Re: 5 lb challenge - Tuesday
Food - 4
Activity - 1
Motivation - 4
Does anyone eat Puffins (cereal, not bird)? They're one pt per serving and have TONS of fiber. I just eat them dry in the morning and find I'm totally satisfied until lunch.
Loss - 2 of 5; 2 of 35
Have a wonderful day!

Food - 5 - ate the exact # of my daily pts
Activity - 1 - the most activity I had was cleaning. I had to vacuum and clean the bathrooms and didn't have time to sit down until 9:30 last night. I plan on working out tonight.
Motivation - 4
Thanks for the rec on the Puffins cereal. I haven't tried that. I've been having Chocolate Cheerios in the morning (and when my dh complained about the sugar I proved to him that it has less sugar than his raisin bran, lol). I am looking to branch out to other things for breakfast - I'm getting tired of cereal.
I've noticed that my pants are definitely fitting better and that I'm feeling a lot better in general. I feel like I have a TON more energy - I think it's a combination of eating better foods and incorporating the exercise into my routine.
