Breakfast or in reality mini meal 1 was 2 bananas and coffee with almond milk and stevia in it.
My second meal was a bowl of strawberries and cream oats and a large glass of water.
Then for my meal 3 I made a PB and strawberry sandwich on whole wheat bread and again another large glass of water.
For meal 4 I made a ham sandwich with a slice of cheese and mustard on an Arnold thin round and sided it with carrot sticks and cucumber rounds. I am thinking I am going to be looking for smaller plates.
Meal 5 was a peach…mmm love peaches…and serving of almonds.
Meal 6…my final meal…was a cup and a half of broccoli, half an ear of corn 2 wedges of watermelon and 3 oz grilled chicken.
Water: 80 oz.
Fruits/Veggies: 10
Steps: 13458
Exercise: 90 min walk, 50 wall push-ups, 100 sit-ups
Daily Calorie Burn: 3552

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you -- good luck this week. :=)
Next, it's VERY smart to eat mini-meals, but I'd be careful about what you're eating at each meal. 1/2 of a banana (which is the starchiest/fattiest fruit) is a serving size for one adult. I think for nut butters, the serving size is 1 TB. And, I would add more salads/greens/veggies through out the day; a salad serving should be about 2 cups and any of your other veggies should be around 1 cup.
;) Just passing along info from Dr. Renna . . .she'll be giving you the same info in a week or two if you WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Rachel!
Hmm ok, 1/2 banana...not 2 and then I will add something else with it, because 1/2 banana would NOT keep me for 30 min. let alone 2-3 hours!! LOL
More salads...gotcha
Yep PB was natural and only 1T.Good I got that one.
Wow, you're awesome. 100 sit-ups? Impressive! Also impressed with all the fruit/veggies and water consumption...all the things I'm working on, but haven't done a good job of as of late (as in since October). Looking forward to reading your posts and getting motivated myself! Good luck with Mamavation Mom - I'll check it out and vote!
Wow, your workouts are awesome. Rachel said what I was gonna say about the bananas ~ try a different fruit, something water based like grapes. Or adding more salad/veggie (raw cauliflower and broccoli are delish). Good luck with the Mamavation campaign. You know you have my support.
Count me in for a week of voting. I'm going there right now and will vote each day for you.
As an ex-personal trainer and someone who knows a little something about diet and exercise....I can tell that you are totally going to reach any goal you set for yourself. You've got that secret x factor....complete belief and full motivation. Nicely done.
Darryl
