Portion Control Commitment!

I thought I had meal portions down but come to find out I have failed!  My favorite chipotle chicken salad = 3 meals!  During my first Journey, I would have this every weekend after my workouts.  No wonder I was not losing weight!!!  Thanks Maia for pointing this out!

 

For this week, my Nuwave oven arrives……yay!!!.....I don’t cook.  My sister cooks for my husband, me, and my daughter.  Vietnamese food can be very fattening.  So this oven is going to help me prepare healthier meals.  Today, I prepared my first set of meals (dinner) for the week:  blackened chicken (gluten free) with bell peppers.  It was so simple!  Just marinate the chickens and grill them in the oven for 10 minutes!  It couldn’t get any easier than this!  For lunches, I will have greenberry shakeology with fruits.  I usually put in one small banana or strawberries.  I think if I follow this plan then I will likely to achieve my weigh loss goal, not to mention portion control!  LOL.

Another issue I have is my coffee habit.  I love half&half!...LOL….after talking to my coach Ashley, I went out to get Blue Diamond Breeze almond milk&coconut milk per her recommendation.  I will try this with my coffee instead.  I love coconut and almond, so I think this will help me.

As for workouts, my body has come a long way.  Before the WORX today, I walked for 3 miles, then work out at the WORX (oh-yeah!!!)……I felt great!  So definitely my stamina has increased so I need to keep this up.  Maia definitely worked our butts off today!

Before Journey 1 ended, I was hesitant to join this Journey.  Now, I am so glad that I joined.  If anyone asks me, I would recommend it.  During my first Journey, it was getting used to the workouts (my body was so sore!), getting used to the new nutrition plan….learning healthy eating habits (which I am still struggling!).  For me, these were too many changes at the same.  Now that my body is used to the workouts, I can concentrate on my eating habits. 


A big thank you to Ashley for being such a great coach! 

I am so greatful that I have the WORX behind me for this Journey.  Everyone is so supportive. 

I coudn't ask for a better gym!!! 
So on to week #3!
