Make frozen smoothie packs every Sunday to last the whole week. When you’re ready to enjoy a smoothie just pick a bag and blend! Simple and quick. I used to do something similar to this. Time to get back in the habit!

two month challenge: week 6

Day 39: What has been the hardest thing you’ve had to give up?

Probably soda because I’m used to drinking it so much and it’s still there every time I open the fridge. So hard. Especially when I start getting a caffeine headache. It’s much easier to drink a soda than to make a pot of coffee.

Day 38: What do you generally order if you have to eat out at a restaurant?

Something smaller if I can. I try to avoid anything that’s fried or has a lot of cheese or butter, a ton of carbs, things like that. If the portions are huge like a lot of places, I just eat a quarter of the food or half of it and save the rest for later or share it with someone else. I don’t really eat anything specific it just depends on where I’m at.

Day 37: What do you wear when you go swimming/to the beach?

Well, I have a bikini because I literally cannot buy a one piece that fits because I’m so top heavy. However, I generally avoid swimming with anyone aside from really close friends because I hate other people seeing my body. I tend to “forget” my bathing suit a lot.

Challenge: Focus on one area of your body and work hard on it everyday of the week. Definitely picking legs.

Day 36: What’s one item of clothing you’d love to wear after losing weight?

Mini Dresses. For fucking sure. Or high waisted jeans/shorts.

Day 35: Do you mainly do cardio, strength training, or both?

Well right now I’ve just been doing the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga & 30 Day Shred. So I guess, both? After 30 DS I’ll probably combine cardio and strength pretty equally just because I wanna tone & lose weight still.

healthyisclassy:

At Breakfast

• Ditch the Pop-Tart for a slice of high-fiber toast with strawberry jam.
• Gotta have carbs? Split a bagel with a coworker.
• Drink your two cups of joe black. Or order a single espresso instead of your usual latte.
• Swap OJ for the real deal—one fresh orange.
• Trade a side of regular sausage for turkey.
• Top your waffles with Reddi-Whip instead of syrup (or use sugar-free).
• Skip the whip on any Caribou Coffee 16-ounce drink.
• Eat your granola from a 4-ounce mug, not an 8-ounce bowl.
• Lose the Yoplait Thick & Creamy and have a Yoplait Fiber 1.
• Order pancakes, but hold the butter.
• Scramble together 4 egg whites instead of 2 whole eggs.

At Lunch

• Leave the Swiss cheese out of your sandwich.
• Slather your bread with mustard rather than mayo and save 80 calories per tablespoon.
• Pass up croutons at the salad bar.
• Use up to 10 pumps of ranch dressing spray instead of pouring 2 tablespoons from a bottle.
• Devour a slice of Pizza Hut cheese pan pizza instead of the meat lover’s variety.
• Take your iced tea unsweetened.
• Reach for a Snapple raspberry white tea instead of a Snapple raspberry iced tea.
• Stuff chicken salad into a whole-wheat pita instead of between slices of multigrain bread.
• Make your burger turkey, not beef.
• Slurp minestrone soup instead of cream of anything.
• Go bunless—shed your hamburger roll.
• Use south-of-the-border savvy: Have a quesadilla made with two 6-inch corn, not flour, tortillas.

On Your Snack Break

• Drink sparkling water instead of soda.
• Move your stash of Hershey’s Kisses at least 6 feet away from your desk—you’ll dip in half as often.
• Drain the heavy syrup from your can of fruit cocktail and then rinse the fruit with water before digging in.
• Have 1/2 cup of fresh grapes instead of that little snack box of raisins.
• Lay off the Lay’s Classic potato chips and have a handful of Rold Gold pretzels.
• Munch on a bag of Orville Redenbacher’s Smart Pop Kettle Korn, not Movie Theater Butter.
• Chase down the ice-cream truck for a Good Humor vanilla sandwich, not a King Cone.

During Dessert

• Stop eating when you hit the crust. The edges and bottoms of baked goods are especially caloric because they absorb the butter used to grease the pan.
• Fill your bowl with sorbet instead of ice cream—you can have an extra 1/2 cup of the former and still slash calories.
• Next time a cocoa craving hits, ditch the dish of chocolate ice cream (about 3/4 cup) for a Fudgsicle.
• Have sugar-free Jell-O instead of pudding. Better your nighttime treat jiggle than your thighs.
• Go ahead and have that piece of birthday cake—just scrape off the chocolate frosting first.
• Eat 5 meringue cookies instead of 2 chocolate chip ones.
• Pass on the à la mode and savor that brownie au naturel.
• Can the cone. Have your ice cream in a bowl.
• Top your dessert with 1/2 cup of fresh berries instead of 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup.

In the Kitchen

• Substitute nonfat Greek yogurt for a serving of sour cream.
• Use chicken broth (low-sodium is best) instead of oil to sauté meat and veggies.
• Making homemade mac ‘n cheese? Cut 2 tablespoons of butter from the recipe.
• Replace the oil or butter in cakes with Sunsweet Lighter Bake prune-and-apple mixture or any brand of unsweetened applesauce.
• Next time you make meatballs, meatloaf, or burgers, go half-and-half with ground beef and turkey.
• When preparing packaged foods that call for butter or oil, like rice and stuffing, use a broth instead.
• Swap low-fat cottage cheese for whole-milk ricotta when you make lasagna or stuffed shells.

At the Drive-Thru

• Pass up a Wendy’s baked potato with sour cream and chives and chow down on value fries instead. Amazing but true.
• Have a McDonald’s cheeseburger instead of a Quarter Pounder with cheese.
• Downsize your drink: Trade a large fountain soda (with ice) for a medium.
• Go for grill marks. Order a flame-broiled chicken sandwich rather than one that’s breaded (and usually fried in oil).
• Treat yourself to an ice-cream cone at McDonald’s instead of Dairy Queen.
• Crunch on one Taco Bell regular taco instead of a Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco. And all the hot sauce you want.
• Slurp a cup of Panera Bread’s low-fat chicken noodle soup instead of the cream of chicken with wild rice.
• Make your daily pick-me-up at Starbucks a skinny vanilla latte, not a regular.

When You’re Not Cooking

• Request the lemon chicken with white rice, not fried.
• Skip the crunchy noodles with your bowl of wonton soup.
• Ask for an order of Szechuan Shrimp instead of your usual General Tso’s.
• Choose the pasta with 1/2 cup of marinara instead of 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce.
• Indulge your inner carnivore with beef stroganoff, not meat lasagna.
• Go with the baked potato (butter only), not the mashed, as your side of choice.
• Dip your dinner roll in marinara sauce instead of olive oil.
• Avoid anything breaded. Flour and bread crumbs not only add calories but also absorb more cooking oil.

Day 34: Will you continue with your same exercise routine once you reach your ultimate goal weight?

I dunno. I don’t really have a set routine anyways, so it’s hard to say. I’ll definitely keep exercising and probably just keep switching things up like I do now.

Day 33: Will you continue to count your calories once you reach your ultimate goal weight?

Well I don’t really have an ultimate goal weight, but I’ll probably always count calories a little. I mean, if I just stopped and went back to where I was before, then I would just gain my weight back. So, yea, I guess.

just finished 30 DS for tonight.

Day 32: What is your weakness/one food you just can’t say no to?

Probably just beef in general. I’ve tried to cut out beef before, I was going to attempt being a pescetarian but it’s just way too hard for me to cut out beef not only because that makes up most of my protein, but because I don’t like chicken to replace it with, and my parents eat soooo much beef. So yea, beef, although, I have been eating the correct portions and getting lean beef and trimming all fats off whenever possible. So that’s better I suppose.
