Update on the high protein and low carbohydrate situation. I weighed myself when I first started on Sunday 2/5/2012. So I weighed in this last Sunday, 2/12/12 and I am down 10LBs. Hell yeah. I am quite happy with this, and I also feel pretty good.
This “diet” has its hardships. You really need to prepare everything, have it all planned. Besides that, I don’t like meat. I really don’t. So since I am okay with Chicken, thats what I am eating. Lots of eggs and greens as well.
Yesterday I didn’t eat very much at all. Until about 6PM I only ate 3 eggs, microwaved, (running late and had to make them at work), 2 cheese sticks and 1/8 C. raw nuts. That’s bad, but now that I am seeing weight come off, this is kind of what I do. I had some greens and fried eggs when I got home and then went to bed.
I need to not do that. Today is my day off, and I decided when I do this I will allow myself a cheat day, which is also Tuesday. I feel kind of bad about it, but I am going to be doing the extreme low carbohydrate for at least -60LBs. Its not like I am going to spoon sugar into my mouth, I had some strawberries on flourless Ezekiel bread with almond butter. I bought some chocolate soy milk. Little things that are at least on the healthy spectrum that I really like.
I weighed myself this morning just for kicks and I had lost another 3 LBs, since Sunday. Seriously makes me in a good mood, and I saw that mood reflected onto everyone I encountered when I ran a few errands this morning.
I am happy, even if I am alone for dumb Valentines day. Which makes me even happier.
