Hey everyone! For today's blog post, I was actually inspired by Deanna (http://deannastilwell.com/) to do something like this. Go check out her post at (http://deannastilwell.com/2019/02/09/week-3-of-dieting/). Basically, I've been watching what I eat for quite some time now, and I wanted to share with you what I had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday this week. I'm not on any strict diet. I'm still eating a lot of the things I want to eat, which is ideal. I'll also be noting which days I exercised. Let's begin. Also, a side note: these measurements of food portion are estimated.
Monday (Exercise: 8 minute mile, 100 sit ups, 60 push ups) Breakfast: 1 cup Honey Bunches of Oats, 1 tablespoon gingerbread granola, 1/2 cup black sesame soy milk Lunch: 1/3 cup baby carrots, 2/3 cup sugar snap peas, 10 cherry tomatoes, 2 ounces guacamole, 5 pita chips (pieces), 1 pouch Happytot Superfoods Mango Apple and Kale + Super Chia Snack: 1/2 cup Coconut Clusters Dinner: Thai curry: 1/3 cup white rice, 2 tablespoons red thai curry, 2 ounces chicken breast meat, 1 cup steamed bok choy "Dessert": 5 Haribo gummy bears I have a one boba a week system going on, and unfortunately I quickly used that on Monday. I got kumquat lemon green tea with lychee jelly from Happy Lemon. Tuesday (Rest day) Breakfast: 1 cup Honey Bunches of Oats, 1 tablespoon gingerbread granola, 1/2 cup black sesame soy milk Lunch: 1/3 cup baby carrots, 2/3 cup sugar snap peas, 10 cherry tomatoes, 2 ounces guacamole, 1 tablespoon pistachios, 1/2 cup Coconut Clusters Snack: My mom brought back leftover dim sum, so I had 2 steamed shrimp dumplings, 1 fried shrimp roll Dinner: 3 ounces flat rice noodles, 2 ounces beef, 4 ounces chinese pea sprouts Dessert: 1 pack of Ultra Slim Pocky (about 1 ounce, or 15 sticks), 1 orange Wednesday (8 min mile, 100 sit ups, 60 push ups) Breakfast: 1 cup Honey Bunches of Oats, 1 tablespoon gingerbread granola, 1/2 cup black sesame soy milk Lunch: 1/3 cup carrot chips and broccoli florets, 2/3 cup sugar snap peas, 10 cherry tomatoes, 2 ounces guacamole, 1 tablespoon pistachios Snack: This day I was feeling hungrier than usual, so I had 2 slices Blaze pizza Dinner: Chicken tikka masala: 1/2 cup white rice, 3 tablespoons sauce, 3 ounces chicken breast. 4 ounces assorted leftover veggies (pea sprouts, green beans, cucumber, portobello mushrooms), 1 leftover fried shrimp roll Dessert: 1/2 cup coconut clusters Thursday (Rest day) Thursday was Valentine's Day, so I thought I would treat myself. I ate a lot this day, LOL! Breakfast: 1 cup Honey Bunches of Oats, 1 tablespoon gingerbread granola, 1/2 cup black sesame soy milk Lunch: 1/3 cup baby carrots, 2/3 cup sugar snap peas, 10 cherry tomatoes, 2 ounces hummus, 1 ounce dried mangoes, 1/3 cup Coconut Clusters 2nd lunch: Again, it was Valentine's Day, and I really wanted carbs, so I allowed myself to have a big bowl of chicken and noodles: About 4 ounces of egg noodles, 1.5 ounce chicken Snack: I know I said that I have a one boba a week system going on, but it was Valentine's Day, so I let it slide with: Sharetea's black milk tea with boba Dinner: 1/3 cup rice, 2 fishcake patties (2 ounces total), 2 ounces steamed egg, 3 ounces assorted leftover veggies (green beans, mushrooms, choy sum), 2 cubes of beef (about 0.5 ounces) Dessert: none Friday (8 min mile) Breakfast: 1 cup Honey Bunches of Oats, 1 tablespoon gingerbread granola, 1/2 cup black sesame soy milk Lunch: 1/3 cup baby carrots, 2/3 cup sugar snap peas, 10 cherry tomatoes, 2 ounces hummus, 1 ounce dried mangoes, 1 pouch Happytot Superfoods Mango Apple and Kale + Super Chia, 1 bag Kettle cooked chips with sea salt Snack: As I had a Liam Payne concert right after school, I didn't eat a snack. Dinner: I had dinner at a Chinese restaurant today. Normally I don't watch what I eat too too carefully when I eat out, but I had: Egg fried rice, chicken skewers, cold shredded tofu salad, assorted vegetables such as cabbage and cucumber Dessert: none Saturday (8 min mile, 100 sit ups, 60 push ups) Breakfast: I don't get up early on Saturdays, so I didn't have breakfast. Lunch: I had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant this day: 1 bowl bun bo hue, 1/2 spring roll Snack: I don't snack on weekends. Dinner: 1/4 cup rice, 1 ounce chicken breast, 3 ounces choy sum Dessert: 1 orange, 1/2 cup Coconut Clusters and dark chocolate covered Coconut Clusters Sunday (7 min 55 mile, 100 sit ups, 60 push ups) So here I would like to take the time to explain my system that I have going on. I normally have work on Saturdays, so usually Saturdays will be the one day of the week where I eat one meal the whole day. But this week, I was scheduled for work for Sunday, so that's why on this day I only had dinner. Breakfast: I also don't get up early on Sundays, so no breakfast! Lunch: Once again, I had work, so I skipped lunch. Snack: I don't snack on weekends. Dinner: Olive oil spaghetti: 4 ounces thin spaghetti, 1 ounce pork, 2 ounces chicken, 5 shrimps, 3 ounces cabbage Dessert: 1/3 cup coconut clusters As you can see, even though I eat much healthier for lunch this year and much less when I eat dinner at home, as opposed to last year, where all I ate was carbs, carbs, and carbs each meal, my system is not strict. I give myself a lot of room for boba and sweets, in moderation of course, but I can never give these treats up. I'm also exercising WAY more this year than last. I like that I have one day of the week where I eat way less as well, the day where I go to work, and I honestly feel the same throughout the day as if I did have something to eat for breakfast and/or lunch. Thanks for reading, and happy Sunday!
