Obsessions Friday

Guess what today is?

 

OBSESSIONS FRIDAY!

 

I only have a couple of things to share today but they are pretty fabulous.

 

I will start off with my favorite thing I found this week. My tribal, silk, drawstring pants. These are pretty much amazing. They are so comfy but dressy enough to wear to work. I will definitely be on the look for more.

 

Next up, my healthy choice for the week.

 

Lentil Chips. These are so delicious and really made me think I was eating chips but without all the calories. These babies are only 130 calories for 30 chips! I also saw hummus and quinoa chips that I must try. Maybe they will make next weeks obsessions post.

 

Last I just had to share this picture. This is motor, I rescued her about 1 1/2 years ago. She was actually stuck in my engine when I went to leave work. (hint, where I got her name) I was never much of a cat person but I couldn't give her up.

 

I am going out of town this weekend and clearly she doesn't want me to go. I will make sure to share all my weekend adventures on Monday. Have a great weekend blogger friends.

Love of Sushi, Special K Challenge & Sticking to Half Marathon Training!!

 

I love sushi but when I changed my eating habits I cut it out of my diet. Not that some sushi can't be healthy but I liked the very unhealthy kind. But last night I decided to treat myself and pick up some sushi on my way home from work. Although I wish they had ones with brown rice but I stayed away from the ones with fatty sauces on top and tempora and I did use low sodium soy sauce.

 

 

 Yum! Such a good treat to myself.

 

Even though I reached my goal weight I have started to feel kind of blah lately. I have a bunch of events comings up and I definitely want to be looking my best. For example my wedding and the bacholorette weekend at the beach. I don't really have a number of pounds that I want to lose I just want to feel better, have more energy, make sure I am eating healthy and getting back in the gym. So I have decided to kick it off  by doing the Special K Challenge starting on Monday. I already love all of their foods so I am thinking this will not be too hard. I am going to start off doing it for two weeks and go from there. Each day I will share my meal plan and calories consumed. I am going to really be working hard these next couple of months to get myself exactly where I want to be for the big day.

 

For the next 2 weeks I will be replacing 2 of my meals with Special K.

 

Here are some examples.



 



 

1 Serving of Special K Granola, Low-Fat Breakfast Cereal contains 190 calories and has 6000 milligrams of protein, 9000 milligrams of sugar, 3000 milligrams of fat, 5000 milligrams of fiber and 0 milligrams of cholesterol.

 

 

There are 110 calories in a 27 chips serving of Kellogg's Special K Cracker Chips

 

 

There 110 calories in 3/4 cup of Special K Vanilla Almond Cereal

 

 

 

I am not much of a shake girl but there are 190 calories in the Special K Protein Shakes.

 

I am really excited because the past couple of months since I reached my goal weight I really haven't had any goals to reach so this will definitely push me to become an even healthier version of myself.

 

The next thing I want to share is something VERY important to me. The biggest goal I made for 2014 was to run a 1/2 marathon. I am very serious about this and will reach that goal. I figured since I am going to be kicking off my newer version of healthy eating on Monday why not start my half marathon training.  Below is the training schedule I am going to be going by. Wish me luck. I will need all the motivation I can get!
