Please excuse my small hiatus. Apparently, I had a small relapse and am now back. I wanted to get steady on my feet before returning and posting. It was a small battle I had to fight myself and sharing it could have caused me to take longer to bounce back. But here I am! I feel good and nervous at the same time but I’m eager to go forward and see where I go.
What I haven’t recorded on this blog was that I was on a weight loss regime about three years ago and was becoming healthy quite fast. I felt great and was doing great. I don’t remember the exact amount I lost at that time but I started to look great! After and even partly during my “stumble” I started to remember how it felt being that healthy. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. I decided to go back to the regime and see if I can start again and stick to it this time.
So, what I’m doing is the Billy Blanks Boot Camp workout series and am following his food plan and workout plan. I’ve also started taking Alli, which is a bit nerve wracking. I’m sure you’ve all heard about the possible side effects with Alli and quite frankly with all I’ve read it is quite concerning. I’ve taken some precautions to help if I do in fact end up experiencing them but nothing has happened so far. One step at a time I suppose.
Here is my F/E for today:
Breakfast: 2 eggbeater “eggs” scrambled with 1 cup of spinach, 3 mushrooms, and ¼ cup chopped onion (this was supposed to be an omelet but I just cooked it all together). ½ cup of sliced peaches
Snack: 1 stick of mozzarella string cheese and 1 cup of sliced cantaloupe
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad – spinach, lettuce, shredded cheese, cucumbers, mushrooms, chicken, and 2tbsp of ranch dressing
Exercise: 30min. walk
Snack: 1 apple and 1 tbsp of Peanut butter
Exercise: Basic Training Boot Camp Workout – 50mins. and a quick walk to the grocery store to pick up two small things so I’ll count that as a 20min. walk
Dinner: chicken parmesan: chicken, mozzarella cheese, sauce –baked and a mixed green salad with 1 tbsp of ranch dressing
