Day 13/ 17 DD

When I woke up today I decided I didn't want to weigh myself, nor did I want to count calories...
I ended up not weigh in today, but did count calories.
I had a look at my new Tosca *Stripped* book last night and she says * Don't count calories *
Now that is going to be a hard one for me to do as I find counting calories ( before it was Points ) it gave me an idea where I was daily ~ can't see myself not counting calories...even if its just vaguely and not too strict, as counting something, gives me an idea of where I am in the day...

I had a good day eating wise.

Egg and fruit with yogurt for breakfast
Green shake for snack
Left over Turkey and Veggies for lunch with apple
Caramel coffee ( for energy before a run ) and probiotic drink for snack
Mackerial Fish and salad for dinner

I drank 3 cups of green tea
8 glasses of water
1 coffee
1 caramel coffee

I did a Kettlebell upper body workout this morning for 40 mins.
Worked with the heavier weight that arrived this week so felt it..and loving the workout
Then late afternoon my 2 neighbors and I did a 8.46 Km run ( 5.2 miles )

Tomorrow is going to be a huge challenge for me
My neighbor has a birthday and I've been invited over for a BBQ
now there will be cake and pudding...and I will have to see how I cope with that situation.
I have reached my goal weight on day 11 of the 17 DD, so thinking I could have a small portion of one but not both and then continue the plan till the 17 days is over...should be okay..

I do have a run planned tomorrow morning before the BBQ....burn the calories :)

  1. Eat BEFORE the BBQ and have a spoonful of this or that!!!! Easier said than done! GOOD JOB on your day. Is there a kettle DVD you would recommend OR do you do it to music?!? Is there a program on Amazon you would recommend? It sounds like something I would like for muscle toning. Have a great Sunday.

  3. I was so torn when I decided to stop counting and logging my food. I still struggle with it sometimes, but if you stick with the same plan you always have and serving sizes you will be fine.

    I love your runs!! I did 3.68 yesterday in the rain, it was nice.
