Yummy in my tummy

I love Fiber One.  I’ve tried a lot of their products and I’ve loved everything.  The other day I saw this at the grocery store and decided to give it a shot & it was…..delicious.  Seriously, if you love Golden Grahams cereal, you should try it.  It tastes pretty similar in my opinion.  It’s also better for you!  Can’t go wrong there!!

Stay Focused

Lets face it - summer can be both relaxing & stressful.  I know it is for me.  I am one of the FEW people who actually miss school because my family, which I love very much, drives me insane.  Most of the time I feel like they’re bickering with each other because they are bored.  I mean, come on - if you’re bored then do something.  Don’t sit there and fight, sheesh.  I hate listening to all of the name calling.  It really makes me incredibly sad.  

I find that I’m the most relaxed around friends and my boyfriend.  This week I have not seen much of either.  My boyfriend is sick (get better babe) and my friends are busy.  So, alas - I am here with my family. 

Save me.  I kid…I kid (but no really please save me).  To top it all off I am trying to lose a couple pounds.  I’m not putting an immense amount of pressure on myself, but I find that when I’m stressed, I eat.  So my family stressing me out with their negativity is a problem.  I have done really well the past two weeks.  I have not tried to make myself feel better with food.  

Goal:  STAY FOCUSED  

  • Eat small meals.  
  • Snack on healthy things (if necessary).
  • Walk daily.
  • Drink lots of water.
  • Continue doing crunches.
  • Get lost in a book & maybe even light a nice candle.
  • Try and get alone time.
  • Breathe.

Evolution of Smooth (EOS) chap-stick is one of my new favorite things!  It comes in different flavors including:  Summer Fruit, Lemon Drop SPF 15, Honeysuckle Honeydew, Medicated Tangerine, & Sweet Mint.  I bought “Summer Fruit” at Ulta yesterday (which is the pink egg shaped chap-stick pictured above) and I LOVE it.  I have to force myself to close the chap-stick and put it away.  It makes your lips feel so healthy.  I want to get the other flavors as soon as possible.  It’s that good!  
Best part is - it’s 95% organic & 100% natural, so no random chemicals on your lips!  And, EOS doesn’t use animals to test their products!  They sell them at Target, Walmart, CVS, and various other places according to the EOS website.  Go check them out!  Seriously, do it now.  They feel great on your lips and smell amazing.

I actually think I like the Atkins Advantage Dark Chocolate Royale Shake.  I went directly for it this morning.  I have been looking for a meal replacement shake in chocolate and I think I have been successful.  Dark chocolate makes it taste more like chocolate.  It’s better tasting than any other shake I’ve ever had before.  Success.  I wonder if their other shake flavors are good.  Has anyone tried some of the other flavors?

Tired…

It’s nice out and I was hoping to go on a walk but my walking buddy is napping.  I wish I was napping also.  Vampire Diaries comes on at 8pm so I need to get this workout in before that…because once I get into lazy TV mode there is no turning back.  That gives me 2 hours to workout and shower….and where am I?  On tumblr!  Fail.  I feel exhausted after class but I know I’ll feel good after I run on the elliptical…so to the elliptical I must go.  

Trying not to get discouraged by focusing on my weight.  Focusing on that damn number gets me every time!  I have an ideal weight in mind, but I really just want to be healthy.  

Does anyone know any good workouts for your tummy?  I want to start focusing on my stomach but crunches get so boring.

Yum

So, yesterday for dinner I had a strawberry special k protein shake and a small bowl of broccoli w/cheese.  I wasn’t very hungry after eating lunch out with my boyfriend but I knew if I didn’t eat I’d be starving later and it’s bad to eat late at night.  I figured I’d just down a shake and be done with it.  The shake helped me stay full all night long.  I also had a special k protein water (pink lemonade flavor) later in the day - so I’m sure that helped keep me full as well.  Anyways, the whole point of this post is to let everyone know that the shakes and the water from special k work!  

I have also tried the chocolate protein shakes by special k….but didn’t find them as yummy.  I feel like you can’t mess with chocolate.  The shake didn’t taste like chocolate and therefore did not pass.  Fail.  lol  Now I am going to try the special k chocolate cereal.  Hopefully it’s good considering we just bought an entire box.  Have a good day ya’ll.  2 classes and then it’s the weekend for me!

POMx Bar

pom

Going to give these a shot.  I got this kind and the Banana Nut bar.  I will let you know if they’re good once I try them.  They’re like $2 a bar so they better be good.  I love everything else POM makes so we shall see!

Also got some more delicious Greek yogurt and fruit today.  Mmm!  We bought a Mango Greek Yogurt that I am super stoked to try because I love mango.  <3  Has anyone ever eaten these bars before?  If so were they good?  

Healthy.  

        Healthy.
