Happy Wednesday all! I think I can actually say jogging is getting easier after my 4th jog walk. Today’s activity included a 35 minute jog/walk for C25K1.2 followed up by doing another Hoopla download – Jillian Michael’s Body Revolution back & legs.
I think I am also learning that I get really hungry on days I do weight workouts. Breakfast did a good job keeping me full all AM and my lunch was just OK. It wasn’t until my afternoon snacks that my hunger kicked in.
I tried the Chocolate WW protein stix’s and decided I do not like this was – it’s grainy and almost like eating the protein powder. An hour later, I was starving so I grabbed a zero point apple. Dinner finally satisfied my taste buds and stomach.
My 3 lessons of the day:
1) Keep at it no matter how hard it is, it gets easier – this is true for workouts & eating.
2) Caffeine – omg, since not getting Starbucks daily and not drinking coffee all day, I can’t handle caffeine anymore. My heart has been racing all day since that cappuccino lol.
3) Satisfying your taste buds goes a long way in keeping you satisfied/not hungry. My lunch felt healthy/diety and so did the bar. The meals that stuck with me were the ones I enjoyed – the egg casserole and shells (both amazing the next day).

Night all!
So funny I just tasted that protein stix thing too a sample from my WW meeting and I thought it was awful!
Haven’t tried those yet-guess I won’t. Question-I see you track 2 points for Starbucks latte-when I look it up it tracks as 4 points???? Am I doing something wrong . Thanks

Hi Karen,
I liked the peanut butter Stix but not the chocolate. I get a cappuccino which is only 2 SmartPoints. It’s 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk and 1/3 foam. Lattes are 4 so I do not get them often.
Thanks,
Danica
So funny that you mentioned Hoopla! I love it and hadn’t heard anyone else mention it! It is always funny when you realize how your body changes when you quit giving yourself something like caffeine. Great job on finishing the workout!
