day 3

wednesday was pretty good.

tuesday night i got 2 charlie horses in my theighs at the same time! I thought i was going to die from pain. but i got it stretched out. took a vitamin and prayed that would never happen again.

needless to say i was scared to workout again on wednesday, but i only planned to do cardio so i figured i'd be okay.

the workout was tough, but i got through it- my trainer had me do intervals of walking and jogging, then walking and inclines, then walking and running... talk about SWEATY... i was dripping.  I feel better though- my heartburn has gone away and finally my headache is real dull. success!

Breakfast:
1 cup cereal (special K)
1/2 cup soy milk
3 pieces of smoked bacon
1/2 cup apple cider
Lunch:
1 premade salad- 280 cal (south western salad)
turkey sandwich (on thin flat bread, with lettuce and 1 slice of bacon)
Snack:
fruit salad cup (2 servings)
snack 2:
apple slices
Dinner:
4 oz Shrimp and Scallops
1/2 cup of brown rice
1 cup steamed veggies
1/2 cup apple cider
Water: 8

day 2

almost huge mistake doing the stair master for 30 then going straight to ZUMBA... i thought my legs were going to just break off and walk away.

I got home late, and after a mini meltdown on the phone with my mom over drama, it was way too late to eat, so i just went to bed.

I wasn't that hungry anyway- the protein shake after the workout probably helped a lot. my muscles didn't feel so bad this morning, especially going up the stairs at work, so +++

anyway... food for today

Diet- Friday dinner 1

(Its real late, I'll come back to this entry later)

Diet- Friday Lunch

Pasta salad primavera with tuna and sesame breadsticks.

This is the first time I have eaten tuna ... I think ever! (Chicken of the sea... I kinda get it now)

Now that I have conquered tuna and brussel sprouts I can probably eat just about anything ... Maybe not cottage cheese.

I like refreshing lunches. Makes my day feel lighter and more upbeat.

Diet- Friday breakfast 1

Tomato and mushroom omelet with (dun dun dun) brussel sprouts.

To my surprise the brussel sprouts were really good. It was also interesting having a vegetable for breakfast, but sometimes (pre-diet) I craved sandwiches, like blt's.

Expanding my flavor horizons, this was a plus.

I was also being brave, because I'm usually particular about my eggs. It was a nice change from muffins.

Diet- Thursday dinner 1

Stuffed chicken with cous cous and veggies.
This was tasty. But not super memorable. I do remember being excited that it was stuffed chicken though.

Diet- Thursday lunch 1

Pita and hummus with carrot cranberry salad.

This was super good. The carrot salad side dish was so good. It was like carrots, peaches, cranberries and like cinnamon and nutmeg. It was a nice refreshing lunch treat.

I toasted the pita. It was a nice lunch.

Diet- Thursday breakfast 1

Raisin bran muffin with raspberry jam, raspberry yogurt and apple juice.

Again, the raspberry jam really helped the muffin. Without the jam, the muffin was a little dry. I am now one of the people who puts jam on their muffin, for some reason that makes me feel European. (They do that over there right, ha)

Apple juice is a favorite of mine. Definitely gulped that down.

The yogurt was good. I would not have ever picked raspberry myself. That is another thing I like, it is expanding my food choices. I am trying a lot of new things. It makes it fun too.

Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate mousse! :-)

Diet- wednesday dinner 1

I think this was the veggie ravioli. Again very tasty.

That is what is really great about this diet plan- I don't feel like I'm missing out on something. I don't feel like I'm actually giving something up or depriving myself. That is helping me stay with it for sure.

Diet- wednesday lunch 1

Salmon burger!

This was da bomb! Make you wanna slap your mama. The flavor was so on point.

V8 tomato juice is not my favorite... I tried to gulp it down quickly so the taste wouldn't linger... Then I'd take a bit of the yummy salmon burger... Mmmmm

This is definitely on the list of favorite dishes... And its was only day 2.

Diet- wednesday breakfast 1

Cherry muffin with orange marmalade and orange juice.

I can have oj in moderation...or else I get hives.

I have never put jam on my muffin, and it was a nice change and flavor booster. I cut the muffin in half and put on the jelly.

It doesn't look like much, but it is actually filling.

Diet- the beginning

This was the first meal. Red snapper if I recall. (I'm gonna have to double check my menu later) It was really really good with lots of flavor- as I've noticed a lot of the food on this diet plan has been.

With this meal I realized this diet may actually work for me. A lot of my problem comes from the fact that I am a "happy plate" kid. So I will eat and eat and eat till its all gone regardless of if I was full halfway through. Also, if food is left on a plate I get this built up anxiety and feel that I must eat it to be "happy", full, and satisfied.

Needless to say this portion controlling really helps that. And I am full and satisfied off the portion sizes given. Really, truly, I am.

My First Post- the diet

yay! my first post.

I will be putting my dieting updates on here.

It is time to be more accountable for my weightloss goals, and nobody can do that better than friends and family and the occasional strangers.

Anyway, I've been on the Diettogo.com 1200 calorie diet for a whole week now. I really do enjoy the food. It all tastes good and has a really good variety so I'm not bored, nor do I have to think about what I'm eating.

The non planning aspect is what I love the most, because if i plan, i'll think to much about it, if i think too much about food i'm just gonna be hungry. So no i have more time to think about other things- which is a real nice change.

I will be posting pictures of the food i'm eating, kind of live a picture food journal- once i figure out how to upload them from my phone :-)

I'm young, single, and ready to get in shape!
