Happy New Year Everyone!

We finally made it to 2021 and I wanted to make sure to start the year off right. I’ve been out for awhile and I’ve had a lot of ups and downs, and like most of you during this pandemic my weight has gone up and my hair has grown longer! But now with this new year, it’s finally time to gather momentum and keep at it despite all the curveballs being thrown our way. Right?

So to begin here was my first breakfast of 2021!

Thin Bagel Breakfast-
*2/3 cup Egg whites with veggies (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes)
*2 slices of thin bacon from HEB
*bananas & berries sprinkled with chia seeds, flax seeds, and ceylon cinnamon
*Susalia chips with 8 crispy rounds
*thin bagel with avocado
*coffee with 2 teaspoons of creamer

 

Do you recognize some of the foods? This breakfast features some of tried and true favorite foods. One of my favorite tricks I do is I use lots of small plates to make it seem like I have more volume of food. That way I don’t feel like I’m depriving myself or dieting.

And don’t forget my favorite Vitatops! That’s the dessert to my breakfast. LOL Click the pic to use my link and use my code to get 25% off your first order. 

Lunch

LOL Made you look! Thanks to my oversized, delicious breakfast, I don’t eat a lunch as y’all know. If I do tend to get hungry I’ll reach for some fruit or some crunchy veggies. Today I wasn’t feeling hungry at all until dinnertime.

Here’s my first dinner of 2021:

6 oz of Kirkland’s Organic Chicken Breasts
Steamed Broccoli
3/4 cup of Brown Rice with chicken gravy.

All the food nutritional info can be found on my Food Directory tab of my blog. I’ll be updating it soon with the foods I will be eating.

And finally my snack:

Some pistachios.

I also made sure to get in 10,000 steps and get that water intake in as well.

Getting enough sleep is also very important so I made sure to get in lots of Zzzz’s!

New things coming:
It seems like everyday there is a new or different diet around the corner that makes it impossible to keep up with what each person is looking for to count or track. So, I’ll be showcasing what I’m cooking/eating and then showing you the nutritional facts so you can figure out your own calories/points/carbs/macros whatever it is that you need to figure out with whatever plan you’re following. Hope this helps everyone.

Thanks again for sticking it out with me and being so patient. I totally missed you all and I’m so glad we’re still in this together. Okay, so how did your first day in 2021 go?
