Blue Skys

Brown rice cakes, peanut butter for breakfast! Very creamy and delicious. I really enjoy variety’s of carbohydrates. Instead of bread and oats all the time its nice to mix some rice, fruit, or even some veggies for some energy.

On the way to school I looked at the sky practically the whole drive. The sky looked like a water color picture you’d see in art museums Blue with golden tints that look like lava or something. A very unique picture the sky presented with us today.

I made a chicken salad for lunch today. Very healthy and loaded with protein! I made it at Giant Eagles market districts salad bar. They have so much yummy things to add. I was tempted to add the organic tofu, but I thought that would clash with the chicken salad typo. When making a salad think “colors”, the more different colors the better the salads nutritionally for you. I added some spinach for green, onions for purple, chicken for white, carrots for orange, and mushrooms for gray.

  • Lots of Chicken
  • 2  Handful’s of spinach
  • 1/3 cup onions
  • 1/3 cup carrots
  • 1/3 cup mushrooms
  • 2tbs red wine vinegar

The calories from the salad are mostly from the chicken, which is a good thing. I like red wine vinegar on my salads because its 0 calories compared to 100-200 that salad dressing has. Its a great alternative, and tastes exactly like balsamic only a little more sour.

Pre-workout snacks a purefit bar. The bars really good because it has 18g of protein, and is 100% natural and low GI. The taste however is pretty bad in my opinion, at least the almond crunch is. Very dry texture, kinda like a powerbar performance bar, it even looks like a performance bar! . Its not the worst and not the best though, Clif builders bar better in flavor but a little higher in fat. Same protein, calorie content.

Dinner was 2 palm sized chickens, brown rice, and green beans. I didnt post a picture because I used dinner as my post-workout meal, and I was way to hungry to take pictures .

My workout I did today was really good, I made it myself! called “The Count Down” .
