Move over, Fat Tuesday! We are armed and dangerous!
It's Skinny Monday!
We don't need a one-thousand calorie doughnut to make us happy.
We feel the happiest when we feel skinny!
Yes or yes?
Of course, yes!
Here is a plan to keep us eating clean and feeling skinny.
First, we want to keep our daily exercise going, whatever you decided you need to do. If you do not already have a plan, you need to get one! You can visit my post: Holiday Health Maintenance Plan from November.
Next, we need a good eating plan.
So after gathering up all the info from the experts and trying them myself, I will give a few sample days of good clean-eating.
Don't forget to drink your water, too!
Monday:
Upon waking: Hot lemon water, green or herbal tea
Breakfast:
Hot oatmeal with blueberries
2-6 scrambled egg-whites
1 slice of whole-grain toast
Snack:
apple slices with 2 tsp of natural nut butter
Lunch:
large veggie salad
grilled chicken breast
drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil &
Apple cider vinegar
Snack:
veggies
hummus
Dinner:
Grilled salmon
steamed veggies
tossed salad with lemon and pepper
Snack or dessert:
Plain yogurt with a drizzle of honey
fresh or thawed frozen berries
top with a bit of granola
Optional: warm water or herbal tea before bed
Tuesday:
Upon waking: warm lemon water, herbal or green tea
Breakfast:
Oatmeal pancakes
plain yogurt with a dab of honey and fruit for topping
Snack:
1/2 cup cottage cheese with berries
Lunch:
Homemade chili
1 slice of whole-grain bread
piece of fruit
Snack:
1/4 cup almonds, seeds and raisins
Dinner:
Grilled chicken or bison
Steamed veggies
brown rice
Snack:
1/2 banana with a dab of peanut butter
If you are tempted to buy those big fat doughnuts tomorrow, just read the ingredients and the fat and calorie content and guaranteed you will pass them up!
I think a beautiful yogurt parfait in a tall stemmed glass sounds like a wonderful alternative, don't you? You can even shave a bit of dark chocolate on top!
What one expert says:
"What you eat today, walk and talks tomorrow!"

Yes!
Are we feeling skinny?

YES! ha - that question 'yes or yes' makes me miss your class:)
we have lemon in cold water every day. Is there a benefit to the warm water?

Hi Rebecca, the warm water goes right to the bowels and cleans out mucus from the day before. In otherwords, it is a great cleanser!
Thanks for your comments! We miss you in class, too. Hope your workouts are going good at home.
