Well to make my past week short and sweet.... I was on target, then off, then on.... then off.... I guess I prefer the roller-coaster ride in my life lol. Anyhow... I'm staying true to my April challenge though. I've been exercising and the eating hasn't been quite as prudy as I'd like it to be... butthenagain.... it's me you are talking to.
I've posted before about that I was doing the INSANITY Workout. Well they have a nutrition plan (not diet) to go along with it. I figured it all out and they want me eating about 2500 calories a day.... I was stoked about that... however I feel like I want to cut that down some. Of course that is also based on daily exercise (only one rest day from the program... however they do have workouts that aren't as intense so you aren't killing yourself daily). This nutrition plan wants you to eat proteins, carbs, and fats in a balanced way. It cuts out all the 'white' carbs such as flour, sugar, bread, white pasta... and replaces it with whole grains. It's a very doable for me. So I will be keeping you informed.... as well as post some awesome recipes.
Other news... I found something awesome. I've heard about it and finally tried it today. It's called Fage... it's a greek yogurt that totally replaces my sour cream! I could tell a bit of difference.... but not a whole lot!!!

I'm pretty thrilled with this find! I am a total sour cream lover! (as you may know.. I'm the reason the Mexican restaurants stay in business)
I have decided that I'm not weighing myself until the end of April when my challenge is complete. (I'll be away anyhow and won't have a scale) I also got really fed up last week when I stepped on it... even though that way the week that I 'expected' to be on the heavier side.... but still I haven't stepped on it since... besides.. I'm kinda excited about it... I'd love to step on at the end of the month and have dropped like 10 pounds...(or more).
Well for some reason... I'm in the mood to clean. I dunno why... spring I guess... but I'm getting prepared for my trip and I like to leave with a clean house. My hubby is staying home and having some family down.... so at least it will be nice and clean when they arrive.... (let's hope it stays that way for my return)
Hope everyone is having a happy and healthy weekend!
Love Always,

I LOVE FAGE YOGURT. I use it instead of sour cream in all my recipes and I also eat it plain, or freeze it for a lil bit and drizzles honey on top :) Good luck on your conference
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of the insanity workout. I am definitely going to look into it. The nutritional plan sounds like something I would be able to handle. Don't give in! I know how hard it is to eat healthy while traveling so I wish you luck on your business trip. I used to use traveling as an excuse to eat whatever I wanted. I applaude you for not weighing yourself until the end of the month. That is so hard for me. I weigh myself everyday and sometimes it is not a good experience =]

I've been cleaning like crazy too! I guess I just don't want to have to clean a whole lot of junk when we have to move out.
