Thought I'd take a minute to let everyone know how I am doing. It's a little harder to stay away from the things I am not suppose to eat now that the Challenge is over. I'm going to have a talk with myself and refocus myself for the weeks ahead. Not that I am doing terrible, I missed a meal (forgot to eat) and then Jody invited us for dinner and it was so good I ate too much protein (it was a steak, after all) and maybe a few too many carbs. It was last Sunday and it is the hardest day for me. Saturday is my free day so it is harder to buckle down and get back on the program on Sunday, especially when I don't have the structure of work to help me. Since then I have done great.
One reason I think that I can pass on the sweets and treats here at work is because of the protein shake I drink every morning. I LOVE IT! It is called Fixx and it made by the same people that makes the Form pills. It is full of organic dark chocolate and I put in a blop of crunchy almond butter. It is also full of a lot of good healthy things and it is so satisfying. I am never hungry in the morning until I have been up a few hours so to drink a shake really is working for me. And I get my chocolate fix (hey, maybe that's why they call it Fixx????) and then I am good for the day. I think I could easily drink it 2 or 3 times a day except that they are kind of expensive.
Still working hard at the exercising. No real flare-up last weekend but I was so tired! Had a hard time getting moving after I got home from my weighted workout. We went to a party at church and they were asking people about their hobbies, I guess mine is working out. Sometimes it seems like it is the only thing I get done! I go to work and I work out. But it is all working (down another pound!) so I'm going to keep with the program. One of these days it will get easier . . . . right?
