Fit for the Fourth: Day 3

So it has been a busy week. Ive spent the last three days in the books studying for my CFP. Which means I haven't had much time to get to the store and diversify my cabinets and refrigerator. I've been sticking to the basics, and the basics have become old fast. If I eat one more piece of watermelon or one more piece of peanut butter toast, I may just give in and find myself some cookies!

In an effort to make sure I didn't do such a thing on Day 3, Sue brought over a list of healthy grab-and-go snacks, and I am going to share them with you!

Healthy Grab-and-Go Snacks

• South Beach High Protein Cereal Bars
• Apple
• 3 Tbsp each raisins and dry roasted peanuts
• 1 fat free plain yogurt with 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 Clementine and 1 oz roasted almonds
• 1 granola bar and 1 cup coffee with skim milk
• celery sticks with 2 tablespoons reduced fat peanut butter
• 1/2 cup frozen yogurt with 1/4 c. sliced strawberries and 1 tbs chocolate sauce

Today was a little more difficult to stick to a good diet. But here is what I pulled off:

Meal 1 : A low-fat Sunrise Sunset Smoothie from Tropical Smoothie in Winter Park (One of my favorites)

Meal 2: One slice of whole wheat toast with Peanut Butter and 1/2 cup grapes

Meal 3: 6 oz Turkey and 2 slices American Cheese

Meal 4: 6 Triscuit Crackers with Low-fat Cheese slices

Meal 5: 8 oz chicken and 1/2 cup watermelon

Meal 6: Chocolate Milk is happening soon!

I also fit in a 1 mile run and 1 mile of sprints. I don't recommend sprints in Florida at 2 in the afternoon. It's HOT!

Looking forward to Day 4! I better start seeing some results!! How are you guys doing? It's never to late to start being healthy. Tomorrow you will wish you had started today. Start now!
