DAY 6-15 - 30 Day Challenge

I must have picked the WORST month to do this challenge! lol
Between my birthday, memorial weekend, 2nd birthday and the impromptu LA trip, I probably haven't eaten this BAD in a long time! Ay yi yi Did I eat really BAD.. a bit, but I am still having the 2 shakes per day. I gained the pound I lost back but was also on the "cycle" so hopefully when I weigh myself next I will not have gained. 
Accountability time!!
Back on track. What is going to be tough is I have some goodbye lunches this week so I think I will have to substitute dinner with a shake a couple nights.
Wish me luck! :-/

30 Day Challenge - Info, Links & More!

• TRY to AVOID high sodium, pre packaged foods, maltodextrin or maltitol, ASPARTAME!, too much dairy and creamy salad dressings. Carbs are my weakness so I try to do whole wheat when possible instead of white bread
• Canned veggies are OK but check the ingredients and try to avoid ones with high sodium.
  
• Get more sleep! 
• Drink more water!
• Shake in AM, and have a fit chew or 2 after, then shake at lunch, fit chew or 2 after - you want something in your stomach every 2-3 hours.
• Take the Metabolism Boost about 30 min before a meal - it will rev up your metabolism to process fats and carbs.
• Snacking has a bad rap! Snacking in between meals is GOOD! Just depends WHAT you snack on. If you are great with self control so if you feel a snack attack go for things on the snack list in the 30 Day Fit Guide. Veggies you can never snack on too much, fruit limit as most are high in sugar but still a great snack, nuts are great too in moderation.

Dinner: Cheerios cereal with low fat milk
Snack: 4 of these peanut butter coconut balls throughout the day (omg so good and "semi" healthy!?), an Oskri coconut dark chocolate bar
Exercise: not really, allergies kickin' my butt!
