A Challenge

Your most adorable five year old brings you breakfast in bed!  A chocolate chip muffin and a chocolate doughnut!  Thanks to your husband who brought them home!! I wouldn't say my husband was trying to sabotage me.  He was getting treats for himself!  My 5 year old was just being sweet.  But these are the challenges we face and how we handle them.

Well, I decided to eat the smaller muffin!  He was so proud!  I did forgo the doughnut!  He had lost interest by then! Now it's time to eat my protein so I don't crash!

Plan Your Week

I am down 17 pounds!!  I am feeling pretty good!  The clothes are getting looser!  Even my rings are loose!

Some things I am doing!

• Visited my doctor!  Gave me an appetite suppressant.  It is really helping but I'm not only using this!  I'm working hard! 
• Keeping chips out of the house!!
• Keep Beef Jerky Sticks or Tender Bites in my desk at work 
• String cheese makes a great snack too!
• I love the Greek yogurt.  Make sure to read the labels.  Some contain a lot of carbs.
• Eggs in the morning!  Keep boiled eggs ready for days you can't cook.
• Pre-make your salads for lunch.  Found this great idea on pinterest.  Use Mason jars - put your veggies, cheese, meat, dressing on the bottom and build your salad.  Lettuce on top. I leave off the dressing and take it along in portion cups.  The salads keep a long time.
• Prebag your veggies so they are easy to take along.
• Portion cups for ranch dressing for the veggies.
• Reduce the fruit - they contain carbs!  Smoothies are not a good choice!!
• Exercise - I went to the gym twice this week!  Hey that's pretty good!  I did 6 miles on the bike! 
• 
  

I'm motivated and I'm going to keep going!!  Join me!  I'm on vacation this week so I will need to be focused on being active!
