What an awesome week CG! That's a fantastic result, well done. It's such hard work hey? But soooo worth it! I hope you and hubby enjoy his birthday and the leaving parties
Hope next week is just as great for you CG xx
Thanks Jess!! Yes it is hard work but more than worth it!! Thanks for the support!!
Durrrr....I just wrote on your before and after post and totally forgot that I already write on your diary lol. Apologies, blond moment there. X
Oh no worries - I thought my before and after thread was dead so thanks for posting in it!
Hey, so these bran buds you eat... How do they taste? I've started being a little wary about cereals and I know the bran stuff is pretty much on top of the nutritional list... But every time I look at the box at the store I get so disinterested!!!
I like them but I only eat them with yogurt & berries or fruit - they would be pretty plain on their own. For 1/3 of a cup there are 12 grams of fiber so it's really filling. They sell them in little individual packages too for convenience if you don't want to be measuring out 1/3 of a cup each time.
Congrats on the weight loss Lisa!!!!
My hubby is also getting tired of my food restrictions ... he finds it hard to make meals for the whole familly cause what I eat the kids don't enjoy I replaced fatty ingredient with spice and the kids don't like those yiet....but he is still trying ti be supportive!
Well at least they are trying right! My hubby is fine with eating the healthier dinner but then he just makes Kraft dinner or something bad later so he ends up eating two dinners.
Yippee another Great day!!! I feel like I’m on a roll right now and nothing can stop me!!
Here’s how day 23 looked (please remember all my calories except the ones on the label are estimates – if you see anything off please let me know):
B - 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced (50), 1/3 cup all bran buds (80), ff activia yogurt (80) Total 210
Snack – 1 cup mint green tea
L – 1 can Campbell’s tomato garden vegetable soup Total 220
Exercise – 63 min treadmill – 5.8 miles 700 cal burned, long stretch
D – small wheat tortilla (90) w homemade left over spaghetti sauce (120), ff cheese slice (30), green olives (30) Total 270
Dessert – lg banana 130
Went shopping with hubby and he picked up another Reece bar.
Snack#1 – 1 Reece PB cup 90
Got home and was still pretty hungry.
Snack #2 – veggie salad – lettuce (30), tomato (30), cucumber (20), ¼ cup chick peas (85), poppy seed & onion dressing (110), pickle (10) Total 285
Total Cals 1205
I turned down hot chocolate at Tim’s and watched my hubby eat a chocolate donut – right before the Reece bar so I couldn’t turn that completely down too – plus 90 calories for 1 cup is so worth it!!
Hubby has been complaining a lot lately about getting fat but he won’t do anything about it and it drives me crazy. He recently got on the scale and was over 200. He’s always been around 170 until he quit smoking almost 2 years ago and put on 20 pounds after that but lately he drinks White Russians left and right and eats take out for lunch most days so it’s adding up. I wish he would take some interest in working out or at least eating healthier. Last night when we got home and I made the salad for a snack he had two bowls of Choco puffs and poured way more milk in then necessary so it could turn to chocolate milk and then he could drink it after.
I didn’t drink enough water yesterday and had too much salt so I’m feeling a little puffy today – hoping lots of water will fix it up.
I was really set on waking up to do the treadmill this morning but when my alarm went off I could barely walk down the stairs to get to the washroom so I went back to bed. It always takes a day for the kettle bell burn to kick in and I’m extra sore today. Hoping it goes away by class tonight or I might have to take a couple Advil. Not resting till the weekend!!!
