Christmas Crunch Countdown...3 Days to go

NO JUNK FOOD CHALLENGE - Day 1

Day 335.2 ~ 12/21/11

An early morning pit-stop at Kohl's this morning...Do you believe to do returns? I'm already returning Christmas presents....somethings not right, this is what I get for guessing no one else got the same thing.  I'll just go with great minds think alike!!  Also, to try and pick-up a couple small last minute items. 

Getting up earlier than I need to, makes for an EXTRA LONG day.  I enjoy sleeping too much to do this sort of thing on a regular basis....good thing this time of year is a ONE TIME OF YEAR OCCURRENCE.

How is your week going so far?  Last two days of trying to keep the junk food under control....you have come this far with me - let's just push it home and take a break for the holiday!  We are going for working the diet & exercise program into a lifestyle change - not making the deit our entire life!

Today's Meals:

Breakfast: Trader Joe's Oatmeal, 1/2 cup grapefruit juice

Snack:  1/2 cup applesauce

Lunch: Rolled Boars head ham & Pepper Jack Cheese, 1 cup Cauliflower & Broccoli heads with 1/4 cup ranch dipping sauce (made with powdered ranch dressing and no fat sour cream)

Dinner:  Grocery store roasted chicken breast (always a great, cheap fall back meal when you forgot to take something out of the freezer....see getting up earlier than you have to ... NOT GOOD), 1/2 cup white rice, salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and low fat italian dressing

Snack:  1/2 cup watermelon cubes (also off the salad bar at grocery store)

Dinner was all about convenience and trying to not do a drive through McDonald's or Wendy's for convenience -or- JUNK FOOD....I know it's food, but with all the extra fats/calories, not worth the slide...I am trying to save my slide for this weekend!

Have a wonderful night!!

NO JUNK FOOD CHALLENGE - Day 3

Day 333.2 ~ 12/19/11

Do you believe as of tomorrow - - ONLY 3 DAYS left on the 21 Day JUNK FOOD CHALLENGE??

How have you been doing? Even if you cut back a little - it's still progress!  I know I've had my share of obstacles and it's just getting tougher!!!  This past weekend I was invited to bake at my mother in laws and I had to pass - I just knew if I went, I'd be pulling hot cookies off the cookie sheet and munching and there would not be a limit (who can resist straight out of the oven cookies??).  Friday afternoon we have our company holiday party (in the office) - it's very nice that they do something for the employees and it's a catered party from a local Italian place, thankfully the JUNK FOOD CHALLENGE will be over by then!!

 Today's Meals:

Breakfast: Chobani non fat vanilla yogurt, Tassimo Latte

Lunch: 4 ozs Boars head low sodium ham rolled with 2 slices Pepperjack cheese, 1/2 cup baby carrots, 1/2 cup applesauce

Snack: 1/4 cup wasabi soybeans, Honest tea 1/2 & 1/2 ice tea & lemonade

Dinner:  Chicken breast with stuffing, 1-1/2 cup steamed broccoli

Snack: Small banana

Feeling good, except for not exercising. I am probably going to blow off kickboxing this week as I really need to finish shopping....but I can feel I really need to exercise, my joints are aching from not exercising!

Have a GREAT NIGHT - - -ONLY 3 MORE NO JUNK FOOD DAYS TO GO!!  You've come this far, # more days aren't that bad!!

 

Sorry Guys....it's true!!  Most women shop with little restraint!!  I am one of them!!
