I decided to follow a trend I see a lot in the blogs I
follow – What I ate (Wednesday) Sunday!
I know it’s typically a Wednesday post, BUT my meals are a lot less
boring on the weekends, and I actually photographed them all, so that’s what
you get.
Sunday morning I woke up at 9 and my first priority was
breakfast – so I made my go-to breakfast – egg-pizza and toast. Please note, this tastes absolutely nothing
like pizza, John nicknamed it the first time he saw me make it and it
stuck… 6 egg whites, 2 whole eggs, 1 oz
cheddar cheese, sugar-free ketchup + whole wheat toast with spray butter and
jelly.
After I ate, I meal-prepped for the week, and did a couple
other random chores before heading to the gym at 11:30 to lift chest (here’s a
tip – lift chest on Sunday, or Tuesday, or any day other than Monday – you will
actually be able to find a bench – you’re welcome). I have been meaning to
start sharing some of my lifts on here so I’ll start with my bench from today –
95 for one set of 10 (warm-up set) 115 for 4 sets of 8, then I did a final set
of 95 for 10 – I clearly need to make the move back to 135 but I haven’t had my
spotter recently and after I dropped 135 on me a couple years ago I am gun shy
about doing it without a spot. But 115 just isn’t gonna cut it much longer! About 30 minutes before my lift I had a scoop of Volt.
Immediately after my workout I had 2 scoops of Muscletech’s
Platinum Whey – this is NOT my favorite flavor (their other flavors are amazing
though!) but it is all I have left until I place another order...
I got home, got ready, and John and I went on an impromptu
date to Applebee’s! I had
their new Shrimp and Broccoli Cavatappi from the under 600 calorie menu – it
was fantastic! I even made the comment
to John that I had a tough time believing it was under 600 calories because it
was so good. I highly recommend it!

After that we came home and spent the rest of the evening
laying around and watching movies – my favorite way to spend a Sunday. Ocean's 12 was on - I love the Oceans movies - and I had actually never seen this one the whole way through. I folded laundry during commercials and did a few other chores.
Around 6 I got hungry again and made another favorite meal of mine – sweet potatoes, chicken, parmesan cheese, topped with Sriracha sauce. It doesn't photograph very well, but it is delicious! Also really good with ground beef.

And to end the day, John and I went to Dairy Queen to – I got the Birthday Cake
Oreo (my second one this week!) and I am obsessed – it may be my new favorite, or at least a very close second to the Smores Blizzard.

All of this came up to just about 3000 calories – which is honestly a
little less than I was shooting for. As
you will see below, I have lost a little weight in the past 2 weeks, and even
though seeing my abs again is nice, my goal is to GAIN weight, so I need to
tweak my diet a little to compensate. I
have a tough time gaining weight, and really need to make sure I am eating
enough on a daily basis to compensate.
When dieting/training, consistency IS key, but so is knowing when
something just isn’t working, so I’ve changed a few things in my daily meal
plan and am hoping when I do my next round of progress pictures it will pay
off!
