Check out these brownies! Seriously GO and do it!!
Anyway, I started my day with a trip to the gym and did a little cardio followed by some strength training. It was fun! I convinced my best friend Tam, to do it with me and she obliged and only complained a few times!!! Haha! She did great :)
So for my food--breakfast: post workout protein shake. As you can see, I never eat before I go to the gym In the am. I never have and probably never will. The only time I purposely ate before exercise is when I was running more than 15km. Oh yes, I also ate a quarter of Adelade's bagel.
I made sure to drink lots of water today.
Lunch: we had brunch at a friends so I ate a bunch of fresh fruit and 3 little chocolate chip pancakes. I am a major pancake fan....like major!! I'm sure there was egg & milk in them but I only had a few. There was bacon & eggs there that I did not eat, though it looked and smelled delicious I said no.
We came home and had to leave shortly for our church Christmas party,I knew there was going to be yummy dessert so I made of the brownies that I mentioned above. They were super easy to make and I made them in a mini muffin tin. So 2 brownies was only 140 calories of fairly fence nutrition.
Snacks: dates and a small slice of pumpkin loaf
Dinner: potatoes, stuffing & corn. I ate it from the dairy, soy, nut & gluten free table-- so I'm thinking it didn't have much animal products or any in it.
Dessert: 4 of my brownies....I know 4 seems excessive but I ate 1 when I made them. 2 after dinner as dessert and one when we came home. Plus it's still a dessert under 300 calories---what?!
It was almost 8pm when we got home and I was really wanting to try these chocolate covered Oreos our friends made us. It was literally 2 minutes to 8 when I ate one. It was super delicious, though it was too sweet & rich for my liking---so I'm not tempted to eat anymore.
I did not eat after 8pm and I'm really happy with my food choices today. I want to incorporate more veggies into my meals & snacks but overall I'm happy with how I did while eating out today.
My juicer arrived today, so I'm looking forward to more juices!!!
