Food Diary

Yesterday was a good day I think! I started off with my bottled water in the AM and one Healthy Trim Capsule. By lunch (2pm) I still wasn't hungry- but I ate about 3/4 cup of left over stir fry, 1/2 a peach and a couple of cookies. I also had 2 glasses of water.

From there I actually felt a bit in a snacky mood when I got home- which was unusual. I had a couple glasses of water, and that went away. I think that's one trick, when you feel snacky, have a glass of water! The cravings go away!

For dinner I had a boneless pork chop with a bit of apple sauce, and a 1/4 cup of cous cous that I flavored. I also ate a dessert of Key Lime Whipped Yogurt.

I think total calorie count for the day was probably under 1,500! Which is great! one more day til weigh in!

What would you like to know?

I've noticed that there are a few of you visiting my site each day, probably because you're on the fence about Healthy Trim, as am I. I've been happy thus far, but I want to make sure that it can get me where I want to be before I officially endorse it.

I also want to make sure that I'm as up front with all of you as possible! When I was looking into taking Healthy Trim, I was looking online like crazy to see what it was like, and the best thing I could find was a blog with like 3 posts about Healthy Trim. Here, I want to be able to share all of my experiences and help you make a smart decision.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I'd love to hear from you!

Compliments:

What I've heard thus far:

1. My previous manager walked up to me in the hall and asked me what was different about my face- I told her it was probably the tan. From there she said that it looked as though I had lost weight- Oh Yeah!! She doesn't even know that I'm on a diet!

2. One of the women that works down the hall stopped me to say that it looked like my face was slimming out!!! She wants to know that the Healthy Trim will work because she's thinking about taking it too. She went online and ordered a bottle! Woo Hoo!

3. I came back to my building and the girl across from me said she noticed that I am losing weight:) Yipee!

4. My jeans are a little loose!

5. The number on the scale is awesome!

Anniversary Gift

Well today is my anniversary, and I'm back on Healthy Trim- It's great!! I had a 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad. It was perfect size. I had 4 glasses of water with lunch (I get really thirst when I'm eating!)

From there, I enjoyed a bit of stir fry for dinner, with a SMALL slice of cake:)

I probably had close to 10 glasses of water today... patting myself on the back!

So you're probably asking what my anniversary gift was... well it was a gift to myself: I took a step on the scale and saw a NEW NUMBER!!! 228! I'm down 10 pounds, and that's with a vacation in the middle!

Ok where have I been?

I was on vacation all last week, knew I didn't want to keep the diet up, so I decided to skip last week of taking it. I had a date with captain morgan... the good news:

I didn't gain any weight on vacation!! Woo Hoo!!

I tried to make sure that I didn't eat my normal portions, I ate smaller portions, and tried not to snack. I also made sure to get my metabolism going early by eating breakfast, usually yogurt and granola.

Woo Hoo!

An AM Thought

Unfortunately I'm back to work today...

Sad to see the number on the alarm clock, for sure. I've decided to take the capsule as soon as I wake up. Before I was getting up, showering, getting ready and taking the capsule. There was still that temptation to grab something for breakfast on my way out the door, so hopefully this plan will help, I'll update you on that!

Where did that habit go?

Ok so one thing I've noticed is that the capsule is helping me make good decisions. Here's my reasoning:

1. Healthy Trim makes me feel full, to the point where at times when I'm used to eating, I don't want to eat.
2. I know I need to eat, but only want to give my body good things to work on, so I'm eating better (more fresh fruit, yogurts, and veggies!)
3. I'm not snacking! It's very exciting:) I typically don't make smart decisions in the afternoon when I get home from work. I will snack on popcorn, candy, soda, chocolate, etc. But I have stopped. I still feel like I should because it's a habit, but I don't feel like I NEED to (Like I once did)
4. I've substituted a glass of water when I feel the "itch to eat" an afternoon snack.

I'm excited about this habit going away, I would probably consume anywhere from 200-600 calories in an afternoon snack, cutting that out alone, I'll hopefully notice a difference!
