As I said before, I'm not yet where I want to be nutritionally. I am an average American stay-at-home mom. What do I eat? Here's a look into my pantry.
Some times I make homemade bread and I love to bake desserts! We eat about 80-90% of our meals at home (or pack food that came from home). We only go out to eat about once every other week. We ALWAYS buy popcorn when we see a movie (about once a week). On average I would say we MIGHT get one fruit and/or one vegetable serving a day.
Favorite Places to Buy Food:
-Wal-Mart
-Vons (local grocery store)
-Ralph's (local grocery store)
-Pasadena Farmers Market
-Trader Joe's (specialty grocery store)
Favorite Breakfasts:
-eggs and bacon
-pancakes
-waffles
-toast
-hash browns
Favorite Lunches:
-leftovers
-sandwiches
-Easy Mac (for Mariah)
-Chicken Nuggets (for Mariah)
-Chicken patty sandwiches (for me)
-nachos
Favorite Dinners:
-chili (like taco soup)
-chicken fried rice
-lasagne
-BBQ steak and potatoes
-BBQ pork chops with wild rice
-BBQ chicken
-spaghetti
-eggs and bacon
-pancakes
-the occasional casseroles
-roasts
-tacos
Favorite Veggies:
-broccoli
-green beans
-potatoes (a veggie right??)
-fresh salad (featuring cucumbers, green onions, radishes, romaine lettuce, carrots, all from the farmers market)
Favorite Fruits:
-apples
-grapes
-strawberries
-bananas (which I stopped buying because I couldn't find them at the farmers market).
Favorite Drinks:
-MILK - As a family, we go through 4 gallons a week: three non fat milk gallons for Brian and me and one whole milk gallon for Mariah.
-Juice - I drink 100% orange juice for breakfast, Mariah drinks 100% apple juice a few times a week at snack time
-Crystal Lite - I use these packets when I go out somewhere (like Disneyland or the movies) but am trying not to drink soda. They don't contain sugar, I'm not sure what they are, but they flavor my water and in turn help me drink more water.
-Water
-The occasional soda - less than one 12 oz can a week!
Current Weaknesses:
-chocolate covered M&Ms
-popcorn!
Fitness:
I MIGHT work out once a week. This week we have been going to Disneyland, which means a lot of extra walking. Plus I ran two miles on Tuesday. In the past I have done Hip Hop Abs, P90X, Zumba, Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, and other workout videos. I would love to work out at least three times a week.
