lose 50 pounds

Yay for 1.4 more pounds! I think it was all in sweat. . . :D

Week One: -1.2
Week Two: -1.4

Thanks to naughychimp for recommending Spark people! Within a week of your recommendation, I am using it along with half my family and friends!

Well, it’s not exactly week one in the overall diet, but it’s week one since I’ve started doing it on here. I’ve had a LOT of ups and downs over the last year, and I haven’t taken losing weight too seriously. Now that things are calming down, time to kick it into high gear.

Week One: -1.2

Now that I am exercising considerably more, I am finding that my appetite has considerably grown. I have eaten like crazy the last five days, successfully sabotaging my efforts to lose weight, and have even gained a few pounds (I really have eaten a LOT!). After doing some research online tonight, I am going to try to modify some eating. Milk before and after my workout, and some fruit and protein for breakfast. (Ironically, I hate milk, but have found myself craving it the last few days. Skim, of course!) Giving it a try for the next couple of days!

This is sweet and tart at the same time. It is 3 Weight watchers points and approximately 150 calories (give or take).

1 Sambuzon Acai Smoothie pack, frozen and used according to package directions (it is just pureed acai you stick in your freezer, then run some warm water over it before using)
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 tsp ground flax seed (optional—you can also use some flax seed oil)
2 tsp Splenda
1 cup warm water

Combine all ingredients and blend!

I rounded it out with an egg for some protein. Very tasty breakfast!

UPDATE: Oops, I just realized today that it was actually CRANBERRIES I put in this thing. Oops! I wouldn’t ever think to put cranberries in with acai, but it is totally yummy!
