Countdown to Costa Rica

I have started a countdown to Costa Rica, I'm trying to be in bikini body shape for that trip.

This is my attempt to be held accountable!

21 days

Food Diary

Breakfast (9AM):
  • 1 cup chai (my absolute must-have, you do not want to talk to me before I've had some sort of caffeine in my system)
  • 1 egg white with 1/2 whole wheat mini bagel

Tip: Every morning, I make a jug of Sassy Water, which is a recipe in Prevention's Flat Abs journal. It helps me monitor how much water I drink a day, and it tastes so good!


Sassy Water Recipe:
1 jug water
1 lemon, squeezed
1/4 inch of ginger, grated
a few stalks of dried mint

Mix together and refrigerate

Snack (1PM):

Yummy Strawberry Smoothie

Recipe:

4-5 frozen strawberries, or small handful frozen berries
1/3 cup ice
2/3 cup fat-free milk
1/3 scoop protein powder
pinch of flax seed

Place all in the blender and blend. Enjoy! (When I feel like I havent had enough vegetables, I blend a few spinach leaves with the whole mixture ~ thanks for the tip marz!)

Lunch (3PM):

Lean Turkey Burger on 1 slice of Rye Bread, with mustard and light mayonnaise

Dinner (7PM):

Salad
Lean Turkey Burger on 1/2 whole wheat mini burger
Glass of Skim Milk
1 reduced fat oreo


Exercise:

I spent a half hour this morning teaching my parents how to stretch and work on their abs. Got a teeny bit of exercise in from there. I've been feeling horrible about not exercising this weekend, bottle service and martinis tend to trash my desire for any strenuous activities. So, being the glutton for punishment that I am, I'm doing one of the Beach Body Insanity workouts. Please say a little prayer for me :)
