Saturday I started out with a coffee......ahhhhhh so nice.
I find I really need that morning coffee to unfog me and get me started. So, from now on coffee it is .......and then I'll flush it out with water. I will add here that I have about 3 cups a day and I take 1 sugar and cream, we just switched over to a lighter cream and it's all good.......I don't like to mess with my coffee!!
I do not exercise on the weekend for now. We are pretty busy running errands, and doing life, trying to catch up etc. So I am sticking to Monday-Thursday.
I am finding lots of great workouts on YouTube.
I bought all the ingredients to replenish my no-bake energy bites.I tried the cocoa nibs in place of chocolate chips, purchased the chia seeds and flax seed and honey. I got it all at Bulk Barn !!
Really like the cocoa nibs! They are actual bits of the roasted cocoa bean. Much healthier than chocolate chips, no sugar and aren't processed.
I am using up the PB we have here, then I may switch to pure, no additives, peanut butter.
I also should mention that I got ground chia and flax. I have read that in order to benefit from the flax it must be ground, and I assumed the same for chia.
So my bites are all natural except PB, pretty good eh?
Jason likes them, but they are off limits......just for me! ha
I am not eating any other treats....these are it. I did purchase a dark chocolate bar if I am freaking out and need something, in that case ,I would only have one square and let it melt in my mouth <3 So far, so good ;)
I also decided NOT to have a cheat day.
It works for some, but for me it is just a big FAT step backwards, I would just want more......
I made my own little supper Sunday night.
150 cals worth of multigrain tostitos (same cals as the average slice of bread)
1/2 cup chopped up chicken breast,
green and yellow peppers diced
3 Tbsp of salsa
and some tomato basil feta diced.
Heated it all in the oven at 350 for 18 mins
So tasty and filling :)
I don't typically prepare meals on Sunday, Jason would make me something or we would just snack. Now, the type of snacking I did in the past,is not an option. LOL
So that was my weekend in the eyes of "Losing it For Guatemala".
One more thing a friend said to me Sunday.....when you are eating better and exercising you carry yourself differently because you feel better, and you look better! She noticed a difference after one week! I was encouraged <3 :)
