What I Ate Wednesday!
I used to do these posts all the time when my blog was mostly fitness centered and I would love to bring them back. People ask me ALL the time what I eat. I have found over the years of my health/fitness journey that the hardest thing for people to understand is nutrtion. I try to keep it pretty simple. I try to eat pretty "clean" but also balanced!
Keep in mind I am still a breastfeeding mama. My goals when it comes to nutrition is to fuel my body for my workouts, breastfeeding and my day as a busy mom.
Meal #1- Meal replacement shake. I am in love with the ease and convenience these shakes bring to my life! These shakes are about as clean as it gets. It's like blending up chicken, sweet potatoes, veggies and healthy fats but in shake form. Nothing artificial either! ummm yes, please!! A full meal: 240 calories and a balance of healthy fats and carbs. I feel satisfied for hours after chugging down one of these. This is often my breakfast and lunch. I am busy and NEED convenience in my life but also great nutrition. I am so thankful for this tool.
Meal #2- Sausage, fried cage free egg, arugula and watermelon.
Meal #3- 2% greek yogurt, a couple sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of Annie's Organic frosted flake cereal (also a favorite of Noah's)
Meal#4- Shake post workout
Meal #5- Tostadas! I used the baked tostadas, shredded chicken in the instant pot and Mrs. Dash taco seasoning. I layered fat free refried beans with green chiles and chicken topped with a mixture of tomatoes corn and black beans and cheese! So good!
Super simple. Minimal cooking and meal prep. You don't have to spend hours in the kitchen to eat well! My meals vary from day to day because I am all about intuitive eating, but I do like to get in plenty of protein! I hope this gave you some ideas!!

Carb Cycling
Yesterday at my work out I talked with Rachael about how Robbie and I are officially doing engagement pics next Tueday! I am soo excited! I have been putting them off for almost 2 years now because I was never happy with the way I looked so now I am excited/nervous.
We talked about how I feel that my upper body is thinning out nicely as well as my face so the pics with my dresses on I am not worried about, but we are changing our clothes 3 times and for one outfit I will be in jeans. I am feeling great in my jeans lately but not 100% because, ladies, you know how it is when you have hips and a little extra on the sides that hangs over! Ugh! I hate it! That is probably the last area for me that will go. I feel my lower abs are even OK it's just the "love handle" area I am nervous about.
Rachael said a lot of women hang on to water in that area, which makes sense, and that I could start CARB cylcling to help get rid of that water. I have never carb cycled before so I am a little nervous but also excited because it's only until Tuesday that I have to do it. My carbs will consist of oats at breakfast and sweet potatoes at lunch and that's it. I will be drinking tons of water to help flush everything out.
I have already texted her asking a 100 questions! So glad I have her : )
Has anyone else ever carb cycled? Any advice?!
