As most of you know, I really like "The Biggest Loser". The show, the idea, the motivation etc.. we'll I've read a few of the books they've put out and I have their recipe book for families. Well this latest book I've read I liked better than any of the others (so far) and so with September being a new month AND season 8 starting on the 15th I decided to try this diet/exercise program. I think it will be fun to be working along side the contestants and I've never seriously tried a diet before. I started yesterday so that day 7 (rest day) falls on Sunday. It is basically eating healthy and making sure your meals and snacks are complete. Like I usually have an apple as a snack and have learned I need to add a stick of string cheese to it to make the snack more complete. This is actually more food than I usually eat and the biggest change will be switching to healthier alternatives (egg white vs. whole egg, Ezekiel bread vs. white, brown vs. white rice etc.) and a significant decrease in desserts and sugar intake.
This was my first breakfast - blueberries, a homemade egg mcmuffin and milk. I followed Day 1 almost to the letter and thought it was all good and filling. Their exercise program is WAY to easy for me and so I added additional exercises on my own.
I thought I would add this fun picture of Jacob enjoying his very first ice cream cone. This was taken last Tuesday after going to Baskin Robbins to take advantage of their $1 ice cream cone night. I didn't know what to get him, he has never had his own ice cream, only shared ours. Also it was getting close to bed time and I didn't want to load him up on sugar so I got him reduced sugar Oreo cookie ice cream. He loved it!!
