Good morning everyone! Happy April fools day :). Today I'm going to serve my kids some glasses of juice, which will actually be glasses of jello. They will try to drink it, it will be funny. lol That's as evil as I get.
We are on spring break this week, which has left me with limited free time for journaling. I weighed in yesterday for the last time in march. Finally made it back to onederland (198), and managed a 12.6lb loss for the month. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I celebrated my loss by going to the gym lol. It was a quick thirty minute workout with my husband, and we both needed it mentally as well as physically.
Trying to think of what I've been up to since we last chatted. I went out to eat at a steakhouse last Saturday, delish! I love steakhouses, as it's easy to chose a delicious steak with low carb sides. I actually opted for a plain baked sweet potato as a special treat lol. Love them. I have been spending all of my time with the kiddos, shopping, watching our favorite movies, and this morning we went to the library to pick out books. I got a book called "tallgrass" that I saw on pinterest, can't wait to get into it.
So diet wise, here is what I've changed over the past month. Gym three times a week, no excuses. I need to get back to my strength training. Drinking water and coffee only, except for soda Saturdays. Yup, one day a week dedicated to diet soda. Surprisingly I usually only have one or two that day. It satisfies my cravings. Planning my intake ahead of time, but that's not really a secret most of us do. High protein breakfasts. It satisfies longer than a carby meal. I usually go with two eggs fried in one teaspoon of olive oil over two pieces of dry wheat toast and a light greek yogurt. Diet food?? Doesn't seem like it, does it? I needed a change yesterday and had a good ol peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Last night I had bratwurst and baked potato wedges for a quick dinner. I do not restrict myself in any way, shape or form. Last week I remade two American classics, chicken nuggets and Salisbury steaks, just because it was what I wanted. Making them yourself versus buying them premade gives you a lot more protein and a lot less fat. The kids loved it. I have been refusing delicious delivery pizza, twice now, and it was hell. Not because I can't have pizza, but because I know that pizza packs a lot of calories/carbs, yet it doesn't satisfy... at all. (but god I love it) I could do some home made pizza, and I just might. The goal has been 1600 or less calories/day, under 150 grams of carbs/day, and 80-100grams protein/day. Its been working for me. Oh, and I have a special treat every night. Lately it has been a fiber one brownie. Ninety calories of heaven, let me tell you.
So it's been a good month. Good numbers, good progress, plenty of NSV. Ready to see what April brings.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
