Cook. Eat. Repeat.

One of my girlfriends came to stay with me for an extended weekend and she made a comment about my so called “healthy lifestyle” that hit home. She said: “All of you guys trying to loose weight don’t even make this shit look appealing. It just looks like a lot of painful work”. She was right it seemed like someone had a gun to my head stopping me from enjoying this journey. 

But her comment lit a fire under me and I have since been scouring the internet and bookstores looking for meals that make this so called lifestyle sexy. The biggest thing I could take away was: cook, eat, repeat… 

That is to say find meals you like that are both healthy and delicious and make them staples and with time you will learn how to jazz it up without adding calories. Below is a sample of a day of easy meals that are my staples.

• Once a week I bake my proteins and leave them in the fridge for easy microwaving 
• First things first within an hour of waking up somewhere between 5:30 am and 6:30 am, I drink 32 oz. of room temperature water first thing in the morning even before I brush my teeth
• I prep my water overnight with the fruits in it. The longer it sits the more delicious it tastes. So I usually have it sit all day and all night.

For Breakfast: 

• Egg White Fritatas with tons of Vegetables, chicken sausage plus 1 strip of turkey bacon

Around 9 a.m. 

Old fashion Oatmeal with flax seed and almond or coconut milk plus 8 oz. glass of water

Sometimes I switch it up, I’ll have the oatmeal at 6 am and the Fritatas with Chicken Sausage later at 9am

At Noon:

More Vegetable with Salmon plus 8 oz. glass of water

3 p.m. I have 8 oz. glass of water plus 1 oz of Wonderful Almonds they are already pre-packed its easy to grab and go

Between 3 pm and 6 pm I hit the gym/tracks as hard as my body will allow 

6 p.m. My final meal of the day 

1 medium sweet potato with either fish or beef and more vegetables plus 8 oz. glass of water

THAT IS ALL FOLKS... 

I will be posting some healthy & delicious recipes that I have been trying soon
