HEY GUYS!!!!! I have been running my sale this week and missed out on sooo much!!!
I am so happy everyone is on to this! It really isn't anything difficult to do, other than, like Dogg said, preparing.
The key I learned is that if I don't like it, I won't be happy about it, so I won't stick to it. I was told to eat the plain old Quaker Oats... YUK! So, I found the Instant with the "less sugar" oatmeal (Apples/cinnamon or Maple brown sugar) match up pretty darn close in the nutritional facts, so, hey... why not add some flavor? I can't stand cottage cheese, so I skipped that too, I chose the oatmeal. ANY kind of consistant nutrition plan will help, as long as it is the right foods and you try to squeeze in, even, a 20 minute walk each day. Eating the 6 times per day keeps your metabolism moving all day, so you are burning calories constantly. If you are ready and can add strength training a few times a week, that, too, will increase you metabolism. Or.... when you get out of bed in the morning, drink a glass of water, jog in place for one minute and do 50 jumping jacks to get that heart rate started for the day! Soooo easy and quick! As far as the eggs go, I choose to use 1/4 cup egg beaters along with one egg white... just even lower on the added "junk".... tastes the same.
Shannon, you can have your glass of wine. I, personally, found that depriving myself completely caused me to binge and pig out at times... that is NOT good. So, if you like a glass of wine each day, go for it.
I have found that the turkey is sometimes very difficult to find. But, try to stay away from the sausages. Even though they are turkey, they still have a lot of extra "stuff" in them. If you can find the tenderloins or turkey "breasts" (sorry, had to say it, hee hee).... then that is actually the best. But, if you like tuna or fish, then that is even better yet. (obviously, not fried in batter).
This is awesome! I am so proud of Brian, Carol and the kids! They are doing great! (keeps me in check, too!!!!)
Well, guys, I will be running my sale the rest of the week. I will try to check in here occassionally and see what is new. Have a great week!
P.S. OH, and Shannon... you can start any time. Even if you started on Thursday, and had your special "treats" this weekend... you will have at least started. Every day counts! And every day makes a difference! I also learned that even if you have a bad weekend (and say, drink about 10 beers and eat a bunch of cheeseburgers from a track....and gain 5 pounds......) if you jump right back on board, immediately.... those pounds literally FALL right back off. Just don't let them "get comfortable".
