So this past week wasn't exactly the greatest for eating the healthiest and exercising do to busy schedules and health but I've managed to stay within my calorie intake for each day. (1700) I have definitely noticed that my appetite has decreased and my portion sizes have gotten A LOT smaller then they used to be. My pants are fitting better and even had to increase my belt notch by 1 more, yay for small victories!
This week I plan on getting back on track with my exercising and watching what I eat, not just the calories, but the fat and sugar intake as well. My biggest issue is my sweet tooth, I love ice cream, chocolate and candies so much it's always hard to say no. Although I have discovered an alternative to ice cream... gelato. I love plain vanilla ice cream (especially soft serve) and gelato is perfect for that. It's softer and creamier then regular ice cream and is only 90 calories for half a cup, which turns out is quite a lot. So hopefully if I can find more suitable alternatives to my sweet tooth (if you know of any, especially for chocolate please let me know), I'll be able to stay on track and be ready for beach weather.
I'm all about this drink i've been making. I don't know how healthy it is though. But it's ice, milk, hot chocolate mix and peppermint oil. It's SO GOOD. I bet if you used low fat hot chocolate mix and skim milk, it wouldn't be too bad?
ReplyDelete5 pounds in 2 weeks is kinda a crazy amount. GO SARAH!
So proud of you Sarah!
ReplyDeleteTry dark chocolate, its actually healthy for you and a few squares a day might help that sweet tooth.
