Klean eats, good treats

Well, day 3 is done and I already feel lighter on my feet for the start of day 4. Maybe it's just beginners luck, but, whatevs.

I stayed Klean all day yesterday and discovered some pretty awesome recipes and ideas. I didn't run yesterday but I did do some serious Yoga stretches because my body just isn't used to running on the daily, so I was feeling pretty stiff.  I'm carrying on with my 5k training today though, and I'm going to try to get up to 1.5 miles.  I'm surprising myself on the running front.  Even though I'm literally slower than a turtle, I can go a lot farther without stopping than I had originally thought.  It's all a mind game really.  My mind gives up long before my body.  I'm working on that.  

For breakfast, I had two scrambled eggs with a pinch of seasoned salt and 3 links of turkey sausage. The turkey sausage really hurt my stomach...It is probably the most prossesed thing I've eaten in a few days, so that is probably why.  I'm going to look for a more natural version.  Any ideas?  Breakfast was right around 240 calories. 

Lunch was left over from Monday night. Roasted red pepper quinoa with brown rice ( I use Near East brand ) peppers, chicken.  Easy peasy.  Right around 200 calories. 

Snacks are 100 calorie pack almonds and a light cheese stick.  150 calories together.  I ate this little combo twice yesterday. I also drank a lot of Peppermint and Passion Fruit herbal tea.   I LOVE tea.  

Dinner was quinoa and chicken again (minus the peppers) but I added a little Frank's Buffalo sauce and some light shredded cheese melted on top. UM, YUM!!  It tasted like Buffalo Chicken stir fry.     So. Good.     350 calories. 

 

Ok, now, PAY ATTENTION!!

Go buy these two things...

That's Greek God's all natural HONEY flavored Greek Yogurt.  I get the big tub cause it's THAT good. ( Thanks to my friend Amy for introducing me to it ) I can usually find it at Kroger and Target. If your store doesn't have it, go up to the customer service desk and request it, they'll be happy to keep it in stock for you. 

You'll also need some dark chocolate chips.   I'll probably find an organic version soon but I haven't had time to go to Whole Foods or Fresh Market this week.  For me, the darker the better, but everyone has their own preference. 

You are going to use 4 or 5oz of the yogurt and 1or 2 Tablespoons of the chocolate chips.   It will look like this little slice of heaven.....

That yogurt tastes like cream cheese and cake batter all mixed into one.  It. Is. THAT. good.  The chocolate chips give it a little crunch and kicks my chocolate craving.  I have a major sweet tooth, especially at night, so this takes care of it and fills me up.  It's awesome. Trust. 

Ready for this.... It's 240 calories.  

You're welcome. 

What clean, low cal dessert recipes do you use to kick the craving?

This stuff is also good for during the day when I start craving something bad.  It's really good, can't wait to try some more flavors. 

I came in just under 1400 calories for the day.  I'm trying to stay right around 1300-1500 per day.  

Well, that's about all I have for now. Thanks to everyone for all the encouraging messages you've sent me. It makes me really happy and I'm so glad I can be of help to some people.
