Meals + PSL Protein Bars + Sparkling Water

Can you believe it is essentially November?! I can't. The month of October came and went in the blink of an eye. I honestly didn't even really realize how long it had been since I last blogged. Part of that attributed to me being without a laptop for a few weeks. My MacBook crashed and with my work schedule getting it fixed/picking it back up took me a century.

The past few weeks I have really hunkered down following macros and working with my coach. Below are some meals I have been eating. Mind you, not everyday is perfect for me. Consistency is  what keeps me successful. 

They built a new Whole Foods by my house. This has been the best thing to happen to me within the past four months, I wish I was kidding.

Premier Protein shakes are great when I am in a bind and need to get protein in with our sacrificing fats and carbs.

Quick easy and low carb dinner. Joesph's Pita, Cheese, Chicken Cilantro and BBQ sauce.

Home Chef night's for the win!! I LOVE that they provide Macros for each serving. It really helps me plan my day.

My coach shared a recipe from Oxygen and I jumped all over it. PSL protein bars. The macros are money and the bars are ACTUALLY good. They aren't overly protein tasting and they are moist. I ended up make two batches of these bars with two different brands of protein and I highly recommend you use a GOOD QUALITY protein. My favorite = Atomic Strength Fuel x30. It makes a difference. 

My best friend Caley can attest to this, I did NOT like any kind of sparkling water up until a few weeks ago. I was a strictly water and the occasional Coke Zero kind of girl. However, I am changed. I can't live my live without a refreshing sparkling water. It is seriously life changing. Want to know the trick to liking it? Force yourself to drink it, haha! Seriously though, I just forced myself to drink it and now I am semi-obsessed. It has to be super cold. I truly think switching from my 1-3 sodas a week to sparkling water has really mad a difference in my over all health. Whole Foods has some great sparkling water like the one above.  La Croix is just ok but, my #1 favorite is Kroger brand lemon. SO good and refreshing!
