Hello y'all
Just wondering who out there pays attention to diet and fitness. I thought we could share some tips, successes, failures, recipes, etc when it comes to diet and exercise.
I'm very very active and excercise on average at least two hours a day whether it be sporting activities or just working out and on a good day like today it can be upwards of 6 hours. Ill get more specific if anyone is interested but IMO what you eat is the most important factor so I'm going to move right to that and this is my basic day. Keep in mind I try to eat Vegetarian at least three days a week if possible.
Breakfast (I select one option)
Protein Shake with skim milk
Protein Meal replacement Bar with glass of skim milk
Small Bowl of Grape Nuts with skim milk
EVERYDAY: 12-20 oz coffee no sugar but skim milk added
Lunch
Carrots-Strawberrys-Blueberrys- Veggie Chips all mixed together(large Container)
*Sometimes I'll eat a fancy (expensive) peanut butter sandwich too but not always
If I didn't protein Shake for breakfast I'll often have it for lunch with veggies and fruit
Snack (only one)
Fiber Bar
Nuts with M&Ms
Apple
Pita and Humas
Dinner Options
Veggie Tacos (beans, corn, Salsa, lettuce, jalapeño)
Veggie Pastas
Chicken Spaghetti with hot peppers
Deli Ham or Pastroami sandwich w/Veggie Chips and carrots
Grilled Cheese with Tomato, Salsa, and Jalapeño
Soup and Salad w/veggies
I always start the day with a glass of water upon waking up and when I need to shed s few pounds I'll drink a lot of water throughout the day. A lot!!! I find this helps me feel less hungry too.
Any suggestions that help maintain a healthy lifestyle or is there anything in my list that needs tweaked? What have you had success with when trying to shed a few pounds or find a healthy source of energy?
Here is one that I'm wondering if anyone with sinus issues can relate to. I like eating spicy food when I feel sinus pressure building or even just chopping an onion. I can't tell you how many times this has helped me avoid medication like Claritin. I've blabbed enough for now. Anyone care to join in the discussion?
