Phase 1..Day 28...
What a GORGEOUS weekend! I got my first little burn of the summer season. This I am not excited about being that I put sunscreen on but you can see every little place that I missed! To include a spot right on my forehead and my left ear!
Weekends are Always the most difficult to stay on the eating plan. On Friday night, the vote from the hubs and the kiddos was to order pizza but I made salmon with a side of veges for myself. It just didn't taste like the delicious hot cheese and pepperoni I caught glimpses of my husband and boys chowing down on. I will admit though, that my salmon was prepared MAGNIFICENTLY and I had no complaints knowing that my arteries are completely clean and free from the lard build-up that they all have subjected themselves to (guilt free I am sure).
On Saturday, the boys had football games and we knew we would be there for several hours, to include through lunch. I went to the gym in the morning so was left absolutely ravenous. We made a pit stop to the grocery store and loaded up on snacks and cold drinks for the kids. I had no clue what to grab so I found 100 calorie pack of almonds, an apple and a grapefruit. I felt this could hold me over until we returned home where I could enjoy the left over salmon and more veges!
Today is Sunday...the last day of Phase 1 for me. I am super excited to get on with the fat burning phase! However, a little stressed about the time commitment this will take. I seriously cannot tell a difference in my clothes other than my chest seems to be shrinking. :) I had to weigh myself which I did not want to do until the very end but I had to for the contest. I have only lost 3 lbs. This is when most people would throw in the towel, including myself...however, I am going to trust this process and keep moving forward. We took the boys out to run errands today and we stopped by a frozen yogurt shop (my fav) and I was hoping to find a selection of non-fat, sugar-free yogurts...(not the case). Super depressing. I fought the big battle in my head and decided to order a mini one, however, after two small bites I gave it to my husband because I knew in my head that the little "MINI" order that I got was approx.120 calories. And I knew that I could go home and blend up a protein shake and get the same feeling of a frozen treat out of it and stay in my food guidelines. After this 12 week plan...I will be going back to get some of my favorite frozen yogurt...just not today! :) Willpower Wins Again!
I did all my meal prep for the week and feel confident that this will be a remarkable week! I made lentils and quinoa for the first time and my husband said he liked them both! This is exciting! I made some protein bars, turkey protein balls, grilled peppers and onions. I chopped additional peppers for my egg whites in the morning and made up some turkey burgers to throw on my salad during the week for additional protein.
It is the last day for you all to get in your "Before" pictures! I hope you are all doing your Squats challenge and rocking out your exercises! Everyone still In it to Win it???
