Next, you'll take a fork and just scrape out the insides. It naturally comes out stringy just like spaghetti. It's pretty cool
2 full cups of the "Spaghetti" is only 60 calories! Squeal!!
Once you make your plate of the squash you'll add your sauce and a little bit of of fresh grated Parm.
After dinner I had a little bowl of my chocolate chip yogurt that was on the blog yesterday.....Aaaand I may or may not have had a beer. Don't judge!! I'm a working girl and my job drains the ever loving life out of me. Gotta do what I gotta do. ;-)
So, I came in just under 1400 calories for the day not including what I burned in my workout.
I am never hungry. I'm realizing just because I'm eating Klean doesn't mean I can't eat a good helping that fills me up.
It's amazing what happens when you put the RIGHT fuel in your body.
Hope you liked these these recipes and Cheers to the freakin' weekend!!
