Week 7: P90X3 progress update

Snacks for the week

Okay, I will admit. I was horrible this week. Didn’t perform my workouts as hard as I wanted and my eating was good about 50% of the week. That is okay. I am human. I will make mistakes. I have learned that if I eat unhealthy, my body definitely lets me know.

Lady A Concert

Friday: Incinerator

Saturday: CVX

Sunday: Rest Or Dynamix

Cookies my nephews mailed to me for Valentine's day

Needless to say, I only did half my weeks workout. My husband was gone the first part of the week and I was doing AMAZING until Wednesday night came when I was in the middle of my workout and I burned my hand when I was trying to multi-task with cooking dinner. My double day workout turned into a 10 minute workout and a burnt left hand.

Thursday night, I went to the Lady Antebellum concert with my friends. Indulged in some popcorn I have been CRAVING and also a few beers.

Friday, Ahhh the day of LOVE. The sweets got the best of me. We went out to dinner; steak, asparagus, and mashed potatoes and topped the night off with a cookie my nephews gave me and chocolate covered strawberries.  Spent the evening with my hubby and it was amazing. I truly believe that you shouldn’t spent one day loving people, you should spend every day, but it’s fun to indulge on a HOLIDAY.

I have also decided I think I am going to do another ½ marathon this October. Rock N Roll Half Marathon!!! My sister and I did our very first one in April of 2013 and it was a great memory, so were going to do another one together this year.

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this is the end of BLOCK 2. I can’t believe that I only have a few weeks left of P90X3.   Week 8 is our transition week and then onto BLOCK 3. I can’t wait to see what next week brings. I am bringing 100% toi the table.

 

 

 

Chat with ya next week friends.

Clean Eating Snack Ideas

Here are some snack ideas that I absolutely love. These are quick and easy snacks where you can prep them for the entire week.

1. Banana Roll up: 1 banana sliced, 1 tbsp all natural PB (ingredients should say peanuts and salt) and a whole wheat tortilla. Slap it all together and roll it up! This is my favorite!

2.1/2 cup cottage cheese and berries

3.1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (not the kind with fruit in it) and cupped handful of fruit, 1 tbsp slivered almonds and a dab of agave nectar.

4.20 grapes and a low fat cheese stick

5.2 plain rice cakes (no salt) with 1 tbsp all natural PB or almond butter and a handful of raisins

6.2 cupped handfuls of raw veggies like carrots, cucumbers and celery and 1 tbsp of low fat hummus.

7.1 scoop protein powder with 10 oz water, ice and frozen berries blended for a smoothie! It's ok to drink your shakeology for a meal or snack and also have a protein shake. Your shakeology is your meal replacement and a protein shake is just a snack. They both promote muscle repair and growth!

8.Cupped handful of Strawberries and a handful of unsalted raw cashews

9.Apple and handful of raw unsalted almonds

10.Apple and 1 tbsp of almond butter

11. 5 egg whites with salsa and a sprinkle of feta cheese

12.Shakeology

13. 1 bag of edamame
I hope you find this helpful in your quest to start eating healthy and preparing your snacks!
