21 Day Weight Loss Challange ~ Journal Day 6 #21mbc

Today has been another good day here in my household.  I only ate the food that I had planned out & if I did start to feel slightly hungry I grabbed a handful of almonds & a cup of water.  I also kept myself busy all day long & didn't sit down until now.  It may be too soon to say for sure, but I think that even the kids are noticing a difference in me.  The kids both wanted to play their Just Dance kids game on the Wii, they were shocked that I too joined in the dance moves.  Andrea my oldest thought I was nuts at first but by the end of the game she was smiling ear to ear.  Alexis my youngest is such a great motivator as well.  When I was trying to get some of my strength training in this evening she thought she would make a game out of it & I had to see how many bench press's I could do with her before dropping her on the couch.  Needless to say I think we will all sleep well tonight.

FOOD JOURNAL

Well I have to admit I accidentally tossed my paper with the times that I ate the following items, so you won't see the times listed.  Thankfully however I remember all the food eaten.

~   64 oz water

~ 3/4 Frosted Mini Wheat

~1/8 raisins

~1 C low fat cottage cheese

~ large salad ( I did not have time to measure the items out today, but it was a large bowl with lettuce, spinach, sweet pepper, raisins, dates, tomatoes, chicken, Italian dressing)

~ 2 handfuls almonds

~ 1 cup left over chicken soup, 2 c left over steamed veggies from earlier in the week

~16 oz 1% milk

Exercise

Today I focused on working out my arms for strength training. Bench pressing my kids, swinging them on my arms (arm curls)   I also played with the kids while they danced to their Just Dance game for at least 35 minutes.
