All or nothing...

Seems like last night I needed to be held back from getting that 3rd bowl of chocolate caramel brownie ice cream (light!!!! )and I have to admit I always say don't by "lite" foods or why skimp on cheat food anyway, but Target brand Chocolate Caramel Brownie light ice cream had no high fructose corn syrup, less calories and fat than most, so it won the battle. Now, I'm just trying to figure out how to have only 1 serving (1/2 cup!!!...this is really hard work, but I intend to win the battle because the other 2 options are FAT! or No ice cream in the house!! Neither are acceptable options!!

Now today, I can't seem to get enough calories. I had to make myself eat breakfast after working out and going straight to work. And even then I barely had a full serving of high fiber cereal with some fresh strawberries. Lunch wasn't till 3:30 and it was blueberry greek yogurt with some live enzyme sprouted grain cereal in it for crunch. It tasted like yogurt and granola. I'm not hungry, but I definately haven't had enough calories. I've been taking a handful of dried soybeans throughout the day which is probably what's keeping me full. Who knows, I'm off to do a shopping party and god knows that means lots of tastefully simple dip, cheese and brownies! Let's see how much of it I can resist. Think I'm gonnna drink my dinner. First in the form of Naked Super Green Juice (As I read back on the stuff I'm eating...It sounds a little gross, but I have to admit, they have all truly become acquired taste. I really am only thinking about food in as much as I need to remember to have enough. It is still freaking me out a little) But, I digress. I'm sure I'll get my final calories in a glass of wine or two at the shopping party.

Can't remember if I posted much of yesterday. But, when I made lunch for me and Dan, I made 3 servings, so I could have some for lunch. And, since i kept it to small servings, I felt no guilt in the 2 or 2 1/2 servings of ice cream I had watching TV and yapping on the phone. I did miss my workout because just as I was grabbing the weights, the phone rang. Cute boys win over weights and sweating sometimes :) I did get the workout in today. 45 minutes of circuit training while watching Dr. Oz. 90 seconds of heavy cardio followed by 20 reps of upper and lower body combined weighted exercises like lunge presenters, squat kicks, plank moves, etc. I get mine from various fitness magazine and follow them. Sometimes I throw in a few of my own. But the more muscle groups you can use, the better. I'm all about getting the most out of the work out (on most days:)
