Daily Recap- what I ate today

I actually considered not sharing what I ate today.  Then I realized, no I need to share.  Everyone has those days where they just eat and know they should not be eating most of it but they do anyway.  I have been struggling with my sugar cravings something horrible for the last 3 weeks between my birthday and McKalyn's I think I had cake with that extra sugary frosting on 6 different occasions.  I struggle with my blood sugar so any imbalance like that can send me into a tail spin for days and sometimes weeks. This one is no different.

I had planned on heading to 6am CrossFit this morning but I instead hit snooze 4 times.  I don't even remember doing it so I must have needed the rest.  Emerson typically is up at 4:45 and he even slept in. 
7:15- wake & shot of Cleanse for life while I made my coffee and oatmeal.  1 c of coffee with Almond milk.  Oatmeal with 1 T coconut oil, coconut shreds and 1 T raw organic honey.
Intended on attending yoga at 9:15 but Emerson decided to take a nap at 9 so I opted to get work done instead.
10:00- Chocolate macaroon from Whole Foods. Crackers & brie
12:30- left over chicken & potatoes from last night's dinner
1:00- Hibiscus Want More Energy and Ionix Supreme
1:30- 20 min power nap
2:30 handful almonds
5:30- 1/2 non dairy Isalean, single serving Stonyfield greek yogurt
8:30 3 waffle fries from McKalyn's dinner (I promised her Chicken & fries from Pollo Tropical if she behaved while I was coaching.) fish, cabbage salad, corn on the cob
9:30- shared Ice Cream with McKalyn, dried cherries

My intentions for working out never came to fruition but I did get in some good stretching with the kids

What's next for Emily's Fitness Training

As EmPowered Life evolves and I develop my new website and programs I have also decided to redirect the focus of Emily's Fitness Training.  I often have people ask what I do to workout and what I eat daily so I have decided to make this my personal fitness blog. Here I will share daily (or close to it) what I eat, my training and fitness adventures.  I will share any fun new recipes I try as well as my juice and smoothie recipes.  If you guys follow me on Instagram (click here) you know that I try to get in my daily juice and smoothie everyday.  Even if that smoothie is often a quick nutrient packed protein shake. 

As crazy as I may seem I really just a busy everyday mom who nibbles on mac and cheese and PB&J sandwiches that her kids don't finish.  Some weeks I will workout of 5 days a week and others not at all, because well, I just don't have time. 

Here is what today looked like:
Wake 5:00 am- PB&J, coffee with Bailey's Creamer
6:00 am- Teach cycle class (very sore still from Sunday so was only on bike maybe 70% of the class and only 70% effort
8:30- Lemon Isalean bar in the car on the way to coach gymnastics
12:30- Lunch was from the hot bar at Whole Foods: Veggie stuffed cabbage, Garlic Kale salad, and a few bites of Mac& Cheese (I LOVE their Mac & Cheese I cannot eat there with out getting some). Took AM pack of Daily Essentials with Product B late-whoops
2:00- Whole Foods 365 Coconut water
2:45- nap with Emerson 1 hour.  He is still not sleeping through the night so I try to sneak in a nap everyday to equal 8 hours total.
4:00- 2 handfuls of trail mix. I was craving something sweet & hoping this would do the trick, yea it didn't so I had a chocolate macaroon from my whole foods trip.
5:30- 2 crackers with Brie.  Bad idea, my tummy does not like dairy but it was soooo good.
6:30- teach a Pilates class doing about 50% of the class, drank my Ionix Supreme mixed with  Hibiscus Want More Energy
8:30- Hubby made dinner so I hope it was healthyish.  Chicken, potatoes, kale & onions all mixed in a casserole type dish I am sure made with olive oil.
9:30- 1/2 c Neapolitan ice cream
10:30 headed off to bed as soon as I am done with this. 

Did not drink enough water, as usual. Only about 8-8oz glasses. In this Florida heat I like about 3-4 Liters.
