First off, have you seen the previews for Magic Mike?  Holy mama!

Channing Tatum is just divine!  Even if some of his movies are “just ok”, I still spend the $16 dollar to go see them.  I love him!

Ok, I’m stepping off of that cloud and back down to reality.  So yesterday was my first day in Phase 3 of the Body Revolution program.  For breakfast I had Trader Joe’s steel cut oatmeal with strawberries and blueberries, along with a cup of coffee and a few glasses of water.

I had to switch up my lunch yesterday, as I didn’t make lentils on Sunday night, but my salad with tuna and a homemade vinaigrette was a fantastic midday meal.  For a snack I had an apple, cheese stick, and a Blueberry Cobbler Flavor and Fiber bar.  As I was going to be taking on Workout 9 yesterday after work, I knew I had to eat a snack late.  The protein and fiber from my snacks were perfect pre-workout, giving me the energy I needed for the brutal workout.

Body Revolution Workout 9 is tough!  Really tough.  I felt like workout 8 was a challenge but workout 9 is IN-tense.  Although I am much stronger than I was 9 weeks ago, yesterdays workout was very challenging for me.  The great thing is, I know I’ll get better and I know that the workout will get easier in time.  I’m nervous to take on Workout 10 today but excited at the same time.

After yesterday’s workout, I continued to get my sweat on by cleaning the apartment before Neal got home.  The 7PM-8PM hour is my secret obsession… Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy anyone?  The power hour is the perfect time to dust, fold laundry, and prep dinner.

I snacked on some Crispy Asian Pears while I cooked last night’s dinner.  They were just ok… but I probably wont buy them again.

For dinner last night I made lentils (leftovers will be used for lunches this week) and fish.  The lentils were incredibly easier to make and tasted awesome!  I combined 2 cups of chicken broth with 1 cup of lentils.

To the lentils and brother I added diced chives, garlic, Mrs. Dash, salt, and pepper.

After bringing the lentils to a boil, I lowered the heat and covered the lentils cooking them for roughly 40 minutes.

Along with a side salad, last night’s dinner brought the day full circle.  The day’s food left me feeling energized, refreshed, and fulfilled… just what I needed the day before my final dress fitting!! I can’t wait to put my dress on later this morning… AHHH so exciting!  Well I hope y’all are having a fantastic week and that you’re making healthy decision one moment at a time.  Remember, they all add up!

Question of the day: What foods leave you feeling great?
