Week 1 Reflection

Week 1 is over for our 12 week body transformation challenge and it definitely had it's ups and downs. The week started off awesome! I was feeling great and thought I totally owned this thing and then the weekend came...and it was hard. The weekends are the hardest because it's out time to have fun and eat! Well that hasn't helped me in the past so I am trying to eliminate cheat meals on the weekends. Saturday I stayed real busy and packed all my food for the day. I got my hair done, which ladies you all know is an all day process!
Here is what my day packed food included:

• an apple and a protein shake with water
• a container with salad, a container with 1/2c black beans and some salsa, and a packet of white albacore tuna (makes a great, quick salad)
• 2 tbs. peanut butter and celery sticks

That's everything I ate while I was out for the day and came home later for dinner. It kept me on track and helped me avoid buying food while out. It wasn't until Sunday evening that I was really craving sugar. I fought through the cravings and all day today I did great until tonight when all I wanted was some fruit or honestly frozen yogurt! I know I won't give in it's just a lot of hard work. The cheat meals I would have on the weekends really kept me sane during the week on my diet and now eliminating cheats is making it difficult but I have $10K to try to win and a wedding right around the corner so I am going to fight through the cravings and I will definitely have to start getting creative with recipes to keep me on track!
