. (my dog Ty)FOOD:
Week one was a learning experience on this new diet. I LOVE the fact that cream cheese in a protein and I also learned Greek yogurt (at least in a shake), also a protein, is pretty good.
Also, I retried Peter's breakfast. It is sooooooo much better with a banana and lots of cinnamon and some Stevia. Yes use of stevia is allowed. It was in one of the recipes in the book. You can find it at your local store in the baking aisle with the other sugar products.
WATER:
Call me crazy but I am actually craving water and don't miss soda at all (WHAT?!?!). I know, strange! I already knew where every bathroom in Stark county was thanks to my job and boy has it come in handy. As a little FYI; most of the fast foods will give you free water (even if you don't order anything else) except if you get a large and then McDonald's charges $0.50. I forgot my water bottle one day and kept hitting all the fast food places for water to go along with my food.
EXERCISE:
My dog and I are dodging the rain drops to get our walks in after lil j goes to bed. So far I mostly have been doing walking with Ty (the dog). I do have a treadmill. Its in the basement I am cleaning and is actually uncovered! I just prefer walking better.
HABITS:
The first habit (making sure clothes are in the laundry or put away) is going really well. The cleaning the basement, um, well, its getting OLD fast. I realized I have a lot of Christmas decorations (now mostly in one area) and that I need non-Christmas wrapping paper!
SLEEP:
Ah, 7 hours sleep! I can do it! I actually got 8 last night thanks to lil j sleeping a bit longer this morning! Well, that and I didn't have to get up for work :)
How was everyone else's week one?
I was doing really, really well for the first half of the week. Even dealing with all the water. I think I gained a few pounds from all the water. The South Beach suggests drinking the 64oz that is Doctor recommended, plus your decaf, iced tea, etc....so, almost doubling my water intake was a huge chore. The habits weren't bad, and my garage is looking so much better already....I may be able to get the truck in within another week!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe second half of the week didn't go so well. I had a friend in from out of town, and lots of social plans. Wasn't even home at all Saturday and Sunday. That played havoc with everything. All I can do is try and hit things harder next week. No reason to give up, just to try harder!
Hope everyone else is having fun, and that they are enjoying the contest!!!!
I tried really hard this week and was proud of myself for sticking, Weight watchers is pretty much second nature by now. I have been on it so many times. Now it is going to get tough. The water really sucks unless I can get started right away in the morning, I start work most days at 6 and try to have 4 glasses done by 8. If I fall behind I just can't get the water in.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to wwotb. We have to kick the VA butts this week!!!!!
