Coco libre chocolate flavored protein coconut water
Nutrition Facts
Serving size: 1 Box Serving Per Container: Ingredients: coconut water, water, cane sugar, coconut cream (coconut extract Coco libre, water), cocoa processed with alkali, natural flavors, carrageenan, gellan gum. I am really making this a challenge. You see the word cane sugar. I forget which person I follow was talking about this and he said how good a coconut water was till he read the label. Also I am looking at all forms of sugar. To me I really don't want to trade 1 form of sugar for another, I want to get rid of this attachment to sugar. It is tough but I am writing a book about this year and what happens Jillian was going to do a cookbook and just trade out all sugar for artificial sugar. This also includes Stevia. I have really cut back on bread items and upped my veggies. I really don't want to say bake goods are ok if you make them at home. I want to get them out of my life. This is the same as the mash cauliflower you would make at home but then when you go out to eat they don't have it made with cauliflower so you get the potatoes. I have upped my veggies and if there is a fruit of veggie as a side I am all over that. Had fresh fruit with my omelet at the IHOP the other day.2 -
40 MINUTE FITNESS BLENDERS done.

@lynnbaum I don't know if I could make the commitment to give up all sugar and sugar substitutes as well as bread. I admire you being able to do that.
I did the 40 minute fitness blender last night. Sore legs today-I think from the squats. Will try to get outside this evening if it's not raining.
4 -
I am going to leave wine & alcoholic beverages behind this week. We are so close to going away & I was adding wine back into my daily routine "practicing" for the cruise. I might be able to squeak out another pound loss this week if I leave the booze behind
5 -
No comments on staying under my calories for challenge 3? Will that work? I don't drink alcohol, I don't eat sugar, I don't eat processed bread unless it is fermented or sprouted. I guess I could give up grain? That really won't be much of a stretch...Calories is definitely the most challenging for me.

I have given up carbs (all grains, sugar, fruit, root veggies) since January 7th. I have had 3 meals that had food that was not "allowed" on the ketogains way of eating (one had pasta, one had dessert, and I had a spoonful of baked beans). It focuses on low carb, moderate protein, & fat depending on your macros/goals. The focus is whole foods, not frankenfoods. I feel so much better. I hope that I can mostly keep it up while I am away.3 -

Hi Smashers. Unfortunately I didn't do anything yesterday but will be kicking my butt into gear the rest of the week. I will be giving up cheese this week. That is possibly my #1 weakness.3
-
@plainanjelik cheese is a vice of mine too. I'm just not sure I could give it up for five days :P Good luck with that!
I had my last soda from the fridge yesterday because I needed caffeine...baaaadddd migraine, worst I've had in probably a few years. It's mostly gone today but not completely. I had hoped to get more minutes in last night but that obviously did not happen. Today is packing day so lots to do. I will get some active minutes throughout the day, at least.2 -
@lpeltenburg you are a brave girl. I don't drink a lot but when I visit my sister I am a win-no. Camping spots are picked around wine tours. I am not giving up bread too but I tell you I feel a ton better not eating it most of the time. I eat a S&%# load of veggies. and fruit.
I am kind of looking into the whole 30 thing. I find it to be interesting. Because I am writing this book I am looking at it from the point of what the concept of the diet is. If I am remembering right Whole 30 cuts dairy and a couple of other things I am unwilling to leave behind. I have switched from putting mild cheese on my salads to less of a bolder cheese. Top on the list is goat feta.

I have my tablet with me so I am hoping to watch the videos at the gym tonight. While on the treadmill not sitting on a bench.3
-
We're in need of back-up players for the Wait-List. If you know of anyone who might be interested in trying out the race over the last few weeks, please refer them to the sign-up sheet, which is found on the Main Group page under "Announcements".
Thank you! 2 -
@lynnbaum I have tried to post a picture of what I was talking about but it will not load for me.
The ingredients are: Organic Coconut Water from Concentrate, Purified Water, Milk Protein from Grass-Fed Cows Concentrate, Erythritol, Dutch Cocoa Powder, Coconut Cream, Acacia Gum, Vanilla Extract, Monopotassium Phosphate, Trisodium Phosphate, Cocoa Bean Gum, Stevia Leaf Extract.
There is no Sugar. I don't eat sugar either.0 -
FYI erythritol is sugar alcohol, which can lead to diarrhea & abdominal gas.1
-
I did a C & P of what you had posted. You can send me a pic 262-939-8514 I looked it up on the web and thought I had the correct one. My point is that is they both have a form of sugar in it I might as well drink the chocolate because I already buy it for dear husband and I have to leave something else behind. The one thing that I found is that as soon as I said I was leaving sugar behind I saw sugar every where. Most of the time I don't really give it a second look and think about what a waste of calories it is but now I am looking at it like I can't have it. I need to get back to I don't want it because it is a waste of calories. This was part of what my first book was about, how we think about food and the power we give our thoughts. I talk about what we are really deprived of and my answer was that I was nutrition deprived so I am leaving behind things that don't do any good for the body. I could of given up seconds, which is also really hard. Just because it is good doesn't mean more is better. I made and had lentil soup last night and my mind said- have another bowl because there is more hot in the pot and my stomach said -uuummm no that's OK I am good. There will be food again in the morning. I am also leaving all that negative talk behind. No place for that on this trail.3

Any one ever use this link? http://www.fooducate.com/app#!page=product&id=6351DF40-9930-11E2-9B11-1231381A4CEA I think I fount the product we are talking about. The link evaluates food products. It is kind of cool0

Hey Smashers, I worked my butt off at the rec center this morning. I've already done challenge one and I'll post all that later when I'm on my computer. I'm giving up chocolate/sweets this week. I needed this challenge. I've been really bad about sweet snacks the last few weeks. A day and a half done.
I don't remember who said they were giving up cheese, but pretty sure I wouldn't be able to do that. Good luck!

I have to say, Alaska has always been high on my list of places to visit but now I REALLY want to see those Northern Lights!

@carinamenina Good luck on your Half this weekend, wishing you a PR!!!3

@lpeltonburg Yes erythritol is a sugar alcohol but that is very different than sugar. Cane and/or Organic sugar is about 50/50 glucose and fructose. Glucose our bodies need and can use, but we can get all that we need from fruit. Fructose on the other hand we have to break down in our livers. Not real good for our livers. The sugar alcohol doesn't have the same properties. It doesn't spike your blood sugar at all and most people can tolerate it just fine.0
-
CHALLENGE #1 - I choose the frostbite footrace.
I walked over 5k yesterday because it was a nice morning and I wanted to check out the new roads in our development. After the gym today though I completed the Iditarod. Managed that one with a mixture of walking and elliptical. 1 -

@plainanjelik that's a good one!! I love cheese so much but I actually didn't buy any this week so I didn't have the temptation !
@lynnbaum I'd love to hear about your whole 30 experience if you do it! I've been wanting to give it a try, but there's no way the hubby would do it with me so it would be so hard!!

I chose option 1 for Challenge #1: 2.5K Frostbite Footrace. I walked 2.7K last night after work, but had to stop because it was getting dark. I wanted to make it to 5K, but don't know if the weather will cooperate this week!2
-
-
I had to Google russian twist. I need to do more of this type of exercise in addition to walking. After the fitness blender video for challenge 2 this week, I've been really sore, but a good kind of sore, which tells me I need to work more on push-ups, crunches, and lunges. I will attempt this!
Yesterday was day 1 without chocolate. Someone brought in a big tray of chocolate chip cookies, which I avoided. There are leftovers today, I'm just walking past them. I had an apple instead.
