Good morning healthy friends
That sounds awesome Kelt! More calories burned, fun, and will definitely tone the upper body up as well. Sweet!
Official weigh in day and, with lots of stress and some emotional eating (still)....drum roll please....down 2 more pounds.
The key for me seems to really be staying away from refined carbs....sugar, things made with flour, and starchy veggies....except in very small amounts. Other than that, I eat whenever I'm hungry, including snacks. I'm not weighing, measuring or portioning really....just making sure that meals are more vegetable than anything else, lots of salad, and including more healthy oils (olives, olive oil and avocado mostly).
When I want something sweet, I've found that slicing up an apple and dipping it in peanut butter works like a charm.
I'm also no longer drinking any of my calories....and also zero intake of artificial sweeteners. No diet sodas for ages now, which has helped tremendously. I did use the Sobe Life Water as a transitional thing, but haven't had any of those in several weeks now either. They were a good middle step I guess.
Now, my only beverages are coffee (black), iced tea (unsweetened...and when I make it at home it's half black tea and half green tea), and water....lots and lots of water. Every once in a great while (like every 2 weeks maybe), I'll treat myself to a skim latte.
Keep up the good work everyone....we got this!!
