A thought for the day: True power is the ability to say NO

No to all the deserts at the table

No to the second plate of food

No to high calorie beverages

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and enjoys the precious time with their family & friends.

Back on 11/1 I set a goal to loose 5lbs by Thanksgiving day and I have exceeded my goal - I lost 7lbs

my day is like this -

bfast: 1/2c oatmeal made w/1c 1% milk & 1tbsp npb & walnuts = 410

snack:

lunch: tuna w/2tbsp mayo & onion & 16 wheat thins = 490

snack: hard boil egg = 77

dinner: not sure what all will be served - I wil be watching my portions

snack:

total -

water: 9 8oz glasses

workout: 5 mile walk in the rain + 20 min bowflex

So Thanksgiving is around the corner and the Christmas holidays aren’t to far behind that so I came up with a list of tips to help out when it comes to eating whats not so good for us. 

1. snack on cherry tomatoes (curbs cravings for sweets)

2. water water water

3. portion control

4. everything in moderation

5. exercise

 My day …..

bfast: 1 1/2 c cereal w/1/2 c 1% milk, yogurt smoothie & 1c coffee w/5 tbsp creamer = 340

 snack: 1/2 hard boil egg & 1 serving of n almonds = 170

lunch: tuna salad (1 can tuna, 8tsp dijonaise, lettuce & 2slices of tomato)  = 255

snack: 2 lettuce, meat & cheese wraps = 100

dinner: taco salad = 1043

snack:

total for the day - 1908

water: 13 8oz glasses

workout: more than likely none today as I have a busy day with personal & work (hope it doesn’t effect my weigh in tomorrow) I worked out 27 min brisk hilly walk & some lunges & abs yippee!

This is a bit of a follow up to my Thanks & Praise post. When I include God (by praying & talking to Him) into my eating habits & exercise it seems as though I have more energy, make better choices and the scale seems to go more in my favor - DOWN. Thats why I need to realize - God and I are dieting together.
