I was going to post this last week in a separate thread, but it works here as well.
I don't care much for cooked veggies and too lazy for fruit. This is a nice way to get your fruits in and for a "fix" if you get the munchies.
any fruit (sliced up apples, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple etc) yogurt (I use strawberry), a little heavy whip cream, cottage cheese, granola.
Whip up a batch, put some in a small tupper, freeze the rest for later.
Munchies: eat 4-5 spoon fulls. Done. Got my fruits for the day.
I eat one meal a day. Just snacked on 5 spoonfuls of coleslaw, crab salad and yogurt. In a few hours if I get the munchies again...some nuts.
I also try and get 10,000 steps in a day. I try and stretch every night before bed. I have just recently started doing a stomach routine (2 types of crunches 20 per, 30 leg lifts, a leg left for 60 sec all without rest), 3 sets of push ups 30/20/10. Since I am already on the ground for the stretching...why not spend an extra 2 min to do the stomach thingies? Roll over and knock out the push ups. I am trying to start out slow and not over down it. It is easy to do.
I will incorporate rowing next week for 25 min a day. I have a nice rowing machine that laughs at me every time I walk by
I will also start light dumbbell work.
