It’s Five Friday and this week was a week of challenges from all over. Recovering from a brief knee injury, to work demands to trying not to gain too much weight since I am sidelined and not working out as intensely as I normally would. With that said I have tried my best to EAT better and DO better. It is a work in progress because I have the workout piece DOWN – it’s the diet that gives me grief.
1. I started eating pre-workout healthy snacks. Check out my apples and PB. Oooh lala it was DIVINE and really hit the spot.
2. I cut back on the vino. Every girl loves a great glass of wine including MOI but I tried not to have a glass each and every day.
3. Made this KILLER black bean taco (recipe to be featured on Meal Mondays). I am still full from it.

4. I ate a green salad at least 3 days this week which is very good for me!!! I also purchased some pre-packaged salads to try at home. One even came with pear dressing. YUMMY!
5. As normal – I hooked up the smoothies this week which continued to give me more energy and kept me fuller than normal. YES….what a WIN!
Those are my 5 Friday things.
What did you eat this week that made you say WHOA, I am doing GOOD?

Apples and peanut butter are definitely in my top 5 favorite healthy snacks! Delicious!

I also had salads several times this week. The one you mentioned with Pear dressing sounds great!

I’m doing good? I have not missed a single P90X3 workout and I’m in week 6. Boom!

That is awesome. I’ll be back as soon as this knee gets better. Keep in inspiring Jill!

I also cut back on the vino this week after over-indulging last weekend. I’m glad because it really made me feel better to not have a daily glass this week! I’m also trying to focus on salads for lunch rather than a hot lunch from the buffet in the work cafeteria.

There’s a woman in our private online fitness group on Facebook who is doin it up in the salad category. She is posting like a new salad recipe with pictures like daily. She is truly inspiring me to eat more salads.

Those tacos look great! I didn’t do too well with the health eating last week since our kitchen sink was leaking and we did a lot of take out 🙁 I’m hoping to be better this week since it’s fixed now.

I ate a ton of veggies this past week, so I’m excited about that!

Playing with the scale and checking my weight several times a week, seeing the numbers go down feels good. I know I won’t want to do this all the time but it’s a nice experiment.

I think you did great this week!! Especially being laid up with the knee!! I actually had a rough week but was still able to get in quite a few salads so I felt good about that. Hey, thanks for linking up over at Fitness Friday – If you do any kind of health post this week, feel free to link up again, I’d love to see you back!
