Quickest update ever! I am at my cousin's house and stealing time on the computer while they entertain the kids. I will start with where I've been...my computer's hard drive crashed and it has been at Best Buy being repaired since Sunday. Boo!! :( Luckily, Shaun's aunt bought me Geek Squad coverage, so this won't be costing money. However, I have been missing updating this blog!!!
FOOD and DRINK: Still on the Special K diet and love, love, loving it! I haven't been hungry at all, no grumpy days (well, fewer, ha!). I'm not even tired of the cereal because of the varieties available! I will tell you right now I am not a cereal eater. In my past, I would have told you cereal only makes me hungrier after breakfast, and I have to eat at least two very large bowls to feel any amount of satisfaction. Now I am covering the bottom of the bowl with either strawberries or bananas, then 3/4 cup of cereal, and 2/3 cup of skim milk After that, I am ready to go with a full belly and a pep in my step! I have started having my morning cup of coffee again, but only one. I get the French Vanilla flavored coffee and only use Splenda to sweeten. Anyway, I have been eating a meal at lunchtime and keeping it between 500-600 calories. I joined a website called www.e-mealz.com and have been making some new recipes from there at dinner...I set aside a serving for myself for lunch the next day. It's working very well. I am a little sad to move on from this diet plan, but I am looking forward to trying these shakes!! I plan to start the Right Size smoothies on Monday.
EXERCISE: I have been doing at least one 10-minute segment from my video almost every day. I did skip yesterday because I had to do my magazine delivery route and I knew I would be running and lifting all day. I also missed today because I had to finish up the route and took the kids to the park and am just plain tired! I have been trying to get in another 20 minutes or so of running around with the kids (actually making an effort to RUN and PLAY) every day, as well. I feel great. Just flat out great!!
TIPS and ISSUES: As I said above, I love this Special K diet and this is coming from a non-cereal lover. I am drinking about 100 ounces of water every day...still super easy when through a straw in my fancy cup. I think knowing I will get some of the dinner for my lunch also helps me through watching the family eat dinner. I'm not ready to recommend the e-mealz website just yet, but we have really enjoyed 2 of the 7 recipes that were on the list for last week. Like, REALLY enjoyed. :)
That's all for now!! I should get the computer back tomorrow or Sunday and will update you with pounds lost on Monday morning, for sure!!!
Talk soon, good night, xoxo
