Yeah, I didn't really want to ad...Thanks Stacy! Yeah, I didn't really want to add the potatoes, but I had a lot left over from my last grocery trip that I didn't go to waste. I figured breakfast would be the best place to have them. As far as the Green Goodness goes, I only drink a very small glassful since I know it's full of sugar. I'm a weakling when it comes to carbs, and I know it's been my downfall in getting past the 135 mark. I was at 133 before my mom was hospitalized, but things have gone downhill as far as my enthusiasm goes since then... This must stop!<br /><br />I was going strong the week of my last entry, but then I got sick...UGH. I always *fear* getting sick because my body needs to rest, and then it's hard to fight off the laziness when I'm feeling better.<br /><br />Your entries are motivating me to get going again, and I'm trying to balance working out with my latest obsession with hand lettering. It's so hard to make time to practice and learn more lettering, work a full time job, do freelance work, AND make time to work out lately, but I MUST stop making excuses. It's possible, I just have to make changes (like you said in your last post!) <br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement.

Breakfast is a good time to have carbs, and trust me carbs are your friend. But I would try to trim it down a lot. Especially on potatoes. Potatoes are a starch that does the same thing as refined sugar and white rice... makes you crave more carbs. Try to get the majority of your carbohydrates from vegetables and limit yourself to 1-2 grains a day, and keep them in the earlier part of your day. I'd recommend in the morning for breakfast and then part of your post-workout snack.As for Green Goddess, I love that stuff. It's so yummy. But be careful. A LOT of sugar is in that delicious little drink :( Also, oatmeal is awesome but I'd recommend buying plain oatmeal and adding your own apples and cinnamon. There's a lot of sugar and added fat in flavored oatmeal (plus plain oatmeal is cheaper), which is sad because I have a soft spot for peaches and cream oatmeal...<br /><br />You can do this! You've just hit a plateau, which all of us do especially during this time of year. You are just going to have to find small changes to switch up what you're doing! Keep on going you've got this :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680278746218204438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390101861788767949.post-22102528270278127472013-01-29T23:42:55.205-08:002013-01-29T23:42:55.205-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680278746218204438noreply@blogger.com
