My meals thorughout the day. Back on track

I know I have not  written in this blog for a while but I have been blogging everyday the last few days so I figured I need to come back to this blog as well.
So I am doing a new program. Insanity Asylum:volume one (1).

Protein shake and a protein bar!
1 scoop protein powder
16 oz. almond coconut milk

1 whole tomato
3 lettuce leaves or 1 cup chopped lettuce
Salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil



Chop up the tomato into cubes and place into a bowl.

Peel off the skin from the tomatoes and grate in a bowl.
















Tomatoes and cucumbers mixed up in a bowl.

Chop lettuce thinly and add to the mix.




















End product.  Mix all together and eat.

You can use this as a topping on your fish or fish tacos. Anything that has to do with fish


















Dinner:
Tofu potato dinner with mushrooms
3 oz tofu
1 cup mushrooms, what ever mushrooms you want and love
1 whole red potato
Salt and seasoning to taste.
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cups water

Diections
Place the 2 cups of water in a pot and place on the stove top over medium heat.
Peel your potato and place in the pot of water. Add some salt for your taste.
Let potatoes boil and cook for 20-25 minutes.
In a frying pan, place 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat and let the oil get hot. When the oil is hot place the mushrooms in the pan. You can add some salt, black pepper, season salt and garlic powder.
Let it cook.
Turn the oven on 350 and let it heat up.  thinly slice your tofu and place on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle some salt and garlic powder over the tofu and let it cook in the oven for 10 minutes or until done.
After your potato is done  drain out the water, crush potatoes with a fork, add some spray butter and serve. You can add water ever yo like to your mush potato.

Day 8!!

Today has started out pretty great. Woke up and did some cleaning then got to my working out. Todays workout was turbo fire sculpt 30 and hit 25.
I have to admit that I love working out and feeling good.

Had a protein shake for breakfast with 5 strawberries, some coconut milk and whole milk because that is the only milk I have in my fridge. For lunch Had nothing because a protein shake with frozen foods and other stuff keeps you full for a bit.

So dinner is a lentil stew with lots of veggies. I have the ingredients on my blog for vegan meals. The only thing I did was instead of using vegetable broth I used water and I did my own seasons and what ever mushrooms I had. I also used ketchup instead of tomato paste. I did not do 6 cups mushrooms but instead two of those little boxes.

 
So this is my veggies cut up and just placed on the stove top.

These are my veggies cooking up.

These are my veggies and lentils in the crockpot cooking for over 6 hours. I put it all in the crockpot from 10pm and turned it off at 7:30am. So I let it cook over night.

This is my finished product and it tastes great.

Day 7!!

Yesterday!! Ok so yesterday I did turbo fire, hit 15 and ab ripper x abs which is like 20 minutes long. I also did my 50 squats and 40 lunges and my mini but workout. I did 30 burpees and the group challenge of 2 minute plank, 40 squats with weights but i used a resistance band and 2 minute mountain climbers.

I had oatmeal for breakfast which included the usual, wheat germ, honey, cinnamon and flax seeds.
No actually I did things different yesterday. After working out and showering i had 2 potatoes, a plantain, half avocado, sauteed and oven baked tofu all for breakfast. I had nothing in between and around late mid day had a 100 calorie quaker oats bar and for dinner I  had my oatmeal.

WOW this blog is pretty short but this was my yesterday.
Day 6!!

It has been one heck of a weekend. Love is such a difficult thing and alot of work and effort. I did not post this weekend because I had a way rough time. But I am doing alot better and getting back to my old self.

But here is a run down of what my weekend was. So saturday morning I had my oats again. I n the oats there was cinnamon, wheat germ, flax seeds and honey. The usual.
Went grocery shopping and got some good stuff. Was so off in my head with so much going on I hardly got any of what I needed. For a snack I had a kit kat and some jalapeno beef jerky. I had some teriyaki beef flavour chowmein. It is almost like ramien noodles but it comes in a black container with a small packet of veggies and the beef flavouring seasoning. It's microwaved for minutes and then eaten up lol.

That evening I had roasted red pepper hummus and two pita bread. I love hummus so good honestly. Did not eat or make much but loved it. What is better than a healthy dip.

