Staying Strong

I managed to get through the weekend without falling off the band wagon of this clean eating!!

AND we finally found Coconut Oil!  They have it at Meijer.  There are a million uses for this stuff, not to mention it tastes great in stir fries, smoothies, and other things you would normally use olive oil for.  There are many sites that give you information on the many uses but here is a good one that I found -

Benefits of Coconut Oil

This morning for breakfast I had oatmeal with Flax seed, walnuts, a little bit of coconut oil, coconut milk and natural peanut butter.

For a morning snack I had greek yogurt with all natural granola in it.

For lunch - Spinach salad with - cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs, sunflower seeds, carrots and olive oil drizzled over the top.  I find that this really fills me up!!  Also had some fresh fruit of strawberries, muskmelon, and pineapple.

My afternoon snack was a string cheese.

Dinner was leftovers of turkey stuffed green peppers and a side of Basmati Rice Medley which we got at Trader Joe's - Ingredients: Indian Basmati Rice, Wild Rice, Dehydrated Carrots, Onions, Celery, Red Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, Parsley, Garlic. Lemon peel.  It was delicious!!!

For exercise today I walked 3 miles at lunch - and then went to the gym and lifted weights.  

All in all a great day!!!
