Weight lost this am: 0.4 which brings me back to 133.4 :) Nice to see that 0.4 gone again! Today was a great day all in all. I prepared a delicious lunch the night before which I'll get into in a sec. I actually had time this morning to make myself a nice breakfast. I had 2 eggs scrambled with onion, broccoli, onions and peppers. It fit in my son's little baby bowl, just so you can get an idea of how much I ate of it. For lunch; the night before I prepared a super delicious meal which consisted of salmon, cooked with lemon and olive oil, along with steamed mixed veggies and bulgar. I didn't use any butter or salt in any of the dishes and it still tasted just as good. For dinner I made a sandwhich on whole grain pita bread and for spread I used a spicy hummus I purchase from Trader Joe's. In the sandwhich I added lettuce, orange peppers, onion, cucumber and tomato; that filled me up perfectly! For a mid morning snack I had a large banana and mid afternoon snack I had 7 whole grain crackers, which were also really good. Since I was told not to work out during the first 10 days of this challenge because calorie intake was so low, until today I had stayed away from doing so. On my 15 min break today I took a walk and tonight I did about 25 mins on my elipticle while watching 16 & Pregnant, lol. I miss working out so much and haven't done so in a few weeks so I want to get back into it slowly. Next week I get to go to my barre class which I am VERY much looking forward to. During my elipticle workout tonight, I felt completely fine; didn't feel dizzy or anything so I think I am going to add on tomorrow night, maybe hit the treadmill :)
Last night I have to admit, I almost failed! My husband, who by the way can eat a box of Oreo's in one sitting and actually loose a pound, was sitting next to me eating Cinnamon Bun ice cream from Ben and Jerry's. If you haven't tasted it, take my word, it is absolutely amazing! I actually asked him for a bite! Ahh, just admitting it makes me cringe! And the amazing hubby he is, he declined. He said I am not going to let you ruin it, if you want a bite so bad you get up, get your own spoon, and get a bite!! He knew I wouldn't and I am soooo glad he didn't let me give into temptation! The only thing I really do crave and miss is cheese. I came across a vegean cheese at the store and when the challenge is over and I can start eating cheese moderately, I am going to make the switch to that kind. This program is really helping me WANT to change my ways and I actually really love it. The food is still amazing and I feel great! Let's just hope tonight, my husband doesn't join me on the couch with a Reece's PB Cup!!!
Welcome
- Why?
- I think the first thing I'll start off is with, no, I do not work with or for Advocare :) I really am doing this on my own! Why you ask? When I first received my Advocare package I posted the picture on Facebook (since I was super excited to start and wanted to share my excitement), and before I knew it I had message overload; friends asking me what this was, or wanting more information. I figured this way I will be able to log my every day experiences, feelings, struggles (if any), and tracking all progress; and share with whomever I come across that may be interested. I felt this was more personal than preaching info; people will be able to see a real experience and see their every day and . I know for myself, when I hear about someone's story and see the results it's more believable than seeing an infomercial. So pull up a chair and join me on my 24!
