JCore Day 8

(So, yet again, this is an older post that I didn’t get up in time.  This one is from Monday, Jan 14.  Sorry everyone…)

Home sick today :(.  Nothing major, just sleepy and headachy and crampy.  Because of this, however, I skipped my JCore workout; I’ll swap today’s workout for one of my rest days during the week.  I did have a weigh-in, however, and it looks like I’ve lost about 5 lbs since I started, which is pretty cool.  I also got some stuff done around the house, like laundry and dishes and stuff, so at least the day was a little productive.

The Food

Breakfast: Bagel thin with almond butter and Jennie-o turkey ham. 

Does my breakfast look like a mad face to anyone else?

Turkey ham is kind of weird, guys.  I have to say I don’t love it, and it seems really processed so I probably shouldn’t be eating it.  But, in my desperation to eat something that wasn’t chicken I bought a giant hunk of it at the store the other day so I might be eating it for a while.

Lunch: Egg whites and avocados.

Snack: Honeydew and cheese stick.

Dinner: Grilled lemon-rosemary chicken and steamed veggies.

I was super happy with this chicken.  I had been having issues with chicken made on the George Foreman grill coming out dry, but I read online that if you cook chicken with the skin on and then remove the skin before you eat it this will help.  Let me tell you that it totally works!  I really liked the marinade as well, although once cooked the stuck-on pieces of rosemary kind of reminded me of pine needles…whatever.
