UPDATE: Special K Challenge

Good morning my lovelies!! First, I would like to apologize for not posting and updating you all on Friday. I thought to myself that Friday wasn’t exactly a full week on the Special K plan, Monday is. So I was ready to post Monday. But then Monday came and I was busy RELAXING that I didn’t get a chance to! *lol* So please forgive me. J

Ok, now on to the business at hand… Special K update. I’m glad to report that I followed the Special K plan to the T. Well not exactly to the T. When it came to having a "real" meal for dinner (with meat & sides... lol), I did my own thing. I didn’t do any of the suggested meals they had on the plan. But I’m sure that was fine. On top of that, I never went over my daily PointsPlus values. I actually had as much as 15 points left over, like every day. J So- I found that the foods did what it’s supposed to do. It suppressed my hunger BUT it didn't make me feel full, I just didn’t feel hunger pains!! That’s what I got out of it. After every Special K snack or meal, I felt “ok.” But if someone put a plate of food in front me and said “Help yourself.” I would have HELPED MYSELF! *lol* While at work all day it was much easier to control my eating and stay on the Special K plan because I didn’t have those kinds of temptations. I found the best tasting Special K foods were the protein shakes and fruit pastries. The shakes were actually satisfying to have as a meal replacement, which was a shock to me! I just knew that a drink alone could never replace a filling meal, but it did and it worked! The fruit pastries taste just like pop tarts! So they are A+ in my book. I also seen Special K has out new breakfast sandwiches in the frozen aisle. I saw the sausage, egg, and cheese ones. I didn’t get a chance to try them yet but I want to! I’m sure they’re probably good!

So I was great on the plan during my work week (Mon-Fri) but then… *sigh*… the weekend came. And let me tell you, I didn’t touch not one Special K product! I know, I know, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I gave in to the freedom to eat whatever was in my fridge that DID NOT have Special K on it! *lol* I was just tired of their foods! Uggh! I thought I could do it... just 2 weeks. But eating the same Special K foods beat me down! They weren’t appetizing to me anymore. And I love food way too much to be eating things that aren’t even satisfying. *SMH*

So in conclusion, the Special K Challenge for me was indeed a CHALLENGE!! And I fell short! But I'm not opposed to trying the challenge again. Just not anytime soon. *lol* I do, however, know that I must have lost some weight. I can feel it. It may not be those 10 pounds I was looking for but it’s definitely something. I haven’t weighed in at Weight Watchers in a few weeks. It’s time for me to pay them a visit. (literally... lol) So sometime this weekend I’ll be weighing in and letting you in on my status. I have 6 more weeks until Thanksgiving… and I’m still in hot pursuit to lose 30 pounds. So, continue to keep your fingers crossed for me and wish me luck! I NEED IT! J

Well that’s all I have to report for today. If anything good and juicy comes up, I’ll be sure to check back in. So until next time… HOLLA ♥

Hey, did any of you try the Special K Challenge with me last week? How did you do? What did you think of the foods and the plan? Comment below and let me know.

I'm Ready

Good morning ya'll! First let me say, I had another AWESOME WEEKEND! Ya'll just don't know! *SMH* Glory to God! J

Ok, now to business... It’s Monday, October 1^st and the Special K Challenge is ONNNN!! I weighed myself at home this morning and my next “at home” weigh in will be in 2 weeks, October 15^th... after the challenge is over. I’m anticipating on losing 10 pounds like the challenge says. So who’s with me??! YOU ARE!!

I picked up the following items for the challenge:

I still need to pick up a few more, and even different flavors, but this is the bulk of it. I’m praying I can stick to this. Because according to my Special K meal plan it looks like I’ll be starving myself! LOL! I’ll definitely be updating you on how I’m doing on this. You know I’ll keep it real and tell you if I'm surviving or thriving! J Also, I'm still going to count the weight watcher pointsplus values on the Special K foods. I still want to remain in the habit of tracking and keeping within my daily pointsplus allowance (even though I know with this challenge I shouldn't go over) and I'll be continuing my weekly workouts. So yeah, I’m ready ya’ll!! I’ll check back in with you guys this Friday with an update. Enjoy your week everyone! And until next time… HOLLA ♥
