The Flat Belly Diet

FBD - Day 8

Man I'm loving this diet!! I've been very good sticking to the meal plans every day. I've starting to try the recipes little by little because I love the jump start plan so much! Tonight I had to Boca Tacos: Boca meatless crumbles, wheat tortillas, spinach leaves, salsa and avocado (your MUFA). I wasn't sure about the Boca crumbles, but they were delicious! And so quick to make! The recipe says you can have FOUR tacos, and I could only eat three! How awesome is that!?

On the side, my favorite Trainer (and manslice!) Brian has given me some extra pointers & workouts at the gym, chats with me about the diet and generally keeps me focused and motivated. Laura is doing well also and being good about being strict. Being able to chat with her and my mom about the different recipes, etc. has really been beneficial for staying on track!!

I'm feeling very happy about this folks!! We still have 22 days to go! Wish me luck!

And PS - I'm addicted to the Sassy Water! It's delish! And all the dark chocolate!!!!!!!! ;o)

Sunday Fun Day!

There is nothing I love more then spending the day shopping and hanging with my mom! She is my truly my best friend and someone I can talk to anyone about. It was great spendin time with her just bombing around Buffalo and showing her everything in my "life" up here. We even toured the gym! lol Our day was full of shopping, chatting and joking! We scoured the sales and found good things for us both!

We even had two FBD meals during the day! First we had breakfast tacos with scrambled egg whites, avocado, tomatoes & laughing cow cheese! They were super delicious!! For dinner I had two pieces of talapia with green beans and sauteed squash! And yes we had our sassy water too! :o) So I can officially say that this weekend, Day 6 & 7 of the Flat Bell Diet, have been a great success!

I love you Mom!! I'm so happy we got to spend the whole day together, just us girls! :o)

Side Note: The girls and I made another FBD meal Saturday night - Asian Stir Fry! YUM! We had shrimp, veggies, peanuts, chicken, egg and brown rice with low-sodium soy sauce!! IT WAS DELISH!!

PS – I Love You & Sex and the City

So I finally watched both these movies to see what all the talk was about. Laura and I had a girl’s night last night and watched PS – I Love You. What a tear jerker!! I won’t divulge any details incase you haven’t seen it, but watch it with a box of tissues! It really makes you realize you need to appreciate the here and now! Oh and there are some handsome manslices to oogle over! :o)

As I side note: I got PS – I Love You from Redbox at the local grocery store! Has anyone ever tried these? THEY ARE AWESOME!! It only cost me $1 to rent the movie! You use your credit card to retrieve the movie, and as long as you have it back by 9pm the next night, you’re only charged $1! I am so going to start using this more often!


Sex and the City had me shedding a few tears as well. There was one part I was very disappointed in and wished would have been different. So upsetting! The girls were a little more quirky than on the show, but I’m sure it was to please the TV crowd that followed them season after season. All in all, it was good though.

Both were total chick flicks and I advise you’re in that type of mood before you watch. Tonight I plan on going back to the Redbox for GET SMART! That movie is soooooo funny, I can’t wait! :o)

FBD – Day 3

The diet is going well so far! I’ve made sure to follow each day to a tee, with no snacking! This four-day plan is a lot easier than I thought it would be. Normally you would figure the meals would be next to nothing, but I find them to be so bountiful and filling! Yes they are portion controlled, but I still feel like I get a lot at each meal. Also I feel more energized. I don’t know if it’s the food, or the exercise or the fact that I’m being productive in the evenings… but I LOVE it!

I thought that the evenings would be the hardest part, but truth be told, I’m too full for snacking! By the time I get home from the gym there is just enough time to make dinner and prepare the next days breakfast and lunch. I have been reading my Flat Belly Diet book at night to keep me in the mood to “be good.” I’m surprised at how motivational it is! It really makes you focus on putting yourself first to achieve your health/fitness goals. Plus there are a lot of “did you know” sections throughout each chapter that give you tidbits of information to keep yourself going. It’s great!

YAY!! I’m still pumped for this healthy change!!! :o)
