Today is Saturday, Jan 12, 2013. Saturday's are usually my day off but I agreed to work for Lindsay so she could visit her newest beautiful neice, my 2nd cousin:) Saturday's at Innovative are usually busy, but I didn't realize how busy. I appreciate Lindsay even more after working for her. I also got the opportunity to see some clients that I have not seen in a while.
I got done with work around 1:30 and headed over to the YMCA. It was very busy, lots of people continuing with their 2013 New Years Resolutions. On my way over to the gym I drank a Blueberry Cranberry Granata Ideal Protien Drink, some fuel for my workout. Remember that the Blue Cran drink has extra Collagen! I walked the track for 10 minutes, rode the bike for 10 minutes and 10 minutes on the Elliptical. After my workout I made some creamed cucumbers.Creamed Cucumbers
-4 cucumbers peeled and sliced
-1/2 white onion
-1/2 Cup Walden Farms Mayo
-1/4 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
-4 packets Splenda
-3Tbsp White Vinager
-1 tsp sweet basil
-Salt and pepper to taste
You can put the creamed cucumbers over shredded lettuce and no dressing is needed. I like to add extra veggies to my salad, green peppers and tomatoes (only 2 times a week)
My afternoon consisted of watching Riley, Robert's 10 year old son play basketball for 5 hours. They ended up winning all of their games, the boys were smiling from ear to ear :) During the games I drank 90 ounces of water. I brought a packet of Ideal Protein Dill Pickle Zippers for the games. The popcorn at the games smelled heavenly, my mouth was watering! Noah had some popcorn and he kept asking me if I wanted just 1 kernel... I had to kick my will power into gear. I just kept chugging water. We had a 30 minute break between one of the games, so I drove to Starbucks and had a cup of black coffee with a packet of French Vanilla Splenda. This helped my craving for the popcorn. I felt like I was getting a little treat with the 3.00$ coffee.
When we got home Robert made me and the boys dinner:) I had a 5 oz Sirloin steak, leftover broccili and cauliflower. I also had bacon wrapped Asparagus, MY FAVORITE!
Bacon wrapped Asparagus
-5 spears of Asparagus
-2 slices of turkey bacon
Clean and break the ends off of the asparagus. Wrap the bacon around the asparagus and hold in place with a tooth pick.
Place in a pan and grill on medium until the bacon is done. Approx 15 minutes.
My day was another success. I am happy that I have stuck to the program. I feel good and I have no guilt because I have not let myself down. No vodka, no wine, no chips and salsa, no cakeballs. My willpower is getting better! I have to keep my blinders up. I know that one B.L.T (bite, lick or taste) will knock me out of ketosis. I also know that life is a slippery slope, If I start to have little cheats here and there, they will turn into big cheats. I know myself well enough that I can't have anything that is not on the program if I want to continue my success.
You can check to see if your in ketosis by purchasing Ketostix at Walgreens, Drug Town or Hy Vee. They are sold in the Diabetic section. Urinate on the tip of the stick in the morning, the color on the stick should turn pink. * http://www.americandiabeteswholesale.com/product/bayer-ketostix-reagent-strips_1640.htm
Tomorrow is going to be another challenging day. Noah has Basketball in Cedar Falls. I cut up some veggies and have some white cheddar ridges for the games. I am also going to bring a packet of Walden Farms for a Subway salad (that is my plan). I also have my Camelbak
Stay Strong! We can do this!
~Until tomorrow, Dusty Marie Swehla
