Aly, Olivia, Oscar, and I just got home from a nice little 2 mile walk! We are loving having the green belt right outside of our apartment. I mean who wouldn't want to take a nice afternoon walk along this beautiful trail?!
P.S. What has everyone else been doing to get ready for the 5k? I feel like it is time for me to step up and try a little jog instead of a daily walk. Thoughts?
James, Aly, and I are all going strong on our "no sugar" cleanse. Yes it has only been a week, but I am feeling very optimistic! Is any one else doing this that I don't know of? The only sugar I have craved the last few days has been for a Dr. Pepper... and that's a heck of a lot better than the row of Oreo's I ate not too long ago. :) I was talking to Aly about what kind of snacks I could eat when I get a sugar craving or to keep myself from getting overly hungry. She had a lot of good suggestions. All I can say is I am in love!
First with light thick and creamy strawberry yogurt! (I like the thick and creamy because it doesn't have the gross little chunks of fruit in it haha) This cup only has 100 calories in it, and it totally satisfies my cravings. Aly told me that she adds a little bit of granola to her yogurt, I have been adding just a little bit to my cup the last few days and it is delicious!
Next is my VERY favorite, again, this was suggested by Aly. Frozen grapes! Yum! We bought a bag of grapes two days ago, put them in the freezer in a bowl over night and they were all gone by last night. James, Aly, and I, along with some of the sells reps ate them all up while playing Wizard last night. The thing I love about these is that they kind of remind me of eating a popsicle. I love eating frozen things on a summer day. I also love the idea of just putting them in a bowl in the freezer because I can just grab a couple quickly, a good munchie treat throughout the day.
What are your favorite healthy snacks?
I LOVE frozen grapes!! So good! Also, I don't know if you're a huge fan of vegetables, but I am so this is what I do. Usually when I buy them if I don't put them into individual baggies then I won't eat them. It makes it so much easier to just grab and go. And I actually remember that I have them. It takes a little time to do, but I think it's worth it!
