About Me

Hey World,

Cut to the chase:

I'm Nicole
25 Years Old

I made this blog to show most my meal planning and fitness routines, but I plan to have a lot of random other stuff.

I'm about to run out the door to meet with a trainer that has been giving me guidance, today is our last session. I'm nervous to actually be on my own, but I have been making progress with little supervision as it is.

 Time to go will go in more depth later

So I started talking with my trainer in May 2016 where I started out at 162 pounds. When I said very little supervision (earlier) its because I would meet with him every two weeks in between this time. As of today I weigh 149 pounds.

I guess this would be a good time to explain how I got to this point. I want to be very clear, when people say it is 80% diet 20% gym its true. Not that I slack in the gym, but the diet or I like to refer to it as cleaning eating is the most important part. So I started off with cutting bread, pasta, chips, french fries anything like that, high carbs completely. At first I was still eating Multi-Grain Cheerios for breakfast, and flavored yogurt and granola, but by the guidance of my trainer that was cut. It was hard at first but I am confident with the meal plan that I have as of this week. My lunch and dinner will most likely change throughout these blog posts but my breakfast is something that took me forever to settle on and I will most likely continue with this breakfast for awhile with small tweaks when I get to the point of adding MUSCLE.


BREAKFAST
This is my usual breakfast. ( I had to add the pictures separate, because the first one is on my low carb day so I don't eat the bagel that day) I only eat half of the mini bagel on regular days. Pork seasoned with adobo seasoning, lightly fried in pan then cooked the rest in the oven, fried egg with coconut pam oil, and the snap peas came from a     frozen bag that I made in the microwave. **USUALLY** I would also be drinking a protein shake with my breakfast but at this time I cant afford it. I will feature the protein shake I use in a later post. I also take some vitamins in the morning which are:

Nature Made Multi For Her
Spring Valley Natural Potassium Gluconate and
Spring Valley Standardized Evening Primrose Oil

The Multi For Her, is the first multi vitamin I have tried so far, I'm aiming to look into a different one next time, this one lists soybean oil as an ingredient which my trainer has told me isn't the best to consume on the daily. I take the Potassium because with the help of MyFitnessPal App, I noticed that's one thing I don't get enough of throughout the day, IF you can get it through food it is always better! I take the Evening Primrose Oil because I had read it helps with hormonal acne, ( I struggle with acne) so I figured I would give it a try.

Ok so I wish I had time to write the rest but I have other things to do, on my way out to have my dad change the breaks on my car and oil change, I will try to add the rest of my meals tonight if not they will be posted for tomorrow!
