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.

Day 2 of 5 ...Carbless. sniff.

So today is a carbless day again. Will keep on it for 5 days. It will be tough. Wow.

Todays carbless eating. Bleh.

1 egg
1 oat bran pancake
cottage cheese, chicken breast
turkey bites 1.1/2
smoked salmon with cream cheese
2 lowfat sausages
lemon fat free yogurt with cream cheese
diet rootbeer

One day without carbs...and I am still ALIVE

Ok so day 1 of 5 or 7 (depending on how long I can sustain)

Todays eats:

1 egg 70
1 oatbran "pancake" 70
chicken strips 100
ff cottage cheese 80
turkey bite 60
filet 300
1/2 chicken breast 150
lemon ff yogurt 50
vanilla ff yogurt 50

So thats it for today. Meet me tommorow for more of the same.

May 3rd..into the carbless zone...ONCE AGAIN

Today was a good day...knowing that I am about to try yet another induction type diet..but this I can do for the next 5 days since I know its ONLY 5 DAYS. That makes me able to do it.

So today was a carb-o-licious day.

3 eggs (2 yolks) 1 toast
2 toasts with cashew butter
oatmeal with splenda
2 turkey bites
pad thai, sweet basil beef
85% chocolate
I am DONE. yah!.
Onto the Dukan Diet. Wish me luck. Since its very high protein Im not worried about workouts, I'll just eat alot of protein before/after workouts. Alllll good.

May 2nd and all back to normal-ish

Well folks. Today is the national election. I voted green. not because I am particularly green myself (although I do love me a nice green bean these days) but mostly because any of the major parties absolutely annoy me.
So green it is!

Today, after yesterday's food debacle, was a good, solid day. I read Dukan's Diet and will see about trying that for a few days (start Wed) for 5 days. its supposed to reset but you can have low fat dairy which gives you some sweet, which knowing me is what I need to stay sane. All bets are off, but it will be a fun experiment if nothing else.

Todays eats:
3 eggs (2 whole 1 white)
1 toast
1 hr workout with Adrian(a little bit of everything today)
2 pieces rye flax with cashew butter
white bean soup with smoked bacon
cheese
1 glass red wine
non-fat latte decaf (tall)

so we'll stay on this (stay out of the chocolate trap) until we go into the 5 day plan. We'll see!

Holy Moly..Sunday May 1st...better get it together girl!

Hmmm..last night was usual movie fare- froyo-some popcorn..oh and chocolate covered almonds. hmmm,. chocolate much?

today on the other hand..was hoRRENDOUS. WOOW.

Dont even think I'll post it. It started out bad and got proggessively worse. Period time! yeah! Ok- May 3rd to June 3rd.

So lets start it tommorow, the 2nd..and get serious here. I am not so great at keeping my promises, but lets see how I do. So I will try:

1.Exercise at least 5 times a week- 3 x weights and 2 x cardio or more
2.Clean eating. That means: No more sugar (no more chocolate binges) and no movies or if movies, bring a sugar-free snack
3. If I need sweet, get it from fruit -berries as per BFC diet

Water. 24 ounces a day.

If I can do these three things, i should be good by June 3rd when I go. We'll see how I do.
