So sore today

And I LOVE it! :) I don’t like to say I’ve started counting calories, but I’m going to start adding an estimate of each meal so I can be a little more aware. Usually I don’t care or think about it.

Food intake :

Breakfast : Kashi go lean with barely any vanilla almond milk (I ran out as soon as I started pouring) - Estimate 205 calories

Lunch : Grilled pepper jack, fried egg sandwich - Estimate 320 calories

Gym : Cardio day. 3 mile intervals; Run, jog, sprint and walked incline - Burned approximately 300 calories

Snack : Protein shake - 80 calories

Dinner : Six inch subway turkey on wheat with provolone, lettuce, pickles and onions - Estimate 450 calories

Snack : 2tbsp of ice cream - Estimate 100 calories? If half a cup is 140 calories then.. Sure.

* I really had to resist the urge to binge tonight. Oh will power..

Calories - estimate 1,155

Also, I got my ukulele today and I have a job interview with Nike soon :) Today is a good day.

Tea contains antioxidants. Antioxidants can help slow down the aging process, and help cells regenerate and repair.  Many studies suggest antioxidants also assist our bodies in preventing cancer. Tea can lower stress hormone levels. Black tea can reduce the effects of stressful events by lowering the amount of the stress hormone cortisol in the body. Tea fights cavities and reduces plaque. Compounds in tea are capable of killing or suppressing growth and acid production of cavity causing bacteria in our mouths. Tea keeps you hydrated. Every cup of tea you drink, especially low or no caffeine varieties, counts as a cup of water with the added bonus of providing antioxidants as well. Tea may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. Tea can help prevent formation of dangerous blood clots which are often the cause of strokes and heart attacks. Tea can help lower blood pressure. Drinking green tea daily can reduce your risk of hypertension by up to 50%. Tea aids your body in digestion. Tea has been used for thousands of years as an after-meal digestive aid.  It can also help relieve stomach cramps. Tea may help prevent diabetes. There is some evidence to suggest that green tea might help to lower the risk of getting Type 2 Diabetes. Tea can help beat bacteria. An Egyptian study testing the effects of green tea on antibiotics found the tea to enhance the bacteria killing effects of the drugs. Tea aids your immune defenses. A study comparing the immune activity levels of coffee drinkers vs. tea drinkers found the tea drinkers to have levels up to five times higher.

Somehow I magically woke up this morning at 6am wide awake. It’s Saturday.. I wanted to sleep in, but instead I went and had one of the best workouts I’ve had in a long time. Triceps, biceps, chest, back and cardio. I don’t think I’ll even be able to lift my arms tomorrow. I’m celebrating my birthday tonight so It’s a good thing I got this workout in.

After this weekend I’m going to start planning meals in advance and making myself snack, since I hardly ever do. It’s a pain always having to take my invisalign out to eat, and brush my teeth and clean them before putting them back in. Only 4 more months to go!

I got a new dress for my bday shenanigans tonight. It’s super tight. I love my body, but I’m hoping not to bloat after dinner. You’ll be able to see every pudge. Idk. I may post a picture and let you guys tell me if I look like a cow. lol

Daily food intake :

Breakfast : Kashi cereal with vanilla almond milk

Early lunch : 1 hard boiled egg over spinach, mushrooms and artichoke with a big cup of green tea

Snack : Chips, cheese dip and Dos Equis with my mum for Cinco de Mayo

Dinner : Sushi

+ lots of birthday drinks! Suck it!!
