Back at it...Tues Oct 25 2011

alright, so Im back. Took a few months off. stuff goin' on. So here we go, starting with a diet plan that is, pretty boring, but likely will be effective ...and a goal: Back in my size 8s for Thanksgiving (American) as Im travelling to Fairfield and want to be able to shop, shop, shop!

Monday's meals were pretty basic, staying to mostly protein, very low carbs:

bfst- 3 eggs hard boiled

lunch- ribs (beef)

dinner- extra lean ground beef, bacon, cucumber,hummus,avocado,tomatoes

dessert- ultra low fat cool whip and pinneaple

Today so far:
2 eggs, ground beef leftover- bkfst

chicken strips , cottage cheese, 1 honeycrisp apple- lunch

curry chicken, peppers and chick peas- dinner (coming up)

probably some fruit for dessert

So we'll see how things go this week. I plan to go to the gym tommorow (will talk to trainers and see who I can get) and shoot for three times this week. All good.



snack- 1 mini babel cheese

Tues and the carbless era is all over...and a bag of chips..well more like fro-yo

Nemesis, thy name is frozen yogurt. With skor bits. On the top and on the bottom

So Sunday- all started out well. It was Mother's day and yet I managed to avoid the going to brunch, eating god awful stuff. So day was looking good...and then.....I got the call........from my bff...to go to...the ..MOVIES.
I still thought I could do it. Why do I NEED to eat fro-yo? I could just go and watch the movie.
So..I got there...and my bff, who has the same froyo addiction. GOT ME A FROYO. With the skor.
FAIL.
Anyway, after that, I had some popcorn, and then went to starbucks and had a piece of banana bread.The rest of the night I finished on on plan but ultimately I didnt QUITE make it to 5 days. Good enough though.
The key thing is that it got me off the sugar cravings, which were taking over. So that is good in and of itself. And after coming back from Punta Cana, I needed to get back ontrack so this was a good exercise for a few days.
So Monday was back ontrack with Protein and veggies..
2 eggs and 1 egg white, oatbran
2 hard boiled EGGS, peameal bacon
extra lean ground beef, lettuce, ff sour cream, taco sauce
ff yogurt
cashews

Tuesday
2 eggs and 1 egg white with oatbran (pancake)
2 chicken legs
extra lean ground beef, lettuce, ff sour cream, taco sauce
ff yogurt
cashews

So thats it. I am adding back carbs to the diet this week, low sugar for me. I need my toast in the morning!

Day 4 of 5 carbless..when is it over?

So today is day 4 of the attack phase of my diet (no carbs at all except for ff dairy) ....

This evening Im really feeling the effects of food cravings, havent given in but man do I want to.

Today did a hour spin class this am, instructor was shit, but nevertheless had a good class. Did some shopping, good day overall. COuld have gone out tonight but didnt want to ruin my progress, so I just stayed home.

Todays eats:
3 eggs (2 eggs, 1 egg white)8am 170
spin
omelette with turkey sausage (1pm) 250
yogurt ff 50
surf and turf small salmon filet on bbq, small filet 400
ff yogurt 50
sugar free rootbeer
handful of cashews 100

Tommorow I'm adding in veggies. I dont think I can do another no carb day. too yucky, I think its a good way to start to rid yourself of major cravings though-especially sugar and chocolate for me. Outside of tonight I didnt really feel hungry at all today.
Tommorow veg. YAY.

Day 3 of 5...Carbless but not defeated!

So day 3 of no carbs (well there are some but for all intents and purposes its no carbs): Still alive!

Only two more days and then I'll introduce carbs (veggies to start) back into the diet. I'm drinking lots of water (bleh) but know thats one of my "things" that I know is important but I hate to do. Its a habit I need to get into.

So todays eats:
1 egg 1 small steak
turkey bite
oat bran pancake
2 eggs with crab
lemon ff yogurt
roast chicken
protein shake (pp, unsweetened pb, skim, greek 0% yogurt) - not bad.
WATER!!

Gym tommorow- spin class- hopefully i'll be alright. We'll see how it goes.
