"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power." -- Tao Te Ching
Today started our Biggest Loser Challenge. I feel like I have been doing good. I woke up this morning and had a package of regular instant oatmeal with a 1/3 cup of yummy cinnamon and raisin granola. My lunch was a turkey breast sandwich on 45 calorie wheat bread and olive oil mayo and a can of green beans with a little garlic salt and a touch of chili powder. For snack I had 15 raw almonds. I'm making dinner tonight...I'm having some lightly breaded fish filet's, brown rice and some yummy steamed vegetables. I hope I'm heading down the right path here.
So a new revelation...my foot was swollen and hurting after work yesterday. So I have spent the day with it propped up and keeping it iced, guess what there is to do when you have your foot propped up? NOT A WHOLE LOT! Ugh. :/ So I decided to watch a CSI marathon and here is where the revelation comes in...there are a ton of commercials on TV selling yummy delicious things like pizza, pastas from Red Lobster and cheesy hamburgers. What is that about. Where are all the commercials with salads, roasted chicken and healthy oatmeal? I think this could be a challenge, but if only I can "master my true power", I think I will be able to make it.
Dinner is almost ready, so I should probably go check on it. Wish me luck for tomorrow. I open so it will through the whole schedule off....bring on the challenge!!!!!

stay away from the cheese! I eat those small laughing cow triangles. They are good and come in different flavors. Only 30 calories each. Of course anything in moderation is okay.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too drastic the first week. You will cheat and get frustrated. Go slow! Cut out a couple of bad things and add a couple of good things.
The TV is tempting...but I above is stuff that I like to eat. However, there would usually be something cheesy or something probably like fast food :) I need to get some of that laughin cow cheese.
