BBC DAY ONE

This Fit Mommy got off to a great start! Had my bowl of oatmeal, a banana and then was off for a hike. I did a hike with a very steep incline and power hiked it, running the downhill portion, finishing in about 1 hour 10 minutes. Then back to my car for Meal 2 - an apple. I didn't have time to make the brown rice OR squash for lunch so for Meal 3 I had a 96% lean hamburger patty (leftover from last night's dinner), 2 cups celery and TWO tablespoons peanut butter (my first extra, but it was too yummy!!). When I got home from running my errands I was hungry so I had another extra - 12 almonds. Still hungry, had anther extra - a large grapefruit. Then I had Meal 4, which for me was the squash I missed for lunch. I still haven't had my brown rice so I figured I am a little ahead, but this Fit Mommy is HUNGRY!! Sooooo, I scrambled up 5 egg whites (yet another extra).

Conclusion: this meal plan works best on days when you are not as active. On days when you are active you will need more calories (fuel for the furnace!) and your body will let you know. Listen to your grumbling tummy but make healthy, clean choices. Tomorrow I plan on a BIG extra since it is a weight day for this Fit Mommy - I am whipping up one of my yummy protein shakes to enjoy immediately after my workout and it will NOT replace one of my meals. I will, of course, have other extras throughout the day as needed. Off to make dinner, can't WAIT!! Lemon Garlic Sea Bass - yum! If it is s good as I hope it is I will post the recipe later (as well as a lighter weight routine to compliment this meal plan).


Yours in Fitness,
