Yesterday was busy and ended late with Kentucky losing to Wisconsin, so I'm late posting!
Day Seventeen - I am discouraged but telling myself not to be. The scale is up a pound and a half - and was only down 3 pounds on my best day since I started. But - here's my reality check...
1. Three weeks is a perfect amount of time to reset and correct bad habits. Generally speaking, it takes longer to see significant results.
2. I have cheated with some foods and some alcohol. Not tons, but I have.
3. The program says you can lose up to 15 pounds - but I don't have 15 pounds to lose (thankful!) so I can't expect to lose more than 5 or so in the 21 days.
4. Overshare Alert - it's period week. The scale is NEVER my friend during period week!
So - Saturday - I was really good all day because I knew there would be beer and basketball in the evening. Morning workout - Pilates. This is a great Saturday workout because it's a lot of abs, which gives my legs a break.
Post workout breakfast - Chocolate Vegan Shakeology and Spinach. One red and one green. I cannot say how much I love this stuff. I'll post about it after the Fix is done.
I had lunch early because I went to vote (Lakeland School Bond vote) and then had the natural blonde put back into my hair at 1:00. Lunch was eggs and sauteed veggies. This is a Saturday favorite. Love it. One red and one green.
After my highlight appointment (natural blonde), I had my afternoon snack - yogurt, granola and raisins. One red, one yellow and one purple.
We went to a friend's house to watch the basketball games. They have an awesome outdoor set up with a fireplace. It was just cold enough for a fire but not too cold to be outside. We took steaks. And beer. My problem with beer is that I like it. I drink really light beer when it's hot outside. But when it's cold, I love the dark, heavier beer. Like Sam Adams Chocolate Bock and Shafly Coffee Stout. Both of which I had. So good. And not likely light in calories like my summer stand-by Miller 64.
Anyway, dinner was steak (YUM) and potato salad (also YUM). I don't eat potato salad very often, and it was good. Kept it simple, eating outside watching the game, plus didn't need any more food with the beer. I forgot to photograph my plate, so here's my friend's plate part way through - close enough since we had the same thing.
I'm counting this as a red, a yellow and two teaspoons. I read the ingredients on the potato salad and it's the mustard based one, so two teaspoons seems enough.
I ended Saturday with one green, two purples, one blue, one orange and two teaspoons. I subbed all of those for beer :) LOL, really, I'm over on my yellows by three today.
Happy Easter Sunday!
