Focus T25 Week 1 day 3 and 4

I am almost through the 1^st week of my BETA phase of FOCUS T25 and this is such an awesome experience!! So not only do I love that my agility is improving, but I LOVE incorporating weights into my workouts!! I missed using weights and love having them in my workouts now!!

My meals are great, and I am getting just enough calories throughout the day that I am not even craving snacks at night! I realize that it is so psychological with snacking at night.. Majority of people tend to be late night snackers more as an emotional eater or when they are bored.  If you find yourself doing this, try drinking Green Tea or read a book, OR go to bed!!! 

Eating breakfast makes me feel so powerful!! It gives me energy for the day!! 

1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 tsp flax seed and  1 1/2 tablespoon almond butter!!

I love working out, but something almost as fun is decorating your clothes to workout in!! I was going to throw this cheap shirt away, then I realized WHY not have fun with it!!?? So I put a little excitement to it!! :>) 
Do you LIKE??!?

This was my awesome lunch!!! Mediterranean Grilled Cheese!!

 You need to try this!! You can get the recipe under my CLEAN EATING RECIPES!!!

 Dinner anyone?!?! How about a little SPAGHETTI SQUASH?!?! This is for all you spaghetti lovers out there!! We know pasta is not always the best choice, and it always makes you want more right?! Why not replace the pasta for some spaghetti squash!? You wont even know the difference!!!!

Are you exercising to lose weight or to eat?? Many people exercise constantly, but are not getting results.. It is important to re-evaluate your schedule... 
How many times a day are you eating?
Are you snacking in between?
In taking too many liquid calories?? 

If you do not write it down, you may not realize what you are missing that you need to get your results!! For me, having my weekly meal plan is so helpful for me and really keeps me on track of where I am with my progress!! Here is my meal plan for the week.. Although we are half way done, you will notice I stick to my plan! If I think about snacking, I just think of WHY I am doing this in the first place and think of my short term vs long term satisfaction of having these snacks!!
