Rough Week

Last week was definitely a tough one. I'm trying so hard NOT to give into temptation, and what happens...sales meeting. Ugh!!! That means breakfast (donuts, rolls, coffee), morning breaks (snickers, peanut butter cups, m&ms, gummy bears, twizzlers...need a say more), lunch with dessert (cookies, brownies, and pies), and afternoon snacks (the morning snacks plus any leftover desserts from lunch). I knew that I needed to test my will power but come on! Give a girl a break! I'm barely into my chocoholic program!

I'm sad to say that I have not last any weight this week. Miraculously, I did not gain either. I've decided that since I haven't lost weight, I need to step up the exercise (and yes that is a pun) since I plan to use my stepper throughout the day. I might do it during the commercial breaks when I watch a TV show or for 10 minutes after every 3rd chapter when I'm reading a book. I might even do it during halftime of any sporting event that I watch. Baby steps...ha ha, me and steps. Hopefully this will help with the weight loss.

Also, I plan to try one of Hungry Girl's soup recipes in the next week or so. It is her Hungry Chick Chunky Soup Recipe. A one cup serving size has 150 calories, 1g fat, 570mg sodium, 15g carbs, 4.25g fiber, 5g sugars, 20.5g protein. Also, the recipe is labeled as easy which means even someone with my limited cooking knowledge can do it! I'm really looking forward to trying some of the recipes from the Hungry Girl Cookbook and website. Has anyone tried her recipes? I would love to get your thoughts or any variations you may have done. Thanks!!!
