Day 13: Merry Fit-Mas: I Think I’m a Chef!

As I continue down the no rice/pasta/sweet path (I would say no carbs, but I ate popcorn today), I must find ways to “sike” myself into thinking I’m eating them even though I’m not. FOUND IT!!  I came across some cauliflower recipes and decided to try one out. To my…

Day 12: Exhausted!

I developed a competitive drive at 11:00 pm tonight. My desire to be the leader of my fitbit challenge group, pushed me to do 3000 steps before midnight! I did it, but I’m paying the price…I’m so sleepy right now, I could lay down on my kitchen table and go…

Day 10: Cure for Cravings…Chili!!

Ok, I admit it, I’m a foodie. I like to eat and in large quantities, so to help me work on replacing that, I eat larger than life salads. Hoping the bulk (lettuce, cucumbers, etc.) will satisfy my internal meter. It works for the most part, but salad gets a…

Day 9: Interesting Monday

Day 8: Merry Fit-Mas: Why Walmart…Why!!??

Walmart has some type of hold on my pocket book! Lol…I go in for 4 things and come out with 20 things! So, as I walked down the pasta/ Ravioli/Hamburger Helper aisle, all I could hear in my spirit was “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow…

Day 7: Talked Myself out of Popeyes

I talked myself out of going to Popeyes and I went to Wendy’s instead. I had chili & a bacon ranch salad (complex carb free). Major win for me…it’s all about the choices you make. I’m looking into trying some different veggie recipes…stay tuned! So: 64 ounces of water, 3…

Day 6: Merry Fit-Mas Eating Update

I am so humble right now!! I got on the scale this morning and…I lost 4 lbs.!!  This is a sign that I’m on the right path.  I just need to keep my noise clean (i.e. stay on program) and exercise. I’m on day 6 of 21 of my quest…

Day 5: Merry Fit-Mas Eating Update

  Ok…today was better than yesterday.  I thank God for that!  I didn’t wander around in a “food fog” all day..lol!! I was able to focus. So, today is another win for me! Wooosaaa! How am I doing this, you might ask.  I am sick and tired of being…sick and…

Day 4: Merry Fit-Mas Eating Update

MY LORD!!!! I had bouts of sadness today dealing with not being able eat my “fun foods”!! I had to PRAY constantly, get support & talk out my feelings. Especially after I read the article I posted about “How to Stop Eating Your Emotions”. I reminded myself why I’m on…
