“What S3 Was Like For Me” Prize Winner Katie Tells All

Katie Rocks!

The Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown was not always easy. Not much worth doing is. But as our 3rd place winner Kate Bean shares, it was so worth it. Fabulous job Katie, you look great!

Eating breakfast within an hour of waking ever single morning for 54 days straight = not something I’d normally do, but ok.  Oops, now I’m running late for work.  Most people would bring a cooler filled with ice to a bachelorette party in order to transport alcohol.  I brought one so I could bring my Dale’s Raw Protein Bar for breakfast, incase we didn’t get up, out, and eating within an hour.

Adding in a lean protein to three meals for 40 days = Hmm, now I actually have to eat breakfast and lunch everyday.  Sitting in my car, eating tuna out of a packet.  Yes, just tuna – no mayo or bread.  Coming home from work and not being ravenously hungry!  Learning that buying ripe avocados is a difficult task!  And actually being sad when I couldn’t put one in my smoothie (unripened ones create disgusting little chunks in smoothies)

Eating 5 cups of veggies every day for 26 days = This one was tough.  Husband:  “What’s for dinner?”  Me:  “Salad and *insert lean protein*”  Every. single. night.  Spilling olive oil on 3 different outfits, and two seats of my car in one week (I learned to put the dressing on at home), Having to use a serving platter instead of a dinner plate because my salad was so big..  Buying and cooking brussel sprouts for the first time in my life (I had to use Google because I didn’t know what to do with them).
