Haystar's 3 Week (Plus) Challenge - Day Two...er Three!

I was craving a little cheese last evening and felt guilty after eating them but I still felt hungry after my dinner. My workouts are getting tougher and I like it that way but I expend a lot of energy!

Today's menu:
B: Multi-Grain Wrap (LC one's all gone!) with 1/4 black beans, 2% mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top with 2 egg whites and red peppers. Banana
S: Green Apple w/string cheese and cinnamon
L: Mixed green salad w/1/4 black beans, brown rice, and shrimp
S: Cottage cheese w/fruit
D: ??

I think I am near TOM and I always crave cheese! LOL

Oh, and another intense workout at 5pm!!

Thanks for all your support! :)

As I type this, my cats are staring at me because they want shrimp!

Busy, busy, busy!

I restarted my clean eating to a great start yesterday.

B: Organic 365 Oatmeal with flax and banana
S: Sliced green apple, string cheese and cinnamon
L: LC Wrap with hummus, mixed peppers, lettuce, broccoli, grape tomatoes, and shrimp, sprinkled with basil and EVOO
S: Cottage cheese w/pineapple
D: Salad w/mixed veggies, feta cheese, and Boca Burger patty.

For supplements: 2,000mg of Fish Oil (Morning and Evening)
One 5mg. Scoop of Branched Amino Acids

My stack: One Atro-Phex (BSN) and One Tight FEM (S.A.N.)

Cardio was 30 minutes on elliptical trainer (interval) and 35 minutes of weight training. I was able to lift heavier weights with little struggle!

With work, going to the gym, and studying nutrition that I haven't had time for my blog! I gotta hold myself accountable!

I am starting a 3-week challenge with Haystar from Low-Carb friends. I can't let her nor anyone else down, including me!

Can I survive without cheese?

I think it is possible considering if I don't buy it, I won't eat it! I haven't weighed myself since last week because the scale can jump anywhere from 145-149lbs. I don't know if my body is rebelling because I haven't been this thin since when I was a teenager or I'm eating junk on some subconscious level. HA! I haven't so much as eaten a cookie or a piece of milk chocolate in a long time. I'm enjoying my veggies and eating good protein, basically eating clean. I wish my friends would put down their french fries, stop eating processed junk, and give up soda completely! Maybe once they really see me they will finally be convinced! (Itsy-bitsy yellow polka-dot bikini!!)

Also, still going strong on the weight training! Stay tuned.

Over in low-carb friends and many others are still going strong about taking KIMKINS DOWN!

Just say "NO" to Kimkins. Just say "Yes" to Clean Eating!!!

Internet Surfer Girl...

This week, I've been riding the waves of the fitness/weigh-loss /political world. Where have I been?

Low Carb Friends (Cool site!)

Kimkins (I'm not linking to that site! Forgetaboutit!)
The negative side of Kimkins - lots of blogs for that one. You literally can get a headache from reading about the founder and con-artist Heidi Diaz. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC covering this story any time soon.

Bodybuilding.com (I get my supplements here.)

HotAir.com (Political) - Get your fill of the presidential candidate mishaps here!

HeatReviewService.com - The low down on frozen foods! Fun site!

There are too many to choose from! Here I go again!

35 Days away from Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day Goal and Beyond.

MSN's Diet and Fitness Message Board commentators are looking for weight-loss buddies to support them as they diet and exercise their way to Valentine's Day (7 weeks away, I might add!). Check them out, give them a hand, and then a round of applause!

Have you ever wondered where some of those great new diet/eating plans and advice are coming from in your favorite magazines such as Health, Fitness, and Self? Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, LDN is one of those reasons. She showcases her best plans on her website. Go ahead and take a look. You will not be disappointed!

Good Luck!
