Meal prep... Check!

So I got some heat from my manager today for "slacking" this weekend. I expected it and told him I was disappointed too. But since I've gotten home from school and work at 10:30pm, I've been nothing but busy. Before I started folding my laundry and cleaning my room I did meal prep for tomorrow to get back on my diet. Had i not played with my puppy or texted Hear and there, i would have had it all done in 30 minutes and not an hour. Who can resist such an adorable puppy begging?!? (pictures of my babygirl to follow). I've had a couple of people ask me what supplements I take, what they do and what my diet consists of. Most people think diet and think starvation but my diet is the exact opposite.... I am constantly eating. It's also very good for budgeting poor people like me with car payments, Rent, phone bills, credit cards and student loans to pay off. I actually eat so often that I'm not even hungry most days and sometimes forget to eat my dinner. With all the questions I get every day about my supplementing, diet and workout I've decided Ill give you the inside scoop and the methods to my madness.

Tomorrows meal-plan consists of::
+Breakfast: whole wheat Thomas muffin w/ peanut butter + hard boiled egg
+Snack: Strawberries, kind bar, Macontosh apple
+Lunch: Spinach salad with carrots, onion, tomato and chicken, light vinaigrette
+Snack: Sliced red pepper, spicy hummus and cucumber
+Dinner: Brown rice, peas/carrots mix, chicken
+Beverage: WATER, WATER, WATER! And if I get tired of the plain flavor I may squirt a little Crystal light liquid I found at target :)

As you will notice in the pictures below I've portioned everything well. The plan is to stay low with carbs and sugars, more veggies, protein and meat. As for my supplements I'm taking a few:
+ OxyElite Pro: thermogenic (by far my favorite!!!!!) it heats up your internal body temperature causing you to break a sweat and burn more calories. It's an amazing appetite suppressant and GREAT for energy and focus! I take two in the morning with food and one mid day.
+ CLA (Conjugated Linoic Acid): which breaks down body fat and puts into the blood stream as energy (which is then burnt off with exercise and a thermogenic) it boosts the fat burning process. In order for it to be effective you must take 4,000mg a day. So I take it with eat main meal but 2 with the largest one (4 total)
+ Dandelion Root & Waterex: two diuretics that maintain water balance and keep you from bloating.
+ Anatabloc: One of the top joint anti inflammatory for my knees and back -- totally taste/smell like a mix of Pepto and Vicks!!!!! They dissolve in your mouth like mints :)
+ Solotron: my chewable multivitamin... something everyone should take but especially when you're working out and burning off calories and vitamins. The essential vitamins you can't get from food so how else will you keep from being depleted? A multi! :)
+ PumpHD: is a great pre-workout with stimulants for energy (YAYYY!!!), amino acids for muscle recovery and electrolytes to keep hydrated.
+ Sweet Sweat: a topical cream to apply to areas you want to burn more calories in and sweat more (don't know if this will work... Totally experimental!)
+ Wheybolic Extreme 60: one of the best proteins I've tried -- and no I'm not just saying that because I work for GNC. It is awesome for recovery and also our lowest calorie lean protein. Low calories, high protein, low sugar and low carb, high aminos and hydrolyzed! What does all of this mean? Most proteins are about 130 calories for 20 grams of protein. This one is only 90 cal per scoop, 20g of protein, less than 1 sugar and 2 carbs! Two scoops is just enough protein. The hydrolyzed part of it is key because its the fasted absorbing type of wHey protein given faster results!

This may seem like a lot to absorb but it's all routine. I've never been a pill person or someone to take any supplements or even work out. I'm lucky I'm not 1000lbs the way I've eaten and the lack of exercise I've had since highschool but I'm finally going to start doing it write before it all catches up to me! Tomorrow is ab/leg (my fav) day and ill be sure to post my routine for those who have asked :) now it's about 12:30am and I still have some chores to finish and a cute little puppy waiting to go to sleep. With all that being said this Chica is going to kick it into high gear so I can get some sleep before my early workout.... Over and out!
