day 2.....

Good Morning!
You all are going to love seeing the pictures of what I ate yesterday!  My day started off great, although I woke up to my period and some terrible day 1 cramps ( sorry guys). I still managed to eat my breakfast and drink my coffee and then  workout. It was P90X Chest and Back day. So i did ridiculous amounts of pushups, and band exercises for my back. I was supposed to do tons of pullups as well, but I didnt feel like having Jason put up the bar and I cant do any pull ups anyway. :) I was also feeling a little sore from my almost 5 mile run in the 95 degree heat the day before. (side note- i havent ran in almost 4 weeks, and sunday was my first day back)

I started my day with breakfast- it was beautiful- but Jason took the camera to bootcamp so I coudl not get a picture.... it was 2 whole eggs, and 1 egg white with 1 cup fresh cooked broccoli and 1 cup fresh garden picked summer squash all drizzled with my new obsession of my aged for 18 years balsamic vinegar. The stuff is amazing.

Later on I had.... 2 trader Joes gluten free waffles ( i dont eat gluten free I just bought these to try them), 5 strawberries sliced up, 1/3 cup blueberries and 1/4 cup sliced banans, topped with 1/2 tbsp organic agave nectar ( yum)

after i ate it, Alivia wanted to take a picture of my unshowered, un-made-up self....and her is what she took...

she followed it up with " EEEW YOU LOOK GROSS" LOLOLOLOL

when shopping at Target I was hungry so we got a bag of Organic Blue Corn Tortilla chips with flax seeds- 10 chips are 1 serving and that is exactly what I had. they are archer farms brand and if you havent tried them...your missing out!

Around 2ish I had- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 small cucumber ( really TEENY), 1/3 cup left over shredded chicken, and 1/3 cup summer squash...all drizzled with ( OF COURSE) my vinegar.

YUMMY. My favorite snack of the day..... is coming up next.......at a whopping 60 - yes SIXTY calories of yummy goodness......... 1 cup arugula, 5 sliced strawberries, 2 tbsp feta, and my special vinegar....

doesnt it just look amazing. no i dont have a recipe. i just look at all of my fresh food and put together what i like. and its AWESOME. i haven't followed a recipe in almost 2 months now! i do love to do that, but it just feels like more of a fall/winter thing to do!

Now here is where it gets bad...... we went to teh boardwalk to watch the the fireworks.....4 hours early. B/c we were warned many times about the craziness that would be down there. So we parked at a friends house, and walked to a pizza place. We ordered nachos as a appetizer.... here is what the whole thing looked like....

YIKES! Here is what I TRIED to portion out for myself....

Not bad, right? TOO BAD it didnt work! I ate probably-18 of those, not the 6 you see here. OPPS. I also ate 1.5 of these SMALL greasy things....

SO, instead of going to a party and snacking on crap and party food all day. I let my dinner be my one cheat meal. It did SOMEWHAT make me feel bad, but only a little.

There was a huge crazy thunderstorm and we had to run back to the car in the pouring rain, lightning and thunder. which was scary but also kinda fun. We got home around 7 and played with the kids on teh living room floor for a while. I ate a fiber one bar about an hour or so before I went to bed. FYI- the kids and Jason all got Icecream and I DID NOT!

That was my day. Not perfect.... but pretty good with the exception of my dinner. The only thing processed and packaged again, was my fiber one bar.
