So I found reasonably low calorie snack that I REALLY like. I thought I’d share:
1 Pepperidge Farm Deli Flat
1/2 C fresh strawberries halved or quartered (depending on the size of a strawberry)
1 wedge of Laughing Cow Creamy Swiss Wedge
toast the Deli Flat, spread the Swiss on both halves of the Deli Flat, Spread strawberries over both halves of deli flat. Consume. :D

If you need a smaller snack it’s pretty easy to just toast half of the deli flat & only use half the strawberries & half the Swiss. Jer thought I’d put cream cheese on the Deli Flat instead of a 50 calorie cheese swiss wedge lol. It was better than he thought it was going to be. :D
Also I’m finding an oddity in my BodyMedia. I walk every day to help keep me stretched out, and to get me out of the office for a bit. I get a bit stir-crazy. So I noticed that walking seems to be more consistent and not ‘that’ far off the calorie burn for my kickboxing class.. but let me tell you.. the effort expended in the kickboxing class to me feels a LOT higher. I’m sweating, trying to remember how to breathe etc. I’ve added a screenshot from yesterdays walking & kickboxing class to illustrate the difference. The big difference I guess is I get vigorous workouts in with the kickboxing where as walking is only moderate. With kickboxing I’m usually dripping sweat all over the place. With
walking I don’t normally sweat much until I stop moving.
Anyway yesterday was a successful day. We got through work, cravings, and class without messing up. I did the entire kickboxing class this time instead of having to go sit by the wall in order to catch my breath/avoid passing out. I am having fun, it is hard, and I know I keep saying this, but I totally think this is going to be worth it.
I also think at "some" point on Saturday I need to practice my combinations. Jab, Cross, Hook, Step, Kick type stuff. I think if I can get it down better I can do it faster in class. I'm glad I have the free standing bag at home. It's the same kind they use in class... only shorter. For my purposes though it'll work fantastic for practicing. Sunday I will be doing NOTHING. there will be no exercise planned. There will be nothing probably particularly extrenious planned. Heck if I want to stay in bed all day I may... I probably won't though.
Lets talk about something a little wierd now though. I am not drinking soda, I'm drinking a ton of water, I haven't touched fast food since Monday. But I've been sleeping better in the last couple of days (Tues & Wed for sure), and waking up with more energy. It's not quite such a chore to get my butt out of bed in the morning either. I hope this keeps up. I know it's a bit too soon to be making such assumptions, BUT I'll take it while I can, and hope it keeps up.
