Off Track and Bloated Belly

So this past weekend was on heck of a long one. I had so much homework and stuff going on I totally fell of track on eating good. So first it started with Friday I take the little girl I nanny for, Chloe, lunch. Now most time she will pick a place that I can at least get something somewhat good for me. But today all she wanted was pizza, now normal days I pack myself food for me to eat at their house, but since it was Friday I didn’t. Problem number one, I eat pizza. So no biggie right, a couple pieces of pizza won’t hurt me that bad, well I was supposed to go to the gym after work but got held up at work and didn’t have time to make it before I was supposed to meet my boyfriend for bowling. So there was problem two, I didn’t make it to the gym that night. Here comes problem three, when at the bowling alley for almost 5 hours you get hungry and when you leave you just want something quick, this is where I inserted chicken nuggets and fries from Wendy’s into my mouth, at 11:30 at night. So I ended that day on a bad note, I could just turn it around tomorrow I told myself. Are you ready for problem four? Well the following morning I started the day great had my egg white and ham omelet. Great start right, I then sat down to do some homework while my boyfriend, Matt, was running errands. By the time he got done I was hungry again and he wanted to go to the gym, yay gym time I can work off the crap I ate last night. Nope, I ended up eating crap again before we went to the gym. Again no biggie I still made it to the gym and pushed myself as hard as I could to get the most out of all the bad food I ate. Then to finish off my Saturday night we ended up getting fast food again because there was no time to make something before we had to be to his brother’s house, problem five! Now problem six, all I did on Sunday was do homework; which meant a lot of sitting.

So this past weekend wasn’t the best but I wasn’t going to let it ruin my week ahead. I had recently found this new company called AdvoCare, they have great product for people trying to lose weight, get fit, and just lead a healthy lifestyle. So I ordered myself their 10 day cleanse, telling myself this was going to be my kick start to get back on track. So I made a point to go to the grocery store after work on Friday and pick all the groceries I would need for the week ahead. In the picture to above I have all my food for dinner’s lunches and snacks. After I got all my groceries home, I meal prepped my heart out. The picture to the right is just a few of the portioned out things that I am eating for snacks this week. On top of what you see here I picked up a couple protein bars and my protein powder to drink after my work outs. I am no nutritionist or physical trainer by any means, I just read articles online about things that are good for your body and what is not good for it. Now we are all human and we have hard times so don’t get down on yourself for one bad meal or missed work out. I was a poor example of this, I let all the hustle of the busy weekend get to me and ate bad. But the best thing to do after you fail is to get right back up and on track. This week has been ten times better, I have been eating my prepped meals and staying away from that fast food. And this week on Friday I am going to come prepared if Chloe wants bad food. I hope everyone is having a great week, and killing their work outs. I just finished leg day before this, now it’s time to eat and relax, have a great week Fit Fam.
