Day 5 Report! (shh - let's pretend I didn't skip a day)

Food:
Meal 1: I was expecting to have to rush around because of a busy day ahead so I picked a 1 minute breakfast...but then a few of my plans for the day fell through lol oh well I had already eaten my 1 minute meal consisting of a banana and almond milk.

Meal 2: I follow about 100 fit people on Instagram and frequently see new recipes that I want to try!  I tried one from @fitfreakgeek out of Austin today and it was a total winner!  I believe she is writing a recipe e-book right now so as soon as that drops, I will provide a link to that.  The oats are Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats: http://www.bobsredmill.com/steel-cut-oats.html - I went ahead and prepared according to the package instructions which provides enough oatmeal to last several servings.  Once the oats were prepared, I added almond milk, cinnamon, chai seeds, Garden of Life RAW Protein http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/Foundational-Nutrition/RAW-Protein.aspx & a nice spoonful of almond butter *drool* I don't eat most oats because I generally follow the paleo diet but my body handles these steel cut oats pretty well.  I will work on finding an alternative to the oats...quinoa? greek yogurt?

Meal 3:  BIG MEAL! I went out to a Mexican restaurant for a birthday dinner for my in-laws & had a huge serving of tilapia that was covered in spinach, mushrooms & other veggies.  It came with a side of borracho beans, avocado & tomatoes that I ate and with rice...which I never eat anymore.   Since this meal was super-large, I kept my meal count to 4 today instead of 5.

 NO RICE!

Meal 4:  My late night snack hit the spot for both my salty & sweet cravings.  I love coconut water - I am careful to always get the unsweetened, all natural, no additives, no preservatives, with pulp variety.  Coconut water always reminds me of beach trips to El Salvador so it is a special treat for me.  The sausage was a nice way to get some last minute protein to balance out all the (good) carbs in coconut water.

Exercise:  I targeted my core tonight with most of the emphasis on abs:
Seated V Knee Ups
Scissor Kicks
Bicycles
Crunches
Reverse Crunches
Russian Twists
Supermans

I'm going to be feeling this tomorrow every time I laugh...

Sermon: No sermon today - I spent lots of my free time with my in-laws and my parents <3
