New (Old) Routine

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it right? My old healthy eating routine worked, I just got bored of it after a while, but here I am. 

Last night I made steel cut oats for the week and out them into their own containers. Bought plain greek yogurt and fresh fruit to top the oats. I LITERALLY ate this for breakfast every day for nearly 5 years and then stopped with the oats like 2 years ago. 

The plan is to eat the oats/yogurt/fruit as a snack either mid morning or mid afternoon based on my lunch/workout plans. 

I also am back on the Shakeology wagon. This will be my breakfast during my drive to work. Keep it simple. Unsweetened coconut/almond milk blend with ice and chia seeds or frozen raspberries with water. Or half water, half skim milk with PB2 and maybe half of a frozen banana. 

I also have the Shakeology 3 day refresh which I am going to do this month. I need to buy the advised food and pick the best 3 day window for me to stick to it. 

Here’s my 2016 workout overview. Shout out to @veggielife for the template!

My motivation is strongly linked to my stress/frustration levels. Work was unbearable before I switched jobs in June and working out was the only release or sense of control I had at times.

Switching jobs, moving, and moving with T were all good things and I tend to get lazier when I’m happy.

In November I really didn’t like how my clothes were fitting so after Thanksgiving I started doing shred. Now that the Holidays are over I’m bucking down on making healthy food choices. Cutting out unnecessary sweets and limited my alcohol intake.

I’m hoping 2017 looks good on me!