Ok workout wise I did turbo fire, hit 15 and p90x abs on Saturday along with my group challenge workout which was 45 crunches, 2 minute high kicks and 45 squats. I also did my 40 lunges, 50 squats and my mini butt workout. I also did my burpees which i believe was 20.

On Sunday I ate hummus and chips all day with the same chowmein dish and some 100 calories special k bars. I believe I had 5 of them. But all i ate was hummus and chips and 2 pita bread later that night with more hummus.
I did 50 crunches which was the group challenge and that was all. I don't workout on sundays so yep. did no burpees and relaxed.

I also did my 30 burpees and for the group  we had to do 50 crunches, 15 push ups and 20 high kicks 10 on each leg. Not to intense today but was good. I always have my own personal challenge which is 50 squats and 40 lunges, 20 on each leg and i do some leg lifting to work my butt, which is working because i am feeling it.

Onto my eating. So today I had oatmeal for breakfast again. The usual with wheat germ, flaxseed, honey and cinnamon. Also I do my oatmeal with water no milk.
For lunch I had a mini salad with bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes and balsamic vingerette. I also snacked on some bell peppers with a little ranch later on and some over fried zucchini.
For dinner I had some more plantains, some lentils, just a little, an avocado and some sauteed mushrooms, onions and oven fried tofu. You know how when you eat something you want more thats how i am. I try something one day and if i like it i eat it for that entire week.
But yep that is what my workout and meals were for today.

Day 4!!!

Today has been a really good day. I have been eating really good and workouts right on spot.
So let's get to it.

Woke up this morning and did my turbo fire workout.  My workout buddies did not make it today so I worked out on my own. I decided to do fire 25. Really fast paste but great. Love when I have sweat running down my face like crazy. After I got my turbo fire workout done I am now added to this group challenge and today the workout was 2 minutes od dive bomber push ups. I had no idea what those were so I had to youtube it. The other challenge was 30 crunches(right, center, left) 90 total. there was also 50 squats and the last one was run in place for 2 min with high knees. I also have my own personal challenge for this month which is 50 squats everyday and 40 lunges, 20 on each leg. I also do some leg workouts to give my but a lift. I am also doing burpees with a friend. Today was 30 burpees. Alot but worth it.





So today for breakfast I had some oats. I have come to discover that oats does not have to be bland and always boring. I did 1/3 cup oats uncooked. I did 1/3 because when it cooks it usually turns out to be more than you measured so i lower it by doing a 1/3. I added 2/3 cups water and placed in the microwave for 1:40. When my oats was done, I added some wheat germ, cinnamon, honey and some flaxseed. I just add in how ever much i liked. For lunch I had a basic salad with cherry tomatoes and cucumber and some balsamic vingerette. I also had some more oats around one because my salad was not much. For dinner i had two cooked plantains, some sauteed mushrooms and onions which I seasoned with salt, garlic powder,black pepper and some season salt. I had some baked tofu with that which i seasoned with the same ingredients above and an avocado. So that was my day and i might have some hot coco tonight.

I am trying to download the pics but it's not happening tonight so ill try again tomorrow

I am also doing a challenge group which included 20 push ups, 20 bicycles( 20 forward and 20 reverse) 1 minute plank and toda I had to do 25 burpees.I also did 50 squats and 20 lunges on each leg.

After I worked out I had a salad. I included in my salad, 7 cherry tomatoes which I cut them all in half, I added a handful of lettuce and I also added half a cucumber. To add flavour to my salad I also included a little bit of parsley. To be exact a tablespoon of parsley, a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of black pepper. I added  2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegrette to my salad to enhance the flavour.

Here are my 3 meals or should i say the stuff i ate today. Not the best looking but very yummy..





For a snack I had an oven fried zucchini and two mushrooms. I also had a banana and a peach. I just sliced the zucchini and seasoned the zucchini and mushrooms with a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of black pepper and a tablespoon of olive oil.

For dinner I cooked 2 plantains. Just boiled it on the stove top until they were cooked. I sauteed about 6 mushrooms, some tofu and half an onion together in some olive oil and seasoned with a teaspoon of black pepper, a teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoon season salt and 2 teaspoons of  garlic powder.  Also had an avocado. Seems like alot but it was not alot. That was my meals for the day.
