PFP Week 3 Update


Hello everybody!

My progress for the week:
I avoid mentioning it on the blog beforehand, but I actually was out of town from Wednesday through today. For the roadtrip I packed healthy snacks like crackers with peanut butter, apples, Kashi bars, popchips, and a reusable water bottle I refilled many times. I could have made better fast food choices, but it's hard to eat a salad or chili while driving. My mom and I walked miles and miles around wedding venue options, so that counts as my exercise this week! Seeing myself in wedding dresses made me realize I need to add arm exercises to the regimen, too.

Debbie's progress:
Same weight but feel this is an accomplishment after all the incredible food on our NY trip!
Walked today even though it was my bday and I had just gotten home!
I promise tomorrow begins sit ups!

Menu plan for the week:
Just got back in town, need to regroup, then I'll edit this

Tip of the week:
One of my problems, which I know some of you have as well, is late night snacking. I will do great during the day and then add a lot of excess calories with snacking before bed. Something I've found that helps is brushing my teeth a little while after dinner. This leaves a minty, clean feeling in my mouth which deters me from wanting to eat. Also, I'm lazy and I know I won't want to make the effort to have to re-brush my teeth if I eat. Try it and see if it works for you too!

I am so behind with updates to you!

I lost 1 pound last week, but 6 pounds for the month - not bad!

Sounds like a great idea! I normally drink tea and it takes the craving away but I'm gonna try your idea!
