Bring on an extra serving of carbs!!

Day 23-28

Yea I was a slacker last week, no blog, but also no interesting recipes so you didn’t miss much.

Day 29

First day of 2 carbs. I know right, only 2 carbs?! This whole time I thought I was getting 3 but nope just 2. Justin can have 3, lucky, but not me, guess I will have to wait another 30 days for one more carb.

Here is what the new diet looks like for the next 30 days:

PROTEINS 4
DAIRY 2
FRUITS 1
VEGETABLES 2
FATS 1
CARBS 2
SNACKS 3
CONDIMENTS 1…we all know I get 2

So really the only difference is one less protein and one more carb.

Of course normal routine in the morning, protein shake with turkey bacon but now I add a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter. 1 tbsp of pb is considered part of a snack, so I thought that was doable on my bagel, and it was delicious. I should invest in some whole wheat English muffins then have myself an egg mcmuffin in the morning…mmm…that sounds good ill have that.

Actually had a normal sandwich for lunch, with a normal amount of meat, not like the ones I’ve had the past couple of weeks that just overpower the bread and fall out the sides. Just mustard, ham and cheese. Yes nothing extravagant but still delicious. Along side had 12 kettle flavored rice cakes (considered a snack). These rice cakes were deeeelicious. Sweet and crunchy, just the thing to go along with a sandwich, it did make me miss chips though. I used to put salt and vinegar chips in my sandwich, don’t knock it till you try it. I stuck my nose up at it when Justin did it for the first time, but I took a bite and never looked back. Of course had carrots to go along, I am starting to be called the carrot girl at work since I have carrots almost everyday for lunch.

For dinner we had left over turkey burgers (bunless :( for me) with turkey bacon and I heated up the V8 can to have tomato soup, Justin just shook his head.

I didnt feel like I have more energy but maybe it just takes times for your body to adapt. Well see…

Day 30

Cant believe it has been 30 days, well I guess I can since I literally count down the days till this is over. Not that I hate it, but it’s annoying to be honest. Annoying to “watch” what you eat and have to plan everything out. I am always asked “what’s after P90X” and the first thing I say is “Five guys”. Its true…

Protein shake: protein scoop, cup of fruit and cup of milk …blend…delicious

Side of turkey bacon and whole wheat bagel with pb.

For lunch I just had a ceasar salad because I was going to the Nationals game and I knew I would be drinking and eating at the ballpark.

Boy was I wrong. Note to self: don’t plan on eating healthy when going to a baseball game. Justin and I walked around the entire stadium and found 3 places with chicken sandwiches…all which were sold out. So we were left with only hotdogs, hamburgers, fries, chili, or fried chicken….we opted for a pretzel and called it a night.

One thing is for sure though; I woke up this morning with a headache and was so weak for my workout. Goes to show your body is not happy when you miss that much protein, vegetables and carbs…
