Stage 2: Week 3 - Wednesday

Good Morning America:

* I am most proud of the people in the world that are couragous enough to step out of their box.
* I am grateful for my desire to reach goals.
* I am enjoying in life the warm weather.
* I am committed to not losing my patience.
* I love my grandmother and hope she's all good.

Notes:

* MOM'S WORKOUT - Your workouts for the next 3 weeks are to repeat the workouts and let your goal be to achieve the assigned reps.

Aha! Day: Ideas on how to cut down on sugar intake:

Instead of 1 cup of skim milk (12 g) ---> soy milk (3g) or almond milk (0 g)

Instead of 1 cup of cereal (10 g or more) ---> oatmeal (1 g)

Instead of 1 cup of nonfat plain yogurt (13 g) ---> Greek yogurt (9 g)

Instead of Ensure (23 g - 50 g) or Slimfast (34 g) or EAS (14 g , check labels) ---> Isopure Whey Protein ( 0 g )

Instead of a slice of Wheat Bread ( 2 - 12 g) ---> Spelt (0 g)

Instead of a banana (15 g) or grapes (15.3 g ) ----> Raspberries (5.4 g) or Blackberries (6.6 g)

* Just start looking at labels. It's amazing the difference between same category items.

Thoughts:

I have struggled lately with patience so I often have to remind myself "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I just want the world for some people, but the problem seems to be they don't want the world for themselves and its super frustrating.
