i have to admit, i caved and snacked again last night after my dinner smoothie... either i need to eat later, go to bed earlier - or i suppose just develop some self-control....
anyway, i woke up to day 4 feeling a little discouraged - if i don't have the will-power to make it through the first 3 days, how am i going to manage another 12? just for kicks i decided to measure myself and see if there had been any change from day 1 - and lo and behold, i've actually lost an inch on my waist and hips - even with my delinquent nighttime snacking! so how's that for some motivation? plus, i pulled on my fave pair of skinny jeans fresh from the wash and instead of being extra "skinny" like they usually are right after drying, they hang perfectly!
so here i am starting day 4 feeling much more motivated and committed - talk about the power of immediate gratification....
today's breakfast smoothie may just be the yummiest yet:
- 1 pear, cored, skin on
- 1 banana, peeled
- 1 tsp ginger
- pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
- 2 tbsp protein powder
- 1/2 c ice
- water to blend (the book doesn't specifically include this in the recipes so i am making a point of adding it here)
spicy and tangy and yummy! off i go to spend a few hours at the rink watching my son try out for the BC U16 team. i'll take some ryvita and turkey slices to snack and a big mug of tea - today will be a good day!
