12 pm

5pm MY FIRST TIME AT CHIPOTLE!!!! I shared this with Junior so I had about half, maybe a little less than half of it. It was sooooo good but I was still hungry haha

730pm - I didn't really like this I just ate the 4-5 chicken pieces (smh) and threw out the rest

That was my week!!! Looking back: I think I made healthier choices this week but I think at times I wasn't eating enough. Especially since I started going to the gym this week, it is very important for me to properly fuel my body. I'm going to try to keep to an eating schedule in the future. I did better this last week but there were still days where my eating times got a little cooky and that messed up my breakfast - lunch - snack - dinner flow. 

Again I was so hungry during the night since I do stay up late. I'm going to stock up on more fruits so that if I'm very hungry around 9pm or even 10pm I can grab an apple or some strawberries, etc. I know you're "not supposed" to eat after 7pm but I do not want to be toooo strict and set myself up for failure. I want to ease into a HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE, not just an immediate diet to lose weight. I think that having more fruits handy as late night snacks will help me calm my hunger at night and won't be too damaging to my hard work during the day. Hey, it's always better than a big piece of chocolate cake. 

Let me know if this helped anyone. How are you girls doing with your personal goals? As always, wishing u the best of luck and sending lots of love!

Food Diary - Get Fit With Me in 2013 series!!

Hey babes!!

As promised on my YouTube channel, I'm focusing a series of videos on getting in shape and staying healthy! To accompany that I decided to start keeping a daily food diary and, of course, sharing it with you all. I have pictures ans a description of everything I ate last week from Tuesday to Sunday.

I hope you guys like this sneak peak into what I'm eating. It's a great way to look back at the end of the week and see where you can make changes. I'll include what personal changes or tweaks I want to make in my diet after the pics. I also had my period last week -blahhh- so, I'm sure you ladies know how hard it can be to keep to a healthy lifestyle during that week of the month. There were moments when all I wanted was some darn chocolate and forget about being fit! I tried to control myself as much as possible but there is always room to improve.

Let me know if you like this idea. Also, feel free to join me in weekly food diaries. If you don't want to or don't have the time to write down everything you eat you can always just snap a quick picture, like I did. I saved this pics in a "food diary" album on my phone so I can easily look back at the end of the week and see all my meals in pictures. This actually helps to see if your portions are too small/big/just right.

Check out my latest video in this series that talks about how I lost my pregnancy weight. Also, don't forget if you need cute, high-quality work out clothes you can get 20% off your order from PV Body by using my link http://www.pvbody.com/try/missbarbiebaby



Without further ado, here is my first food diary:

TUESDAY JAN 8, 2013

Skipped Breakfast

12 noon - Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad (I bought the container in my local supermarket, it came with all the chicken, cheese and croutons to add in) I also added in one tomato

Fresh juice made with magic bullet - about 5 strawberry, 1 banana and some orange juice

330pm snack - Toasted whole wheat bagel thin with reduced fat cream cheese

6pm Dinner - Baked Salmon and asparagus with sauteed spinach and mushrooms

Throughout the day I had 2 of these bottles of water

9pm snack - honey nut cheerios with low fat 1% milk

WEDNESDAY JAN 9, 2012

9am breakfast - thin bagel with cream cheese (like yesterday)

fresh juice same as yesterday but I also added some "Naked Juice" in berry flavor

3pm lunch - Grilled Chicken Cesar Salad added a tomato

7pm dinner - Steak, sautee spinach and mushrooms, baked asparagus and some mashed potatoes

11pm snack - honey nut cheerios with low fat milk

THURSDAY JANUARY 10, 2012

930am breakfast - Fresh juice (strawberry, banana, orange juice and naked juice berry flavor)

130 lunch 

6pm dinner - leftovers (same as yesterday minus the asparagus that was all gone)

FRIDAY JANUARY 11, 2013

10am breakfast - banana and baby food (yes I like some baby food lol don't judge me, there the perfect already made snack for when I'm a little hungry but too lazy to make/prepare anything)

1130am Brunch? - 2 scrambles eggs, 2 whole wheat toast with low fat cream cheese, chocolate milk

3pm snack - fresh juice (1 banana, 1 bag of apple slices, orange juice, naked juice berry flavor)

7pm dinner - pork chops in a spicy guacamole marinate, brown rice, baked asparagus zucchini and onions

SATURDAY JAN 12, 2013

1:30pm breakfast - 2 whole wheat toast with low fat cream cheese and fresh juice (2 banana, 2 bags of apple slices, some oj and some naked juice berry flavor)

4pm lunch - I only ate about half of this.. the fish tasted very mushy and not well done it wasn't really all that good

4pm lunch cont. - the lean cuisine was a fail so I went to my trusty no prep time snack, baby food lol

11pm Went out to Altus for drinks and appetizers. Aove is the "Altusini" drink and below some calamari

SUNDAY JAN 13, 2012

1030 am breakfast - I wanted some chocolate sooo bad! So chocolate milk!

1pm - another fail, ate about half of this, it was kind of yucky

Fresh juice - same as yesterday

Later on I had some Wendy's (Jr cheeseburger and small fries), a little bit of cotton candy at Disney on Ice show but I'm not a big fan so I really just had a tiny bit, and brie cheese (so fattening) on tasted italian bread at like 8pm .. terrible, Sunday was totally my cheat day I did the worse this day.

Overall I see a lot of places I can improve. This week I want to really try harder to drink MORE WATER. At least 1 bottle of water a day is my goal. I also have to stop skipping breakfast and try to either have dinner earlier or cut out my after dinner snacks. I'm going to try to not eat at all after 8pm this week. It's hard to keep a schedule with my food because I have days that I don't wake up until 11am and I don't get to bed until 4am and I get hungry. It's especially hard if I have to work one night or if I go out to party because then I really work up an appetite but I'm going to try and keep healthier snacks for times like that. Also for this week I want to stay more disciplined and cut down my cheats to just one day of the week. Eventually I want to cut down my cheats to just ONE MEAL a week, but we'll work our way there.

Let me know if you guys want me to include what I do for exercise along with my weekly food diary in the future. Have a very happy monday and a great week everyone!!!

Love you! xoxox

Get Fit With Me in 2013!

Happy New Yearrrrrrr!!!

Okay guys, holidays are over and so are the excuses. Spring is quickly approaching (I hope!) and it's time to get back in shape. I decided to start a health and fitness mini-series on my channel so that we can help motivate each other and get fit together!!

To kick off the mini-series I, of course, had to pull fashion into it. I personally feel much more confident to go to the gym and work out if I think I look cute while I do it. Even better than just looking cute is looking cute while wearing the appropriate and functional work out gear.

I teamed up with PV Body and was able to try out my first month from them for free. I was beyond satisfied and I do plan on purchasing next month. Check out the video for all the details and info. PV Body is offering a 20% OFF Discount for anyone who joins through my link! I hope you all take advantage of this and join me on this 'get fit' journey!
