I decided that if I post on this every day, or at least try to it may keep me from doing other things - like raiding the cabinets/fridge. I'm still on the diet wagon though. I had a near lapse with a marshmallow today..but was a good girl and soldiered on...just happy with sticking my nose in the bag and getting a good whiff.
I did a Zumba class today which was great! What a blast. I forgot my shoes though so had to do it in my socks. The "old" me would have certainly used that as an excuse to skip the class but I soldiered on... and now the balls of my feet are throbbing. I definitely could see myself going back, as it was a great workout. I felt like I was dancing at the club for a few songs.
Came home to my hubby grilling me another slab of meat (turkey breast this time). Nothing says I love you like a hunk of animal flesh, nicely marinated and prepared to perfection. I have a lot left over and redesigned our fridge so that the rest of my family will know to keep their paws off my food. Skylar tried to steal a sugar-free jello yesterday and Mia was trying to get into my Fat Free whipped cream. Can't have that! :)
Tonight my project was custard. I tried a recipe from the mydukandiet website and it turned out pretty nice (edible - a bit eggy but tasty). I'll need to adjust it a bit - add more vanilla extract and splenda as it wasn't as sweet as it could've been, but look at the innovation going on here!
I was ramekin challenged as it turned out so I had to get creative.
So I think I'm going to watch Biggest Loser and chomp on some fake-sugared yogurt and hope that eventually being thin will out-weigh the slight risk in developing some kind of a weird tumor or ailment from the obscene amount of aspartame and Splenda I'm consuming.
Good Night....

ReplyDeleteThis is why I love you. lol
I'm proud of you. You are MUCH stronger than I am. I'm trying to eat well because of the baby but I still eat junk. I have no will power so I am awe of you. Keep it going!
Same here! I always feel like I need to eat what my daughter leaves on her plate, but NO MORE! As you can tell in my blog -- http://carrie-learningtolivehealthier.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is being honest and true to yourself. Keep it up! I will be joining you at Zumba!
Oh, I was going to tell you, I got my ramekins at Sainsbury's on sale. They were on the end of an aisle near the clothing. There was a bunch there when I was there Monday.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I really am trying to stay motivated Steph. I don't have willpower. I've always said I don't go to a fast food place to order a salad so this is going to be a big change for me.
ReplyDeleteCarrie - Keep at it. This week has been tough for me too. I'll def. stop at Sainsburys soon for the ramekins.
