Fitness & Nutrition on Twitter

Follow Fitness & Nutrition on twitter. They give really good tips on how to stay healthy and encourage you to keep going. I like it because their tweets are frequent-not just once or twice a day like a few other health blogs I follow. Good luck!

Behold: The Turkey Bacon Club

This is my favourite meal; the turkey bacon club from Tim Horton's. I eat it whenever I need a quick fix meal because it is healthy, cheap and tasty. It has only 400 calories, 8 grams of fat and since I always chose whole wheat bread, it has fibre. That being said, it has an unhealthy amount of sodium-almost 2000 mg! I try and balance this out by drinking only water when I eat one. Seriously. This sandwich is so good. I eat one almost every day.

Day Six, Seven & Eight: Friday - Sunday, April 29, 2012

This weekend was lovely, I went for a few runs, did a few workouts and I slept really well.

On Friday I did a total body sculpting class which is becoming my favourite class because it really burns. It puts me out for a few days but my body is starting to get used to it. Saturday and Sunday I went for a run in the forest. I had pizza for dinner on Sunday but I made it healthy with extra toppings like green peppers and mushrooms. :)

Today I tried to eat a lot less sugar and it didn't really work... By the end of the day I felt so deprived that I bought a bunch of candy at the convenience store and that was my dinner. My boyfriend has a huge influence on what I eat and I'm starting to realize that it's not a positive one. I never drank pop before we started dating and now I'm having at least a can of coke a day, I never used to buy candy or chocolate and now I do it all the time. I guess unhealthy habits sort of sneak up on you because I never even noticed that I had changed my diet so much.

Not much activity today, and I'll probably be drinking like a fish tonight. This is definitely not my healthiest week.

Today was a good day, I had a really healthy breakfast and I went for a run after school. In general I haven't been feeling all that great lately because I have been too busy to work out or do anything active at all lately.

Breakfast: 3 egg whites with toast & grapefruit
Snack: Apple & nutrigrain bar

I'm starting to realize that I eat a lot of sugar... Which probably isn't very healthy but for some reason I crave sugar a lot more than I crave salt and almost everything I eat has a high sugar content.

Day Two: Tuesday, April 24, 2012

Breakfast: Yogurt & apple

Snack: Nutrigrain bar

Today I was supposed to wake up at 5:30 for a run, but I felt the need to let myself sleep in instead, considering how tired I was last night. I feel really good today! Well rested.

Day One: Monday, April 23, 2012

Yesterday's meals:

Breakfast: Yogurt & grapefruit
Lunch: Kraft Dinner
Dinner: Cheerios with milk & banana
And a glass of wine before bed. :)

Yesterday was my day to relax... I haven't been getting much sleep lately so I went to bed at 8 to catch up. I had a cigarette yesterday even though I supposedly "quit" which means I am starting all over again, again. I didn't really do any sort of physical activity yesterday, I was way too exhausted.
