Weekly Review - April 7, 2008

Overall this has been a good week for me when it comes to eating. I have posted my weekly food below, and from the results I did really well (except that I am addicted to ketchup). I planned everything and maintained good portions. Around 90% of the foods are on the list of the World’s Healthiest Foods. I like the quote: “If there is one thing we can control, it is what we put in our mouths!”

I did not get to exercise this week due to back pain. I also cut a chunk out of my finger when I was cutting up the squash and zucchini. It bled for two days and still hurts like hell, but I was finally able to get a liquid bandage on it. I am actually looking forward to getting at least 3 day of exercise in next week. I think it was good I did not do it this week because I had more time to plan and focus on my meals.

Providing my blog works, I will post some helpful information and tips this week. I also plan on posting my “Weekly Reviews” at the end of each week. I think it will help keep me grounded.

TIP: BJs (similar to Sam’s Club) sells packages of thinly sliced chicken breast cut into 4 to 5 pieces with each slice being only 80 calories, which helps cut your calories and ensures you get your protein.
