Peppermint Mocha!
Ok, so my legs don’t hurt as bad as I thought they would today after yesterday’s workout. I guess I am healing faster? I definitely did as much as I could and pushed myself more having someone else there to motivate and challenge me. Normally I don’t run or do any other cardio on leg day and then the day after is a rest day, no workout. But results aren’t coming like I think they should be. I think I am plateauing again or something and I haven’t lost any more weight, so I decided to run today. I watched the diet closely as well, I am having a hard time getting 5-6 small meals in. I am not that hungry now that I have upped my protein and I am drinking a lot more water. Maybe all I need is a change of some of the foods I eat for some new variety in the diet?? Right now i eat a lot of chicken, tuna, eggs,oatmeal, wheat bread, soy protein shakes (that taste like chalk, but they are high in protein so I drink them with milk) and salad. This diet combination has really helped me eliminate cravings for candy, desserts and carbs in general. I never thought it would be this easy to pass them up. I am normally a dessert FREAK, I can eat dessert instead of dinner, or any meal, anyday…But lately I don’t crave it at all. That’s unbelievable for me :)
…I still drink coffee though, and I just found some Peppermint Mocha coffee mate creamer at the store. It is seasonal and only around during the holidays. I had forgotten all about it but I really like it and have been drinking it for a couple years now. When you put it in your coffee, it is so much like the $5.00 Peppermint Mocha version at Starbucks that you can’t tell the difference! For Real! If you’re a coffee drinker and like peppermint–give it a try.
