Day 4: 50% Sundays are for faith, family, and a treat :)

2/4=50% 

Water and Sleep were great! Didn’t exercise at all and had my treat meal for the week 🙂

Exercise: Usually Sundays are my rest days or I choose to do something relaxing like a walk, stretch or PT exercises if I have time but today was not that day! We were pretty busy with church and getting ready for the potluck so I didn’t get the chance to do anything physical.

Food: Okay our friends who live above us invited us over for a Sunday potluck and she asked if I could make the dessert. I made Pani popo (I know this blog is about health but if you have never made this before you should for your next special dessert). I did allow myself to enjoy my Sunday…I had meatloaf and some mashed potatoes and one of my Pani popo rolls. I just made sure to not overeat or go crazy on the rich foods. I don’t like the phrase “cheat day” but instead refer to this meal as my treat for the week. I also didn’t worry about IF’ing but I was proud that I didn’t pick/graze all day too!

  • Breakfast (9:30am): Oatmeal ( I made my husband waffles but refrained from eating any so I could enjoy my dinner later on for my treat)
  • Snack/Lunch(3:00ish): apple banana, apple, and one handful of homemade nut/mulberry trailmix
  • Dinner(6:30pm): meatloaf, mashed potatoes, salad, watermelon, and one Pani popo roll

Sleep: 10:00-6:30 Slept for a good 8 hours 🙂

Water: 96+ ounces Water consumption was on point! I made sure to drink most of my water before my treat meal and it really helped with not overeating and feeling fuller sooner.

Day 3: 100% and GIANT Papayas

Exercise: Surfed with my friend Raye in the evening at Turtle Bay and for a small moment we had it all to ourselves. Wish I had a photo to capture the memory of surfing together but we were busy having fun! I probably caught over 10 waves….the surf was tiny but we brought huge boards so we had no problem. Surfing as the sun sets was so incredibly relaxing and recharging all at the same time.

GIANT papaya for breaky!

Food: Went to a baby shower in town and didn’t cave for any of the cinnamon rolls or chocolate muffins woo hoo!! I was incredibly proud of myself because social settings are where I tend to make the biggest mistakes with food choices. Eating was a little sporadic with driving into town but I was able to avoid the added sugars/junk, IF’ed from 10 till 6 pm, and I didn’t pick and graze all day!! It was pretty easy to do though since I was gone from the house most of the time.

  • Breakfast (10am): super huge papaya
  • Snack (12ish): mixed fruit bowl and egg/veggie things (what I ate at the shower)
  • Snack 2(3:00): Apple and coconut water (no sugar added–the real deal)
  • Dinner(4:00): Buddha Bowl (Quinoa, chickpeas, purple sweet potatoes, broccoli, green beans, etc. with hot sauce
  • Dessert(5:30): homemade granola with almond milk

Sleep: 11-7:30…Stayed up late but slept in 🙂 You have to stay up a little late on weekends right and party hard (aka clean out your kitchen cabinets with your husband).

Water: Drank 10 cups (80 ounces) of water and 2 cups real coconut water…does that count? I like to think it does 🙂 I got a little behind in the evening with drinking my water so at 9:00 pm I started chugging my last 6 cups. I payed for it by making a bunch of extra trips during the night.
