The scale is moving! Nothing drastic, down to 127.0, which is 1.4 pounds lost in five days, and isn't bad. I'm off the next two days and have a lot planned in the way of catching up on workouts because work has been wearing me out (excuses!!). The simple fact of the matter is I haven't really changed anything about my lifestyle outside of the fucoTHIN Green & the meal shakes and have lost weight, which is the point. If anything, I may be working out slightly less (but will make up for that the next two days, while I'm off and it's finally not -3 degrees out).
Overall? The challenge is a success so far. I'm seeing a difference, and I see and feel a difference in my body. I'm excited to amp it up for the last half of the challenge and see what happens!
Also, I've felt hungrier, but I've only found myself craving good food, which is a great thing! Love this!! I have a feeling that when I finish this bottle of fucoTHIN, I will order another!

What's In My Pantry: Recent Food Hauls
I've had these items for about two weeks and haven't made this post yet. I've been a little busy with work and trying to get in three mile walks with my dog.

In this haul:
=> Spectrum Ground Flaxseed: Got it on sale so it was pretty cheap. I'm mostly excited that it's ground. The pro to that is that it's much easier to absorb its nutrients. The cons is that it can go bad more quickly. It's an easy fix: store in the fridge after opening.
=> Nasoya Black Soybean Tofu Plus: this is my preferred tofu. I feel like I compared the ratios and it was the best I could find for protein. I'll have to check this again next tofu outing. I got this for $2/5, with a $1 off coupon.
=> Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla and Unsweetened Vanilla Coconut: These were on sale with a coupon so I grabbed a flavor I trusted, and something new to try. I may have tried the Vanilla Coconut in the past, but I don't remember.
=> So Delicious Cashew Milk: it was time to try a new "milk". I've never had cashew milk. These were on sale and had a coupon, so I jumped in; all or nothing. Hopefully they're good. I haven't gotten to them yet.
=> Dancing Star Chunks of Energy Chcolate Almond Chip: my local Whole Foods carries these in the bulk bins. These are a great snack for prolonged activity. I like to eat two of these before I leave for work in the morning. Gets me through my morning walk and takes me into my day.
=> Roasted Unsalted Soybeans: these are a great high protein snack with good fats. I like to munch on these when I'm craving something like potato chips. It isn't the same texture or taste, but for some reason it works for me. Much more protein than a potato chip. These are also from the bulk bin at Whole Foods.
Garden of Life sent me these goodies. There will be more about that tomorrow, actually. Pictured here is their RAW Protein in Vanilla Chai and the RAW Fit powders in Original and Marley Coffee. Also pictured is their Herbal D-Tox regimen, and their fucoTHIN Green weight loss supplement. I'm so excited!!
