My Weight Loss Program: Today was a Good Day!
As we try to maintain the weight we loss and stay on course with our weight loss program I would like to share with you my day today. Today is / was a good day. I can not say every day is this good in relationship to keeping good habits but this is what I strive for. I woke up about 5:30 and had a glass of water. Shook the cobwebs out of my head and about 6:00 I went to the fridge, got an apple, tomato, carrot and a clove of garlic and put them in the juicer to jump start my day. I did the same for my wife. I always have a glass of water after I drink my morning juice. Many people start with coffee, I start with fresh fruit and vegetable juice. Ok before breakfast I had 2 glasses of water and a fresh fruit and vegetable juice.
Breakfast
Breakfast for me today was a 2 egg omelet. I would call it a vegetarian omelet but I had a little sharp cheddar cheese added in. The omelet included spinach, green and red peppers and cheese. For seasoning I had white pepper and Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy Blend. My wife had the same except she had a 1 egg omelet and she prefers Mrs. dash Southwest Chipotle instead of the extra spicy. Her omelet is much spicier. As always I drank a glass of water after my meal. (Note: water is needed for many health reasons and we should drink 8 glasses a day or more, but for me it helps me feel full so can be satisfied with a vegetarian omelet as meal.) Many times when I do not have time to fix breakfast I will have an Advocare Meal Replacement Shake. I have them as needed versus make them my regular breakfast. It only takes me 10 minutes to make my breakfast and another 10 minute to eat it. By 7:30 I have had a morning juice 3 glasses of water and breakfast. About 8:00 I had an Advocare Spark Energy Drink (just like having another glass of water) and I began my cardio work out. I did 50 minutes on the elliptical exercise machine. Took a quick shower and was at work by 9:15. By the way work is in my home office.
I know everyone can not do this but, because I work mostly from home I take a break every hour or so and do push ups. I try do 3 sets of 20 three times a day.
Mid Morning Snack
Today, I had a banana and cup of Puer Tea. I drink my tea straight, no sugar, honey lemon, etc. It is an acquired taste. It is the best way to drink your tea. but that was the mid morning snack.
Lunch
About noon I made a nice salad. Today we had spinach (our staple not iceberg lettuce) shredded cabbage and shredded carrots, green and red peppers, red and white onions and tomatoes. I like a little sweet and spicy as well. So I added a little fresh (not canned) pineapple and raisins then spiced it up with my Mrs. Dash favorite Extra Spicy seasoning. I had a few crushed peanuts and topped lightly with a Red Wine Vinaigrette. Guess what? I had a glass of water after I ate.
Afternoon Snack
No snack this afternoon. I just had another Advocare Spark Energy Drink and did my 3 sets of 20. Now you may think that the Advocare Spark Energy Drink is like a Red Bull or something, but that is not true at all. The Advocare Spark Energy Drink is a natural nutritional vitamin supplement that also gives you a boost of energy. Like drinking coffee but all natural and no caffeine or sugar.
Dinner
Today we had my own pasta concoction. 100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti, sliced tomatoes, red, green and yellow peppers, fried in olive oil with grilled chicken and seasoned to taste. I try to eat off of a small plate so I am not tempted to eat too much. Water chaser and dinner was a wrap. Pun not intended today. 6:00 pm. Off to Church. Bible Study tonight. This is my weight loss program and today I had a good day.
