Hi Everyone! I just wanted to check in to see how the challenge is going in your neck of the woods? Maybe you think it’s too early to tell? If you are anything like me, getting started is the hardest part. So, this is why I decided to check in and at least share what’s going on in my world.

Day 1 – May 1st went easier than I expected! I decided to drink protein shakes during work and have a light dinner meal when I got home. Since it was a busy day, time went by quickly. What I find so ironic about the offices here in Miami, they are kept at a FREEZING temperature. While it’s hot and humid outside, in the office, I’m wrapped up in a winter-weight fleece jacket zipped all the way to my neck. So my decision to drink protein shakes all day wasn’t the greatest idea I ever had in my life! LOL! Like I mentioned earlier, the day went by quickly, so I was able to thaw out on my ride home in the evening.

Dinner was quick and easy. My husband wanted a grilled chicken sandwich from Wendy’s, so I ordered a half-sized grilled chicken salad with avocado. I was surprised since the salad was small, I still wasn’t able to finish the entire thing. The salad clocked in at under 300 calories, so not a bad choice overall.

With Day 1 done, it was onto Day 2 – Today!! I will tell you, today WAS A CHALLENGE!! My company decided to buy us lunch today. So what was for lunch? PIZZA!! UGGGHHHH!! There were 6 pies loaded with tons of toppings. How do I know this? People kept coming by my desk to remind me to get something to eat with their loaded pizza slices in hand!! Yes, I did even peek inside one of the boxes, but the sight of the pizza didn’t trip me! It was the SMELL that me CRAZY!! ( Well, crazier than usual) Family, it was TOUGH!

Even though I have not eaten pizza now for the past 7-8 years, the smell was so overpowering. It lingered in the air for hours!! Thankfully, I did get through it. I had my trusty Premier Protein shakes and to add a little variety to my day, Cyrstal Light orange flavor to regular drinking water.

DEAL ALERT: Publix Supermarket has Crystal Light on sale – Buy 1 Get One FREE this week! It’s a great opportunity to stock up AND save some money!

Cyrstal Light Classic Orange
For the times when you simply cannot drink another cup of plain water

The Crystal Light was so refreshing and delicious.   There’s something happy about orange flavor foods and beverages, not to forget how fantastic the fruits are too!

For Dinner, we had a nice Rotisserie Chicken with an interesting Brussel sprout slaw-inspired salad from The Fresh Market. My Husband didn’t like the salad. He prefers to eat Brussel sprouts oven roasted and warm, rather than in a cold salad.  I enjoyed the salad and found it was a unique blend of tart and mildly sweet which came from the cranberries that were mixed in.

So that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Let me know how you are doing and what’s been working or even what you find difficult. We can talk it through and help find some more ways to keep focused.

Take Care, be well and stay tuned!

  7. Hey there 🙂

    Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
    (and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)

    I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like
    yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.

    Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself
    during the coronavirus scare!
