Week 1-Week3
I was feeling extremely motivated. I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas. I just was ready to lose weight and wanted to lose it right away. I lost about 3 lbs that first week. That helped me be extra motivated!! I refused to be on a "Diet" and went crazy on pickles. Pickles have no calories!!! I was very excited. I found weight loss treasure! ...So I thought.
Not enough proteins + exercise = very hungry person=eating more. It took me awhile to realize that I needed to make sure I was eating foods that have lower calories, but protein to keep me fuller longer. Pickles were not cutting it. What are my favorite yummy healthy snacks that keep me full until the next meal or help curb cravings you might ask? I'd love to share!!
- Half of an Avocado with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese (It's a bit on the higher calorie side for a snack, but keeps me full for a long time. Its about 230 calories)
- String Cheese (Western Family brand is only 60 calories)
- Chobani Tubes (Delicious Tubes of greek yogurt)
- Hard Boiled Egg Slices on top of Wheat Thins.
- Popcorn (Helps me curb the potato chip craving)
- Frozen Blueberries (taste like sour candy!)
- Water, Water, WATER!
- Half an English Muffin w/ 1 tbsp of peanut butter and a few slices of banana
By the end of week 3 I was still feeling pretty motivated. I remember one of the days exercising as much as I could. I ate well, but as few calories as I could because I knew when I got home, Shad was making his unbelievably wonderful Bacon Bleu Cheese Burgers. Shad said he should have taken a picture because it looked like I had never eaten a burger before. I was so happy. So, so happy. That burger was marvelous!
Here's week 1 vs week 3
