So, my next assessment is at the end of the month. And even though I'm NOT going to stress or become obsessive (as is my usual M.O.) but I am going to work hard and be more on the strict side. Which means I'm going to do my best to have NO CHEAT DAYS!! I have a friend who is going to be doing it with me and we'll be able to be support each other.
Today was a great day! I bought new sneakers and boxing gloves (Sean has plans to use them in future workouts...) and then I went to the grocery store and stocked up on fruits and healthy snacks. Isn't the summer great? So many yummy healthy options...
But now I need your help... I'm getting tired of my food routine. I need some new ideas (and please keep in mind that I don't really cook). I'm looking for some healthy, high protein snacks and some new meal ideas. The only big restriction is that I don't eat white flour or other processed carbs...
Thanks guys! Happy Monday!

How fun...new sneakers and boxing gloves! Bet you can't wait to get to the gym. ;) Actually, buying new stuff motivates me to get in there and try it out.
No cheat days...one month...you can do it! And even better that you have a partner to do it with you because you can help each other stay on track.
Some high protein ideas...Have you ever tried the Kashi Go Lean cereal? 1 cup has 13g protein, although I'm not really sure if that has white flour or processed carbs. What about almonds...I saw this new brand/flavor of almonds in a magazine and found them at the grocery store...they're awesome. Awesome because they are dark chocolate flavored and I LOVE chocolate! Even better because they have the same nutritional value as plain almonds. These new almonds I found are the brand Emerald, called Cocoa Roast Almonds.
Thanks for the great ideas!
I often use Kashi Go Lean cereal -- I put it into Light&Fit yoogurt. And almonds and craisins are a fave snack of mine... I'll have to check out the chocolate flavored ones :)
Someone else suggested greek yogurt... Has anyone else tried it?
Those little string cheese sticks have become a lifesaver for me. And I am addicted (like crack) to my snack mix of peanuts, raisins, and semisweet chocolate chips. :-)
Greek yogurt = instant spit-take. I did NOT like it. It was both a texture and a taste thing for me. But, some people love it, so try it once and see which camp you're in.
Thanks, Stef!
Maybe I should have a video camera on me when I try it and then I can post the results... that would make for an amusing entry.
Have a good one!
