First, let me tell you what my work out game told me yesterday! I dunno if insulting is a shock method they use, but boy... I was kick boxing along, doing great in my opinion. As I have said, I have about as much coordination as a drunk on stilts! As I was giving myself a proverbial pat on the back, my trainer says, "If you keep this up, you'll be a biggest loser in no time!!". Excuse me, Sir? Obviously you know nothing about me. Maybe this workout is a little too light for me. Sir, I have been a loser all of my life! ;o) Anyhow, my kids and I about DIED laughing. We are still laughing.
Diana's 'Been there, done that' words of advice-
- Not just any yogurt will do! I made the mistake of buying a high carb/high sugar yogurt. Because it was 'Plain', I thought it automatically must not have any sugar... because it SURE doesn't taste like it! Well, they say to try to keep your sugar content below 5. After a good 20 minutes in the yogurt isle at Wally World, the best yogurt I could find was 'Yoplait Fiber One' in the little cups. I add 1/2 c of blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries.
- Watch what fruit you buy! The first go around I bought frozen berries, that had 'liquid sugar' in the ingredients. Buy the 'no sugar added' type.
- They say not to drink tea with sugar substitute. That's why I ended up going with the capsules, since I detest green tea!
- I was advised not to use the Jimmy Dean Low Fat turkey sausage links. However, I have not had a problem eating them. They are easy and fast to make, something I need in this life.
- This is probably considered a no-no, but when I crave junk food, I chew a piece of 'Extra Sugar Free Gum' in the dessert flavors. My personal favorite is the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, and the Key Lime Pie. Seriously, it tastes like the real thing!
