Day 7 - April 17th

Wow! One week!! I can't believe how fast this challenge is going!!!! I had a late start on Sunday, but that didn't stop me from being awake with my food selections for the day! Seriously, they are becoming easier and easier every day!

One of my biggest concerns about the 24-day Challenge was I was not able to eat at my favorite restaurants or that I wouldn't be able to eat anything if I did go to a restaurant.

Morning:
(✓) Probiotic Restore Packet
(✓) Spark (Mandarin Orange! YUM!)

So, yesterday, Cole asked me if I wanted to go to my most favoritest restaurant in the world...HuHot!!!!!!! Yum, yum, yum! What's nice about HuHot, is that you can choose your ingredients! (they are all frozen fresh) :)

Here is my Lunch/Dinner:
(✓) Pork pieces
(✓) Broccoli
(✓) Bamboo Shoots
(✓) peas
(✓) asparagus
The sauces were a little tricky because they do not list exactly what is in them. I tried for the ones that did not have added oils and/or soy sauce for less of a salt lick :) I choose their Mongol Mustard & Kung-Pao-Yow. After looking up the ingredients for the Mongol Mustard, I wasn't too happy to find out that there was a LOT of sodium + sugar in the Mongol Mustard. I did not have too many ladles of the sauces on my foods and most of sauce burns off on the grill. I will now know that my favorite "Kung-Pao-Yow" is one of the better selections!

I went up two times, so I had my daily allotment for foods by at least 4:00 p.m. that day :)

All-in-all, it was a good day for choices at the Mongolian Grill! Oooooo, it was so good!!!

Snack: (I was kind of hungry at 9:00 p.m. last night)
(✓) tomato!
(✓) herbal cleanse packet before bed... Oh yeah, and guess what?!?!? This was the last day for the "stinky gerbil packets"! HAHA!! Yes, I said it. I finally put two & two together. The herbal cleanse packet smells like "stinky gerbils"... Oh goodness......

Day 7 was a success & a FEEL GREAT!!! I tell you, I am feeling more confident with what I am wearing, clothes are starting to fit better and my "bluffin' muffin" seems to not want to come out and play! (And it can stay that way!!!)

  1. Did you have any breakfast at all? LOL on the tomato. Just wait until summer I eat tomatoes right from the garden like apples. ROTFLMAO @ stinky gerbil packets. Get used to it. Now you'll have to start singing the "pants on the ground" song as that seems to be what keeps happening to me lately. I've still got to find a swim suit that fits better. I'm baggy in the butt on my size 10.
