Down Six, Fourteen More To Go!

It's been a week and it's CRAZY how fast time flies!!  

In the past week, I was able to drop 6 pounds on Slenderiix.  

I'm a quarter way there but this is just the beginning! =)

Yet another busy Friday, but will be heading to a meeting after work and then off to Sacramento again.

My week has been super busy but nonetheless productive!

Thursday, September 20th:

I weighed in at 110.7 pounds this morning.
After a day of plateau, it's a good feeling to see the product to continue working its magic. 

 

After getting home from work & a meeting at 9:45 pm, I made some dinner and lunch for Friday.

For dinner I had salad topped with egg whites + catfish & quinoa and half an apple + a cup of organic rice milk!

Wednesday, September 19th:

I weighed in at 111.0 this morning.  Hitting a plateau but I believe it was due to eating Tilapia at BJS with a tomatoes sauce that probably had sugar.  Goes to show how reactive this product is. No Sugar! Sugar will stop Slenderiix.

After work today, I went to Costco to stock up on some goodies..as you can tell what stocked up on, haha.  If you know me, I don't past up good deals or discounts when I see them.

The organic quinoa bags are usually $10 and they were priced at $8.  Yes, that might not seem like a big difference, but in our household, quinoa is a staple instead of the typical rice.  Plus, quinoa is a healthier alternative and good source of protein anyways.  Picked up 3 cases of organic rice milk, catfish fillet, salad bag, and some organic roasted chestnuts.  Healthy overall? Definitely yes!

For dinner, I just had my packed quinoa, napa cabbage, and grilled chicken from the night before and just tossed some diced tomatoes and jalapenos on top.

Tuesday, September 18th: 

Weighed in at 111.1.  I was surprise to drop a pound despite having some hotpot the night before.

After work, I met up with the BF and a couple friends.  We had dinner at BJS.  My meal came with rice pilaf, but I did without and just ate the tilapia and salad.  My BF on the other hand had a Great White Pizza which he shared with our friends.

 

After getting home from dinner, I made lunch for the following day; made grilled chicken, seasoned with black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic and napa cabbage with quinoa.  Simple and healthy but still delicious.

Earlier in the day, my hun sent me a picture of my blooming roses.  Aren't they gorgeous?!

After a fun filled weekend in Sacramento, it was back to work in the bay area.

During my lunch break, since it was a quick meal: Peach Pure Nourish (certified meal replacement), I decided to get some sunshine and vitamin D.  Took a 25 minute stroll along a trail near work.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day.  Definitely taking advantage of the beautiful weather while it lasts.

After work, I met  up with BF and we went to have some Mongolian Hot Pot at Little Sheep.

All I had were mushrooms, fish fillets, and some slices of lamb marinated in red wine.  I guess you would consider this a little cheating, but I think I did fairly well.  After dinner, the BF wanted to get some sweets so we stopped by a boba shop.  Staying committed as I am, he had a taro shake and me, an apple and water :)

Got ready for a fun filled day with some of our friends to go river rafting down the American River in Sacramento.  The weather couldn't have been more perfect.  Hot weather + chilly water=balanced.

We all definitely had a great time floating down the river, having water wars with fellow random rafters, jumping off cliffs, rope swinging, and bonding with each other.  Great experience for the books.

After we got done rafting, we all went to a local family joint, Leatherby's where many of enjoyed the delicious food and of course the ice cream.  Since being on Slenderiix, it doesn't mean you cannot eat out, you just have to be wise on the food selection you get.  I got a Potpourri salad which included lettuce spring mix, 100% crab, tuna, and eggs while the BF has his special black & tan mixed with Marie's sundae.  

Haha, you can definitely tell who's the healthy one.  ;)

Saturday, September 15th: 

Weighed in: the first pound dropped!

 

Visited our local friends at TNT Auto Body in the morning.  After taking care of some business there, went to have lunch at Macau Restaurant (Chinese fused with Portuguese).  

Lunch was delish & very simple...I had my packed lunch that I finished making at 2am that morning: quinoa, okra, and salmon; while the BF got his shrimp/eggs over rice.

Later that evening, we met up with some of our friends for dinner at Sapporo. 

Good Company + Sushi + planning the future= <3

Of course I didn't have any sushi, but with a special request, one of the owner made me a plate of seared tuna, albacore, and salmon himself.  I use to hate eating raw, but I have been opening up my taste buds to it and it was soooo good!  It was a great evening with even greater people!

 

Friday, September 14th: My weigh in:

First official Slenderiix day after my loading phase and I was already put to the test.  At lunch, we had a pizza party but of course I didn't have any.  It was some legit Italian Pizza company and the smell was just amazing but I didn't give in.  I told myself there's always going to be temptation, the sooner I satisfy and complete this program, I can reward myself anytime.  After work, I had a meeting to attend and when that was done, I headed home to pack for Sacramento.  Busy day but rewarding at the same time.
