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 ♥
