Day 6 - Finish Strong

Who Dat?

FINISH STRONG - I am going to adopt the motto of the New Orleans Saints. Finish Strong. I will FINISH STRONG this week.  The Saints won the Superbowl SO I can win at weight loss.

I am half way through the first week. It has been a lot of fun. Yesterday, I went to the grocery store to stock up on veggies. I bought sweet potatoes, zucchini, squash, broccoli and bell peppers. I plan to mix and match these veggies with the spinach, salad and mushrooms already in the fridge.

One fast solution for getting your daily veggie supply (5/day) is a veggie pita. I toss 1 tablespoon of oil with 1/2 cup of broccoli slaw, 1/4 cup of sprouts, 2 cucumber slices and a dash of salad seasoning. Add the veggie mixture to a pita and voila. You will have a delicious veggie pita for lunch. Serve the pita with a cup of low sodium/fat soup for a nutritious and filling lunch. You can also use one serving of wheat bread.

Tip:  Try Hellman's low fat mayo. I find that it beats other brands in the fat/calorie count.

Action:  I was tired and stressed out yesterday but I dragged myself to Curves. I managed to make it through the circuit a few times. I ended the day by taking a long walk with the dog.

When I am tempted to skip my workout I will remember to FINISH STRONG. I am going to tape a piece of paper with FINISH STRONG on my bathroom mirror.  I challenge you to do the same.

To my fellow warriors in the battle against the bulge...live life to the fullest, pray without ceasing, laugh loud and often and MOST IMPORTANT. Be good to yourself.

Peace and best wishes for a Veggie Good Day,
