Wow today is the next to the last day of February. I have totally messed this month up! I got off of my eating goals about February 18th which was my anniversary. We went to Carabba's for dinner. It was soooo good. That weekend was one bad eating decision after another. Pizza on Saturday, Logan's on Sunday, Fun City and Pizza on Monday...yikes! Stop the madness! I am starting fresh in March. I will exercise if it kills me! I will eat right if it kills me! Why is this so hard? I always start off doing well then I tank. I think the difference this time is I keep trying. I have not given up on myself and I am still doing positive affirmations everyday. The negativity that keeps me down...that keeps us all down...is slowly fading. I still have my moments, but I am constantly replacing the negative thoughts with positive ones and it is helping!! I feel more hopeful than ever about getting to a healthy place where I feel and look better. Now I will follow up on a few things...I tried coconut water. Well let me just say I couldn't drink it. It was pretty nasty. It had this horrible after taste. I took a few sips and gave it Dave who can stomach almost anything. He grimaced and said it was really horrible. He immediately got some water. I was really hoping I would like it! Oh well, I will just continue to take my vitamin B complex to boost my metabolism and pray it works, So while I was in GNC buying the coconut water, I sampled their new Omega 3 and calcium supplements. They are both in chewable form and they were both pretty good. The Omega 3 looks like an orange starburst, but it a bit more tart than that plus the texture is different, but for being fish oil it was really good. The calcium is caramel flavored and tastes really good, as well. The Omega 3 soft chews are 19.99 for 50 and the calcium chews are 7.99 for 75 chews. I would gladly pay 20 bucks for the Omega 3 chews because they left no after taste and I wasn't burping fish oil (which is nasty) 30 minutes later. Does anyone shop the Target food aisles? ( I wish we had a SuperTarget!) Target actually has some pretty good snacks that are low in calories and sugars. I found some puffed popcorn that is so good. It comes in two flavors--caramel and jalapeno cheddar. The caramel is 160 calories for 2 1/2 cups and contains 6g of sugar. I know we're not supposed to eat anything that is over 5g of sugar per serving, but this popcorn is so good when you want a sweet treat. The jalapeno cheddar is savory and has 150 calories per 2 1/2 cup serving and only 3g of sugar. Both flavors are only 2.94 a bag.The next time you're in Target, check it out. Alright, I will end this here, but I will keep everyone posted in the coming month about my progress. I am excited about the Spring coming so maybe I can get outside and workout. Thanks for reading everyone. Wish me luck!!
