What an average day looks like right now.....

So many times people ask me what I eat, in an average day.....for a snack.  Recently a client asked me, and I thought......hmmmmmm, most people probably wouldn't want to eat the way I'm eating now because I'm getting ready for a photo shoot, which means I'm eating super clean.

Right now I'm making tons of trips to the grocery store because I like to keep tons of fresh fish and produce in the fridge, okay well maybe not tons, but I go through produce quickly!  Right now I am keeping the fridge (and freezer) sticked with: baby spinach, summer squash, zucchini, tomatoes, yellow, orange and red peppers, onions, sweet potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, avocados, blueberries, strawberries, grapefruit, chicken breast, cod, tilapia, salmon, eggs, eggs whites, lemons and limes, salsa, kale and winter squash.  In my cabinet my go-to items right now are olive oil, balsamic vinegar, protein powder and a touch of soy sauce.  I always cut dairy about two weeks before a photo shoot because I am sensitive to it, but when I'm not getting ready for something, I often have a greek yogurt or a sprinkle of cheese on my omelette.

I'm drinking a ton of water per day with lime squeezed in, black coffee, taking a calcium supplement, multivitamin and fish oil.  This is a pretty strict list of foods I'm eating, but I still enjoy it!  Here's a recipe for a super healthy salad I like to have when I'm leaning up:

Baby spinach
handful of strawberries
half an avocado
4-5 ounces of chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt on top....so good!

Hope you are having a great day!

Staying focused.......

I bought my first pair of sneakers in a long time because I have been making sooooo many trips to the grocery store.....and I love them!  Converse are so cute!


Two weeks till my photo shoot!  I've been drinking tons of water, planning out my meals.....and making daily trips to the grocery store so that I can be sure to have tons of fresh produce and fish.  When I'm staying on a tighter eating plan, I always make sure to have lots of healthy options around so that I won't slip, and eat something I wasn't supposed to just because I didn't plan well.  My friend at the gym, who is motivational to me said yesterday: failure to plan, is planning to fail.  I love that!  As I write this, I am preparing all of my meals for the day, even dinner.  For breakfast I had a bowl of steel cut oatmeal with strawberries on top and an omelette made with 1 whole egg and five egg whites and black coffee:)  The funny thing is, when I'm being especially strict with my diet (now) and excluding all processed foods, I feel the best!  My energy is high, and my stomach is flat!  Also in reality all of my cooking for the day takes under forty-five minutes, not that bad when you think about it.  Have a great day everyone!
