Happy Fourth of July-Friday 7/4

Good Morning!

I am down .9 this morning! I am happy with that. If I can squeak out another 3.3lbs for this month, I will be even happier! I would love to have a "SHEILA" week and lose 6lbs! Anyway, I will keep plugging along and start adding in the principles of the abs diet today. I am trying to limit things I eat with High Fructose Corn Syrup. I found out that my lite wheat bread has HFCS!! So, I gotta find another and some healthier peanut butter that still tastes like my good ol JIF!!!

I hope you all have a great holiday weekend! Be safe!

Nikki - Congrats on the loss! You are doing such an amazing job!!!!!

I did go on the Abs Diet a few months ago. I found that it wasnt too different from my regular diet (except for smaller portions), so it worked really well. HFCS is really terrible. I try to stick to all natural, organic foods. Sometimes though, they can be pricey. If you have a trader joe's near you, they sometimes have organic foods for much cheaper. NEVER go to a regular supermarket like shoprite or whatever for organic foods cuz they will be so much more expensive. Go to wholefoods/trader joes and buy their home brands. Soda is probably the bigger culprit of HFCS, but i assume you drink diet, so it's ok. HFCS is in a lot of processed foods, so the less frozen meals, the better. I honestly love the abs diet and would go on it vs. JC had i more self control while starting. I can probably start it now, but I want to finish my 6 wks of JC first.

I have been staying within my points range, but have trouble getting in all my dairy and oils. Melissa posting the helpful hints from her mom will really help me.

Hubby wants to go bike riding in a bit so I need to go get ready!
