Resurfacing

Yikes. It's been awhile. Sorry folks.

I won't recap everything but I did veer away from my goals - who has not come across a time like that? - Time to come back. This is for food, which can be so much fun and challenging at the same time. I spent 4 weeks exercising was not seeing anything. 5lbs water weight sure. But I was discouraged, until I realized (after that sad phase) I hadn't looked at what and how I was eating. Rookie mistake. Working on it.

Nutrition is not something I studied or even really paid that much attention to when in school. I should have as I know the basics, i.e. bread = carbs = starch. I am lacking in knowledge on the stuff in the middle, application, etc. However, I do know the basic idea that chocolate is not an all important food group and my closet addiction to Diet Coke (don't go there, I know) does not help. Thus, I will try to improve on when I crave a Dt. Coke to grab water instead. I'm keeping it simple. Also, you can have my Dt. Coke but nobody touches my chocolate. Ever.

I am really stoked about how to find alternative ways to satisfy my cravings. Because when THAT time of month rolls around this chic will turn into a three headed Hydra if there is no intake of chocolate. Honestly, many have tried and many have fallen. The alternative, which is where the "stoked" part comes in is this wonderful blog spot!  Two Peas & Their Pod - many many kudos for 2 Ingredient Banana Peanut Butter Ice Cream. I tried it, and am use this as my base. My current concoction is the base from the blog with unsweetened cocoa, a few drops of vanilla extract and vanilla yogurt. The reason I added the yogurt is mainly because once I have one serving I tend to want another. Not sure why but I rarely buy it. When I do buy vanilla yogurt, it does not stick around for long. I will have to follow up with another post or edit so stay tuned.

Currently I am sticking with aerobics, and I do count when I do a deep clean. Deep clean for me is removing almost anything that I can lift or move by myself then wiping/cleaning every surface. This mainly applies to kitchen and living room but trust me when I say "feel the burn baby!"

Tata for now!
