Hey everyone! So, it is finally the end of week one, my energy seem to be leveling out a bit (sugar withdrawals?) and with the exception of yesterday I have been following the meal plan. Yesterday was a bit of a wash, I did eat clean, but I didn't follow the plan at all. A friend suggested that I drink more water, so when I got up in the morning I drank 20oz of water and couldn't eat until almost 11am oops...
I struggled with some pretty harsh sugar cravings the last couple days, so for anyone else who is interested in curbing those cravings here is some advice.
1. up your protein intake
2. go eat a piece of fruit
3. brush your teeth (sounds silly but it works for just about any craving)
4. take L-
I hope that helps, if anyone has anything to add to this please feel free to comment!
I have been focusing in getting some exercise in daily. Alternating about 30 minutes of cardio with a 2.5 mile walk. Today I took my kids to a magic show, off to split a large nachos at a fabulous little Mexican place in town, I did some networking and found myself forming a Mom's Group with another newly settled resident (who knew that would happen today?) and then scored 2 weeks of Hot Yoga for 10 bucks. All in all not a bad Saturday ;)
I realized that Sunday is Father's Day, so Happy Father's Day to all of you awesome Dad's out there!
Every year on Father's Day my husband asks me to make him this heart stopper here:
Emeril's Over the Top Bacon, Egg and Cheese Meatloaf
I will start working on another plan for next week, and I hope that you all hang in here with me and have been inspired to push through and make cleaner choices!
