Dieting

I have worked out every day this week!  A special thank you to my work-out partner, Dana.  Also, I have been dieting quite a bit!  I'm very proud of myself, as you can tell.  I may have only lost 2 lbs so far, but that is awesome news for me, since I had pretty much plateaued.  The diet has a few aspects to it. 

• eat every 3 hours (to help raise metabolism)
• lower calorie intake
• lower carb intake
• work out daily
• try to get plenty of sleep
• drinking water NON-STOP
• taking vitamins
• taking fiber chewable tablets (helps curb food cravings)

The foods I have been consuming are:

• EAS low-carb protein shakes (100 calories!)
• plain rice cakes with a wedge of spreadable laughing cow cheese on top (YUMMY)
• turkey slices wrapped around a wedge of laughing cow cheese (even yummier)
• homemade fruit and spinach smoothie (made of apple, strawberries, spinach, grapes, ice and water)
• grilled chicken

I'll let you know if I lose all the weight I need to by Memorial Day.  That is our vacation to Cali!
