Strong to the finish cause' I eats me spinach.

Good morning! I hope you all had a great Thursday. It's Friday and Memorial Day weekend! I am sure there are a few BBQ's on the horizon. I love a good BBQ! I do indulge once in awhile. 

Yesterday. Food. For breakfast I had Fage 0% greek yogurt and dumped some peanut butter in there (tons of protein!!)  and had a banana. Of course I had coffee too. At work I had green tea and tons of water as always. I had one called "Zen Tazo" which has lemongrass and spearmint in it. Lovely. I also munched on almonds. For lunch, I had spring mix salad as I've been doing spinach a lot. I went meatless for it and used chick peas and kidney beans for my protein. Covered in bell pepper, cucs and shredded carrots as always and the sesame/ginger dressing. So good!! So satisfying and gives me great energy and no crashing later. 

I munched on almonds for most of the afternoon at work. I am somewhat addicted to the different flavored ones. I do the raw, unsalted as well especially for almond butter but I do like the spices too for a change. The Habanero BBQ ones are to die for!!!! And the Jalapeno. Honey Dijon is good too! But by the time I got home I wasn't hungry for dinner, which is fine. I drank a lot of water all day and getting off at 6, home about 7.....it's OK to not eat a huge dinner. :) 

For a simple "recipe" for health/fitness/happy success....try to eat more vegetables, drink more water and green tea, get more sleep and try to work out for 30-45 minutes a day. And keep a positive attitude. If you do this, I imagine you'll feel a hell of a lot better pretty fast. There are more things you can do obviously but sometimes just starting out, the simpler you keep it the better. Who needs things complicated?? 

If eating processed food, especially fast food wasn't already disturbing enough...read this. Food for thought! ;) http://www.theonion.com/articles/man-eating-mcchicken-sandwich-can-tell-mcdonalds-s,32553/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=SocialMarketing&utm_campaign=standard-post%3Aheadline%3Adefault

Instead of eating that, go make a huge salad full of dark leafy greens. Look at this. Badass spinach!!! Get your Chloraphyll!! If you do this for lunch every day with various toppings and dressings, think of the good you're doing. Such simple changes to make a huge difference in your health and how you feel. If you pile on the chick peas and kidney beans you get protein and great fiber. This will satisfy you for so long. 

That's all she wrote today. Have a lovely Friday everyone!! 

Enjoy some Led Zep on your way out da door! :D I know I feel great after listening to it! Wooweeee! ;)
