If at first you don’t succeed…
…try, try again.
So they say.
Anyway. Starting Monday, I’m going to try Insanity again. I initially lost 7 pounds, but I’ve gained 4 of them back. I’ve created a meal plan for the entire week, and wrote out my grocery list. I’ve found that I eat better when I have it planned, and I grocery shop better when I have a list. Don’t buy anything that’s not on the list. So this is my grocery list:
soy milk
lean deli-style roast beef
cherry tomatoes
1% cottage cheese
wheat bread
chicken breast
carrots
apple
2 tomatoes
berries (probably strawberries and raspberries)
broccoli
sliced mushrooms
snow peas
reduced sodium soy sauce
chicken broth
sesame oil
cooking spray
whole grain tortillasI also cleaned out the ice tray today. I mean, ice gets freezer burn, and I can taste it when I drink my water…gross. A week or two ago I forgot to turn the ice maker off and there got to be too much ice in the tray and it went bad before I could use all the ice. Even though I have one of those Bobble water bottles (BEST invention in the world…water tastes SO good when it’s filtered through that thing!!), I could still taste the freezer burn from the ice through the filter. I have a large one, and I can seriously drink the whole 34oz in minutes it’s so good.
Also, I think I’m going to make a schedule of times that I need to work out and eat, so I can stay on track. Anyway, I have a lot to do…finish reading my psych text so I can finish the exam, read text for human origins, do my laundry (it’s been like 2 weeks!), go tanning, and go grocery shopping. Oh, and I need to start my 2000 word paper that’s due on Wednesday. Gahhhh. I need to pull my head out of my ass and get going with shit…..
And even though I don’t believe in it, Happy Easter everyone. I have a family gathering of my dad’s family tomorrow for Easter. I highly doubt we’ll go to church..we haven’t done that in years. Probably just grill and chill for a bit.

Good luck! List sounds great. I started my diet yesterday
Good luck with your shopping! Everything sounds tastey
Your list looks yummy; luck on reaching your goals!!!
What’s your paper about?
@Shadowrunner81 - We have to answer a whole bunch of questions regarding what we’ve learned in class. For example, “What do diseases and disease immunity tell us about the interaction between human culture, biology, and the environment? What role has disease played in human history?” That kind of thing. There’s four main parts and we have to write a minimum of 500 words for each section.
It definitely helps to have a plan and buy accordingly. Good luck!
Now I want a galss of ice water..
@crazy2love - Ooooo you can talk about when the Spanish Conquistadors came to the New World and wiped out the native civilzations with the diseases they brought over from Europe. In any case….good luck!
good luck with this
I hear you on the whole ice thing. One bad cube messes up an entire glass/bottle of water.
Good luck! I stink at sticking to plans unless I have someone telling me to get up and go.
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that ice can get freezer burnt, but now that you’ve mentioned it I can totally understand where you’re coming from.
good luck! the meal part is the part that I’m dreading when I think about doing it… but planning in advance is the best idea – that way it will be easy because you’ll have everything set up!
