Scott has been wanting to lose a little weight and get back into shape. He has a much harder time working out than I do since he works so much. I could definitely stand to lose the 5 pounds I've slowly gained during the year of 2011 (so depressing). AND, I know I'm about to sound like a major hippie but I really try to listen to what my body is telling me it needs and wants and I think it's been wanting breakfast (which I never eat) and fruit (which I don't get enough of).
Needless to say, I decided my diet needed to be revamped so my body would feel better and have more energy....and lose those pesky 5 pounds. Scott likes to do the high protein, 5 meals a day diet so that's what we're doing. We started yesterday and of course Scott has already lost a pound. I've been getting up and making us a delicious and healthy breakfast. This is what I made this morning!
For lunch, I made tacos. I bought a rotisserie chicken from Walmart, wheat tortillas and decorated it with fresh onion, tomato, spinach and a tablespoon (or 3) of salsa. Because you can't eat a taco without salsa!!
So that's my life right now. The 5 meal, high protein diet really is the best way to eat I believe. I've done it off and on since I was 15 (it's the famed pageant diet) and it really does work so great. It's just a very slow weight loss. I think it will be easy to stick to and I can be pretty creative with meals when it comes to 'dieting.'
I went for a run around my neighborhood this morning and had a celebrity sighting. I certainly had no idea that Kelly, from Kelly's Korner lived in my neighborhood! There she was walking out of her house and pushing a stroller with her two little girls. I was like 'OMG KELLY!!!! I love your blog and read it every day.' I think I may have scared her. Anywho, fun fact.
After my 3.5 mile run I showered up, watched Regis & Kelly and The View then went to the gym for pilates/yoga. Today is definitely one of those days where I can tell my body loves me. Again, I realize I sound like a hippie.
