I have so much to say today!
I bought Powerfit by Stephanie Huckabee and inside there is a meal plan. There are some simple, but good, ideas on meals. Here are my latest fav's and what I think have helped me drop those 3 lbs. this week!
Healthy Pizzas - buying the thin crust from the store and doing healthy toppings. Yummy!
Chicken & Grape Salad: I *hate* chicken salad because I'm not a mayo fan. But, this used one can of the Tyson breast of chicken, organic seedless grapes and a teaspoon of mayo. I loved it with some reduced fat wheat things!
Protein Shakes - My new thing is Muscle Milk Chocolate Light! I use one scoop (75 calories) with skim milk and ice. Sometimes I add almonds and for something really decadent, I add a teaspoon of the Jello no-bake cheesecake mix.
Greek Yogurt - I buy it plain and add honey. I dip apples in it. It's thicker, more like sour cream. It has lower carbs and sugar with more protein. Do a google comparing regular yogurt to greek yogurt. It's interesting!

Because I went nuts in Mommy's home gym,
my lower back clamped up on me. I've been getting massages. Well, finally after a week, I'm able to exercise again. Last night I did a 1 mile Leslie Sansone from her new Burn Body Fat Package. It was fun! Then, I did Day 4 of Powerfit. These workouts loosened me up and I felt so much better. Why do I torture myself trying to jump around and workout two or three times a day? I'm not 21 anymore!

Today we go to my sisters and fried fish and french fries are on the menu. I'm bringing some healthy oatmeal fruit muffins that I made because they always have coffee. I really don't want to eat the fried stuff. I want the cholesterol number to go down and I want a good number on weigh in day! So, pray there will be some other items to eat so I don't have to eat a protein bar while everyone eats fried fish. It's not hard for me to do but a little awkward and almost rude. Know what I mean?
