Today’s breakfast smoothie, simply named “Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie” consisted of the following ingredients which made a really flavorful breakfast.

I’m a huge fan of Omelets. Egg Whites are my favorite and when I’m eating at home I get them from Costco in bulk, it’s quick and easy. Today’s omelet creation consisted of the following:

If you travel often, it can be difficult to find decent food options in the airport. Today, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a fresh salad bar with a huge variety of options at Terminal D in LaGuardia.
Last week when I was passing through the same airport via the Southwest terminal and I found a Gluten Free wrap at the Cibo express, today I found the salad bar. Airport score!
My lunch today consisted of Spinach, Grilled Chicken (tasted really good), Olives, Hard Boiled Egg, Cherry Tomato’s, a little feta cheese and a VERY small amount of Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette with a Red Delicious apple.
Uh oh! The box is almost empty… Love these bars, www.risebar.com
Taking the right steps to get fit are easy, if you look in the right places and get creative. It’s as easy as 1-2-3. When my friends or colleagues see me and it’s been a few months or I meet someone new, I share my story and I always get the question “what is your trick” or “how did you do it” or “did you have surgery”.
The answer is simple and I’ll break it down into three categories that I feel are important. If you find that you are struggling in the first or second category you will struggle, this journey takes serious motivation and self will power. BUT, it in the long run its worth it.
I spent the majority of last week in Buffalo and Rochester, NY with my team which meant I was eating three meals a day “out”. I managed to keep my meals pretty standard and the patience was worth the wait. I managed to drop 3 pounds and drop by body fat by 1.5% as well, I’m not at 192.5 pounds and 19% body fat.
When I’m on the road my breakfast consists of Oatmeal & eggwhites from The Bistro, I try to stay at Courtyards because they are consistent.
Lunch consisted of Grilled Chicken Breasts with a steamed vegetable. If the restaurant doesn’t have grilled chicken on the menu I’ll request it, Salmon or Steak is my fallback.
Dinner
Much like lunch my dinner consisted of either Chicken or Steak, side salad with no croutons, cheese or bacon, ranch on the side and a steamed vegetable.
I eat Rise Bars either Honey Almond or Carob Chocolate.
In addition to keeping my food under control and maintaining around 2000-2100 calories a day I ran out of my GNC Multi-vitamin and decided to take a different route for the next 45 days. I’ll post on that change soon..
I recently completed a round of p90X and here are the results.. The picture on the right, my nipples were chafed from running. Hence the bandaids. 🙂
90 days of p90X
June 2013 – September 2013
I’ve talked in the past about doing Les Mills Pump and I finally got around to posting a before and after picture.
Chicken, Spinach, Quinoa, Asparagus dinner
I eat a lot of chicken when I’m at home. I generally prefer my chicken grilled, but today I decided to take a different approach since its cold and windy outside. I stopped at the grocery store and picked up some organic thin sliced chicken breasts, organic spinach, organic tomato, organic asparagus and a packet of 90 second quinoa.
There was around 1 pound of chicken breast filets in the package.
Preparation took around 5 minutes and cook time was around 15 minutes in total, below are the cooking directions.
