My Canadian Weight Loss Journey - Week 4
It’s week 4 of my weight loss journey with Thin Evolution’s diet program. Why now, you ask? Studies show that people put on 5-7 lbs over the Holidays. Since I lost almost 5 lbs during December, I should come out ahead if I’m just a little careful. After all, it’s the first bite (or sip) that tastes the best, right?
If you’re just joining in this series, check out last week’s Canadian weight loss post. This week I decided to mix things up a bit, with the blessing of Tina, my weight loss coach extraordinaire: I replaced my breakfast square with a breakfast smoothie. And I love it! Here’s my recipe:
High-protein breakfast smoothie:
- 1 cup of frozen berries;
- 1 cup of almond “milk” made in Canada by Almost Fresh (I like the vanilla flavoured one);
- A few leaves of fresh spinach (for the iron);
- 1 scoop of Canadian hemp protein powder from Manitoba Harvest.
Put everything in the blender until you get a nice “slush”. I absolutely love the flavor, and it keeps hunger away for about 2 hours. Yummy!!!!
So what does the scale say this week? No weight loss, but nothing gained either. Considering my over-indulging in the past few days, I call this a WIN!
Now on to the next round of parties: New Year’s! I found an extra bit of motivation in these 10 ways to avoid Holiday weight gain from Canadian Living. Wish me luck!
Happy (healthy) New Year to all!
