Well I made the crock pot poridge from the cookbook. It's good but I decided to not have my coffee this morning (my bad treat every day) and put the sucanat sugar on the oat meal along with the Tbs of cream. I figure I'm not to far off track. The poridge is good but not sweet enough for me. I make it every day but with more just oatmeal and dates. This recipe is full of stuff. It has rye flakes, steel cut oats, cracked wheat, wheat germ, dates, rasins ( I used cranraisins). Try it it's good.
Have a wonderful day

I had one or two small slip ups during the week and didn't get in enough cardio but overall I'm very pleased with 1st week. I'm trying to take the advice of others and not step on the scale to often but old habits die hard. Thankfully when I last stepped on I was down 2lbs! I was pleased to see that! I did have a bout of detox on day 3 and 4 but that seems to have passed now and I have noticed my energy level has skyrocketed since. So far so good. Onward and upward to week two.

So I turned 30 yesturday, not such a big deal to me. I look in the mirror and I see a lean, healthy body, pretty damn good for a 30 year I think. Well anyways I spent the entire day obsessing in my head over how I was going to convince my hubby that we were not going to go out for dinner and no special dessert was needed. But what happens instead is I had a very busy stressful day and by the time he got home from work it was already past our normal dinner time the kids were getting cranky etc. He says "pizza"? I say "sure". I usually don't beat myself up over pizza because I can usually limit myself to one slice. But lastnight, nope, 2 1/2 slices. To make matters worse my mother shows up with cake and ice cream. Well, I've already sabatoged myself I think, "what the hell?" so down goes a slice of cake and ice cream. At the end of the night I'm bloated, uphappy at my lack of self control and frustrated. Why do I always do this to myself? I know better.
Anyway today is a new day and actually a new year for me. I don't want to feel guilty everytime I decide to have a small cheat, I just want to feel happy that I have the control to limit myself.
Now deciding what kind of workout I can do to burn the most calories. Another motivating factor is my Insanity workout DVD's I ordered for my own birthday present have been shipped and are on there way!

I spent the last week prepping for the ECD. I made sure to have a written plan for eating and exercising. I completed all my grocery shopping for the first week give or take a day or two. I am finally ready with a plan now I just have to execute. I really good at planning...Its the execution that seems to get me. However I have a plan for this as well. I scheduled the alarm on my phone to go off every 3 hrs to remind me of meal times and to remind me when its time to workout. Well it's been a good day..time to relax and sleep.

Today is the Jewish new year and my new year's resolution is fine tune my clean eating, give up my filthy habit of smoking, successfully complete my personal trainer course and be the fittest I've ever been.
After 23 years of smoking and several failed attempts at kicking the habit it's time for a change. But I'm completely petrified. I know I've got loads of awful withdrawal symptoms to look forward to, so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for me. It's a shame that I can't fully enjoy the benefits of clean eating while I'm still filling my body with toxins!
