I started on July 5th and made it three days (lost 6 pounds)...then started fresh today, so technically that's day four for me right?
Exercise: I started my day with a 45 minute walk through the park - YAY ME! Finished the day with an hour of swimming. (The pool is also a great place for stretching, especially if you're like me and not very flexible
)
Breakfast: I really can't stomach eggs for breakfast (they literally make me ill) so I had that mocha ricotta creme for breakfast (hope that's okay!) It filled me up and was really yummy!
Snack: Part skim string cheese and a sugar free gelatin.
Lunch: I browned some chicken breast strips and used fajita seasoning on them...then just threw them on a big salad (still warm) and topped it with a little ranch/salsa dressing. (Yummy!!) BTW - is ranch dressing okay?
Snack: Roasted Chick Peas w/ garlic salt and chili powder - YUM!! Sugar free gelatin.
Dinner: Lean taco seasoned ground beef - made into a taco salad w/romaine, green bell pepper, tomato and cilantro.
Snack: sugar free fudge pop
I had emotional eating urges for most of the day today...they really hit me hard mid-afternoon. I probably over-did the sugar free gelatin today...I'm sure glad it was there, though...and REALLY glad it wasn't the kind sweetened with sugar alcohols! I'm actually pretty surprised that so many companies are switching to sugar alcohols when a multitude of people can't tolerate it's effects. I picked up a package of Jello brand gelatin in the pre-made cups the other day and read the ingredients...sure enough it had sugar alcohol.
I've read a lot of great recipes today that I can't wait to try...I think it's great that you all are so creative, I know I'd still be gagging on eggs for breakfast if I hadn't found this site.
time for nighty night...
