OK...first of all, let me just say that I lost my first 35 lbs on a no carb diet. I loved eating bacon double cheese burgers and mayo (just hold the bread)! And, breadless hoagies and bacon and onions and cheese on everything. But, 1st of all, I needed to loose 100lbs. This girl was easily a size 0-2! And, secondly, I finally came to my senses and started eating whole, real, nutrient rich foods!!
I'm a proponent of anything that will jumpstart a new healthy lifestyle. And, I know that the Atkins diet really changed my life. Others need to do a "toxin cleans", others need to do a fast or some crazy fad diet like the grapefruit diet. Whatever works to kickstart your changed eating and exercise...go for it!! Just remember a long term solution needs to be something you can stick to. Something you can enjoy. It takes about 2 weeks to change cravings. So, if you need that 2 weeks carb free to squash those crazy sugar cravings...do it! I used to think about food and plan my next bite 24/7. After a few weeks of high fiber cereal and fruit for breakfast and adding whole grains to my diet, I have found myself forcing myself to eat. Reminding my self that it was time to put some calories (energy) into my body instead of constantly being reminded by my belly or even my eyes when I saw something yummy in the house or the store.
Yesterday was one of those days where i just didn't eat enough. It still boggles my mind after being controlled by food 30+ years.
Ok...to the food and exercise journal. Well, I think I posted my food yesterday, except for my real dinner which never happened so I had a 1/2 cup of dry roasted soy beans. I'm addicted. Some people don't like the dryness. So, get frozen ones. Throw them in a little cold water to defrost and pop them like peanuts or popcorn. They are a superfood paced with anti-cancer properties, tons of fiber and protein.
Today: Breakfast was a full grapefruit and the left overs from yesterdays breakfast. 1/3 eggwhite veggie omelet and I took about large tablespoon of the homefries. I'm saving the rest to add to lunch. Making 1 meal stretch into 2-3 saves TONS of calories (and a little cash)
Working out: Got up and did a 20 min super ab workout on demand. and, My friend is on his way over now with pads to give me a little kick boxing training!!! It's amazing. If you are looking for a motivational trainer who focuses as much on your mind as your body, call dan 215-668-6493! He comes to you! It's awesome!
More food and maybe a little stretching to come later.
