"The Body" Class and F-Factor Diet Lecture!

McCann's Irish oats with granola,banana, and FitNutz peanut butter.

Sorry for the horrible picture. I took it inside my desk so no one would see! I really enjoyed this peanut butter mix. I guess it is similar to PB2 which I've never tried before! The only issue I had with it was that the powder spilled all over my black pants! Yucky! I was a little more careful today lol.

Lunch was another peanut butter and jelly with Kay's NaturalsLemon Herb Protein Chips.

I had more snacks in the afternoon. I was in slight binge mode with everything going on! I had a Z-Bar, banana, and ate a lot of granola out of the tub. Blah.

The Body

Yesterday I mentioned that I was going to a fun exercise class after work. About a week ago, I received an e-mail from The Body about their one year anniversary celebration. They offered guests a free class and a lecture from Tanya Zuckerbrot, nutritionist and creator of the F-Factor Diet. I tried a class at The Bodyonce before and loved it! It is a Lotte Berk Method style class very similar to Core Fusion and Physique 57. Of course I took advantage of the free class last night!

I walked in and they had wine! I considered having some and going to class drunk but I decided that it was probably a bad idea since a lot of balance is involved during class.

They also had fruits and veggies.

I helped myself to a little of both.

Tanya Zuckerbrot gave a wonderful lecture about her F-Factor Diet book and nutrition tips in general.

About the F-Factor Diet (from her website):

Unlike most diets that tell you to cut out certain food groups like carbohydrates or fats, The F-Factor Diet™ has you focus on what foods to add into your diet in order to lose weight. It is this essential difference that makes The F-Factor Diet™ unlike any other program you have ever tried. From Day 1, you’ll be eating protein, fats and carbohydrates. For the first time, you will lose weight effortlessly, without the typical feelings of deprivation and denial associated with dieting.

The F-Factor Diet™ is more than just a weight loss program. Yes, you will lose weight, but you will also feel better than ever before. You will see improvements in your skin and hair, your energy levels, your cholesterol, while reducing your risk factors for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, colon cancer and breast cancer.

The diet basically focuses on increasing fiber intake. She also talked about the food groups, portion control, and holiday tips to prevent weight gain. She was a great speaker and gave a great little nutrition lesson in about 45 minutes.

The class around started around 7:45 after her lecture. It was exactly like Core Fusion. It was a great class and my legs were aching when I left! I had such issues walking up and down the subway stairs. Good pain though!

I got home around 9:30 starving for dinner! I made a big salad with cucumbers, avocado,hummus, and Pepper Dogsalsa.

I also had some Hummus MaximusDr. Krackers on the side.

Loved these crackers! I will do a full review once I try all of the flavors!

I had apples with chocolate chips,whipped cream, and pumpkin butter for dessert!!

Yum!

It is lunch time so I am off! Hungry hungry!

How to Let a Date Down Easy

Being in my Early 40's, successful, not sure Im going to have kids and single, I'm finding the qualities in a man have shifted from those in my 20's and 30's. I'm meeting some great guys, mostly online. They have their stuff together, successful, maybe have kids and possess a ton of the qualities I look for in a partner (fantastic on paper)...but...there's no chemistry, no romantic connection, no physical interest. As much as I try to be open, I know a second date wont stir that spark. If he asks me out again after that first date....what do I say, how do I be honest without hurting his feelings?

Thanks for your input!! Have a good one!
