I want to say a big, "thank you" to all of our Meltdown participants for last nights wonderful turnout for our Strength Training class! We had 25 in attendance and our little cowboy was a wonderful DJ playing some pumpin' tunes as we warmed up!
Endurance seems to be the word of the week at our household so I want to take time to answer some questions and/or comments I have received regarding this weeks weigh in.
What are some tips you have prior to weighing in on Friday?
I recommend eating fish for dinner 2 to 3 times a week. It's high in Omega's and it is easily digested. Red meats tend to stay in your system longer and can often times measure a 1-2 pound increase. (Tips from biggest loser blog)
What can I do for my cravings?
For me it depends on the cravings ~ here are a few I use especially when I crave something sweet. You are probably tired of hearing this but I LOVE the 'I scream for ice cream' recipe. I just posted it on the blog last week and I eat that just about every night. I top it with 3-5 of the 100 calorie oreo snack pack cookies to give it a little crunch. It helps me through the evening time when I think I need just a little something. If it's during the day then around 2:30 p.m. I drink a hunger satisfaction crystal light mixed in my water and I eat some
Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal (3/4 cup). It is full of fiber and very filling.
If I have a craving for something crunchy and salty I turn to air popped pop corn or I get one of Orville Redenbacher's popcorn snack packet that you can put in the microwave. It's the perfect amount and it is great when you're craving something crunchy.
I really feel portion control is the key to any craving. It's ok to have something you really want but pay attention to the portion. Kid a kid cone instead of having a full blown Blast or Sundae. The microwave mini cakes are also really great if you have a craving for something sweet. I always go for a 30 minute walk right after I have something that's a little extra in calories or fat.
