Day 3

Weigh in: 117.8 lbs

Another day, another dollar! I woke up at 5:30am today – this is when my body decided to get up. Just so you’re all aware – I don’t ever set up alarms. My body just naturally wakes up around 530/6am. My boyfriend on the other hand sets up his alarm every day. It’s nice to have that sometimes (in case I oversleep) but today I woke up 30 minutes earlier than my boyfriend’s alarm. Therefore, I slept a solid 5.5 hours which I’m not very happy with. But if my body said it’s time to get up, well, I guess it was time to get up!

Meal 1

10 g of Whey with water

I’m usually supposed to have 20g of whey but of course I ran out of Whey protein today. I went to the gym for a solid 35 minutes to do some quasi-fasted cardio on the elliptical.

I got home, showered and started getting ready for work while my amazing boyfriend made my breakfast. (Side note: my boyfriend is truly one of a kind and I swear I am the luckiest girl in the world. You’ll notice I talk about him a lot. #sorrynotsorry )

Meal 2

7.5 tbsp of EggBeaters

3 oz of cucumbers

1 whole wheat toast

10 almonds

Meal 3

It’s so hard eating at work especially before everyone goes on their lunch break, but it’s gotta get done if I want to stick with the nutrient timing!

2 oz of chicken

3 oz of Brussels sprouts

2.7 oz of sweet potatoes

15 g of cashews

Meal 4

Just got home from work and I thought it was gym time (lifting session) but my boyfriend had to get a small procedure done so I’m waiting for him to get out! Ergo, time to have meal 4!

2 oz of turkey sausage link

1 piece of whole wheat toast

1 cup of baby spinach

15 g of cashews

Lifting session done – again, I still don’t have any whey so I didn’t consume the whey and intra workout. I’m trying very hard to stay on the template, but so far as you can see I’m about 95% compliant.

Meal 5

The best meal is always the one that follows a workout. Extra carbs = loads of happiness.

3 oz. of chicken

2 oz. of broccoli

0.5 cup of baby spinach

Notice, no carbs or fats. Because.. wait for it! The best part of tonight was: the oatmeal raisin cookie ice cream sandwich! I’m counting my double post workout carb as my cookies and my fats as the soft serve. That’s quite alright, right? 🤫

9:45pm now, it’s time to go to bed! Another full day at work tomorrow but at least tomorrow is a rest day! The only sad part of tomorrow is I get very little carbs. 😭
