Hi gals Doing good, took a cpl days off and hid in my just sneaking online to update my food diary lol. Had to rest the knees n back but back to working out today My sons GF has been so impressed with my weight loss she has come to the dark side with me? ( Or seen the light? lol) She is a young 19 and its difficult to get her to understand eating more not less. She decreased her portion sizes but only eating once or twice a day ( grrr) Ive explained starvation mode. She is new to this and hopefully it will click. She is a sweet girl and hate to see her damage her body.
I also have been having SWEETS cravings that are unbelievable. Been taking 1/4 low fat greek yogurt 2 packs of splenda and 1/4 diced apple and a dash of vanilla and it kinda reminds me of apples n cream? Its not too bad and helps alot. Fairly filling as well. Doesnt sound like a whole lot but when mixed together it halfway fills a cereal bowl.
Shame we arent all closer n go to the gym together Rose Would be awesome motivation Working out alone can sometimes be a hamper for me. I get too focused on time ect then it starts to drag. Ive dragged my bedroom tv to the basement n hooked my netbook up to it to watch tv while im on the eliptical. A 1 hour tv show works perfectly for a 45 minute work out with reduce commercials. THANK YOU FOR THAT! lol Makes time go so much easier0 -

I have been really wanting something sweet as well. I'm on day 17 now and I keep thinking about eating desserts!!! uugggghhhhh lol. My office at work is having a farewell "party" on the 31st for a co-worker that is retiring, so everyone will be having cake and ice cream and who knows what else. I might make myself some avocado chocolate pudding to have so I don't feel left out. Everyone knows I can't have gluten here, but they never take that into account when they bring in treats for the office so I can't eat it. I normally don't mind, but sometimes I want to feel like I'm a part of what's going on if that makes sense.
I could always use a workout buddy!! I tend to do my own thing, I have my list of exercises that I rotate through during the week and listen to my iPod and keep to myself. But it can be very motivating having a partner. Good for you using the elliptical while watching a show though.0 -
Good morning!! You guys have to try this AMAZING Coconut Milk Chai - 2c boiling water, 1/2 vanilla bean, 1/4 tsp ginger, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, 1c shredded coconut, 4 dates (pitted) - blend everything together really well then strain and squeeze through a cheesecloth and heat back up in saucepan if it cooled off too much. I am in heaven right now!
I need more sleeeeeeepppp! I'm planning to try and go to bed early tonight - get a quick workout in at the gym and get to bed. Yesterday I did my weight routine and no cardio. (I do weights 3x's a week for now). I also need to do something with my hair, get it cut again. I chopped off my super long hair in June I think to this super cute angled bob which looked awesome with my curly/wavy hair. But it's grown out quite a bit so the back just looks silly now lol. Gotta get the layers fixed and the front shortened a bit so it grows out nicer. I'm toying wiht the idea of making some homemade shampoo too, I'm seeing lots of good recipes for coconut milk shampoo I want to try. Maybe it will help me with my frizz issues >_<.
Well I hope y'all are having a good week!0
