Welcome Nadine...and good afternoon everyone.
I just receieved my treadmill..and I am excited to start...and get into shape.
I am finally motivated to get back on plan..ahh, what the heck took me soo long. Maybe because I feellike I took 5 steps backwards.
Anyways, today is beautiful..and we (the boys and I) Went to Cape Cod for lunch...it was a perfect day for a nice 40 minute drive down. AHHHH, I am looking foward to SPRING..hopefully here in New England we will not "skip" spiring and go into summer ...it tends to do that sometimes around here.
Do any of you gals watch Oprah? Well, last Wednesday, she had a great show on getting back your energy. It was all stuff we all know, but just do not do. It was motivating. Check out her website..for more info. SHe also had a great chef on (I wish I could afford him to cook for me) who makes a great POWER PUNCH..basically..a power smoothie/shake....we can use it with LA ...and fit it in our plan...
2 tablespoons soy or whey protein powder
1/2 c. skim milk
1/2/ c. plain fat free yogurt
1/2 c strawberries
1/2 medium bananna ( I know this is not on our plan
but we can skip it )
1 1/2 c. ice cubes
260 Cal. 1.5 Grams of fat, 0 grams of Saturated fat 5 mg of cholesterol, 190 grams sodium, 51 gams of carbs, 5 grams of fiber, 16 grams of protein.
I dunno..it looked soo yummy
Also, I have a question for ya...does any one get why we can only have 1 cup of cooked veggies like broccoli, or squash? Is it because of the carbs???? Or is because of discipline??? I will never understand that..I always thought veggies are "FREE FOODS" and are soo good for you. Does any one else feel that way.
I'lll check back later, gals..
