Happy Monday All,
I'm down another 1.2 lbs this week.... not a super big loss, but I'll take it and hope for a bigger one this week! It's crazy to think I've been doing this for 8 weeks straight now. It's definitely a change for life.
I'm so sad the weekend is over.... they're never long enough! I really would like a vacation.... just take a week off or something..... can't wait for a permanent job in which I am able to take vacation! Going from school straight into full time work with zero break is starting to take its' toll.... but I am thankful to have found work and to make enough money to pay off my loans quite quickly.
This weekend I started getting bored with all this planning ahead and the foods I am eating and whatnot.... so I took a step back and evluated what I was eating. I've mastered the being within 1200-1500 calories per day, but I do still eat a lot of chocolate, or sometimes empty calories in my meals. So I went to Shopper's and stocked up on higher fibre foods (like Kashi's Go Lean Crunch cereal which has 9 grams of fibre per serving!) and more protein (like cans of tuna). I definitely haven't been eating enough of either the fibre or the protein so it's time to start being more aware of that. Now I shall sit back and hopefully watch the scale go down some more!

Hey girly- I know this will sound crazy but I eat chocolate all day everyday. I eat cake for breakfast and I make chocolate HEALTH shakes all the time. The only difference is I make it myself and I use Raw Cacao which is REAL chocolate compared to what they have in the grocery stores. Basically the chocolate hasn't been heated the way it has in all those chocolate bars at the store, cacao is one of the healthiest superfoods you can put in your body so I would definitely not cut back on chocolate, just the store bought, heated, chemical added chocolate.
ReplyDeletePS. Avocado-Cacao-a bit of agave syrup and dates put together in a blender tastes like store bough icing. I eat this all the time.
PPS. Sorry if I'm annoying LOL
good job denise! you are going to be beach body weather by the summer for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou're not annoying at all Kim! I need all the advice I can get so keep it coming! Where do you buy this Raw Cacao? I mean, when you were in Ottawa?
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Mel! I'm excited to buy a new summer wardrobe! Gonna use these hibernating winter months to kick my butt into shape and then I should be good!
Umm the best place was at Herbs and Spice on Bank Street but they might have some at any health food store to be honest.. but the one on bak was my favorite because they specialized in raw food.
ReplyDeleteHmm I work probably walking distance to there.... I'll have to check it out on a milder day! (minus 11 today, minus 13 tomorrow.... ughs.) But I definitely look forward to trying this out!
ReplyDeletePS I can't believe you eat "chocolate cake" everyday. It sounds delicious and you look fantastic so it must work!
I don't use flour or sugar. That's the trick! Flour and sugar is what makes us gain weight. I use walnuts which are high in omega 3's since I don't eat eggs and I put the walnuts in the food processor to make a flour base, then I mix that with dates and a bit of agave and the cacao. Then for the icing I use an Avocado with agave and cacao. It tastes AMAZING!!!
