Reading another Slimmer’s blog got me to thinking about the food choices I eat. So I wanted to share with you all some of my favorites.

Ground Turkey. I “don’t” eat ground beef unless I grind it myself in my meat grinder. Here’s the one I buy. It’s 99% Fat Free ground turkey by Honeysuckle Turkey.

But now I’ve been using Barilla Plus rn rn This pasta has fiber, protein, & omega 3 fatty acid. All the good stuff. Plus it’s whole wheat. I had to get used to it…..but since I love, love, love pasta and didn’t want to stop eating it……I learned to like it. rn Now snack wise………have you seen the new 100 calorie packs by Nabisco? Sorry no pics for these. Well the new ones are Oreo, Chocolate Chip, & Nutter Butter Chewy Granola Bars. The CChip & NButter has 1.5g of fat and the Oreo has 2g. They have 0g Trans fat & Cholesterol. rn Another cool snack….and I mean cool literally…….is Skinny Cow Ice Cream. I usually have an ice cream sandwich on my treat day which is Saturday. rn Well I have tons more to share……but I don’t want to blog you down.  rn Do you all have any low fat and/or low calorie favorites? rn rn

One thing for sure……you have to be consistent with the weight loss journey. It’s definitely not fun and easy……but end the long run….it is soooooo worth it. The health benefits out weigh the aesthetics. So I’m happy to say……I’m on my way to a healthier me. I lost a total of 6lbs this week. I honestly think that was a fluke. The most I’ve ever lost was 1-2lbs a week. I think it was because I upped my exercise and lowered my calorie intake to 1200.

Well that’s all well and good…..but that’s “not” going to be a normal fit for me so I’m goint to test out doing 1200 calories this week with working out only 4 days. Here’s my regimen for this week.

(HIIT) = High Intensity Interval Training

Monday: 1,200 

Tuesday: 1,200 calories (HIIT) 

Wednesday: 1200 calories

Thursday: 1,200 calories (HIIT) 

Friday: 1,200 calories

Saturday: 1,600 calories (HIIT)  My treat day

Sunday: 1,200 calories

Have a wonderful week everyone…..

Be strong, choose wisely, & keep your eyes on the prize.

If you can believe it……you can achieve it.

I’m in this fight with you all.

Well that 2lb weight gain over the Easter weekend has turned into a 5lb loss this week. I wasn’t suppose to weigh myself till Monday but I was so anxious to know how I was doing.

What a huge ego booster…….I’m so proud of myself. I’m still going to weigh myself on Monday just to see if anything’s changed.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone……and stay strong and keep up the fight.  

Well I’m gonna get this 2lbs. off by next Monday…….so here’s my exercise and calories for the week. I enjoyed pigging out…..but now it’s back to business.

(HIIT) = High Intensity Interval Training

Monday: 1,200 calories (HIIT)

Tuesday: 1,200 calories (HIIT) (Firm Cardio Sculpt)

Wednesday: 1200 calories (HIIT)

Thursday: 1,200 calories (HIIT) (Firm Cardio Sculpt)

Friday: 1,200 calories (HIIT)

Saturday: 1,200 calories (HIIT) (Firm Cardio Sculpt)

Sunday: 1,200 calories (Rest)

I stayed on track with my exercises….but on Friday it was all over with my food. I pigged out from Friday till Sunday. And I have no regrets. I was all good.  I gained 2lbs. that I know will come off by the end of the week.

Hope everyone is doing well.  

This is my schedule for this week. Time to really get down to business. I want to be at my goal by October and half way there by July. Hopefully I’ll meet my mini goal by May.
