The Slow-Carb Diet

Pound 5

My scale has been majorly schytzophrenic the past few days. I usually weigh myself 3 times, and take the average, or if one number comes up twice, I take that number... Well, the last time I weighed myself, the first number was super light, I was like "WHAT??? NO WAY! I didn't loose THAT much!" so I had to get a reading that was more believable to me (and the 2nd two readings were higher, as I expected!) Today, my first reading was actually an unexpected surprise, and I wasn't even going to do the 2nd and 3rd readings... but I figured I had to, just to be consistant... and the last 2 readings were WAY LOWER!!! WHAT???

Do digital scales do this when their batteries are low? Or is this kind of fluctuation in readings normal? (I know if I put the balls of my feet in different areas I can get the reading to go heavier or lighter. I don't think I'll ever be able to trust it.)

So, for today's weight, I actually took the higher reading as the truth, and it was still a 5 pound loss!!!
I'll soon be out of the 150's :) WOOT!!!!
Meeting with my nutritionist tomorrow to get some more pointers too! I'm looking forward to it!

Pound number 2

So, since starting phase one of my new nutrition plan, I have already noticed a change on the scale! 2 pounds! (And I'm not even being super strict yet! ... it's amazing what eating a few meals of cheese curd and yogurt will do to your body! :) I know it's the bread and pasta that I need to avoid, and co far I've done a GREAT job at staying away from those carbolicious goodies!

Phase one of my nutrition plan is geared twards shocking my body, cutting out all of the processed sugars that I get way too much of normally! (Sweet tooth?!) It's been a bit of a slow process to get into this diet, but once I noticed that I was making progress, I was stoked! Yesterday I followed the diet to the letter, and I woke up today and lost another pound! YAHOO!

Trust me, eatting this diet is tough, but my saving grace is knowing that I only have to do it for a month! (...Then Phase two begins!)

My Nutrition Plan - Part One

I've gained a bit of weight (ok, 10 pounds) since I met Collin and I was a little concerned about it. It seems like since I turned 25, my body gains an average of 5 pounds per year... is this normal? So obviously I've been eating more then my body can burn off. :(
I decided to get a professional's help! I called up a fellow group exercise instructor whom I know has a nutritionist degree and enlisted her help.

Check out my new meal plan (keep in mind this is only phase one!):
Oatmeal 50gr (dry weight)
Chicken breast 4oz (cooked weight)
Skim milk 0.75 cup
Dry cottage cheese 125gr (I recommend mixing it with the yogurt)
Egg whites 3-4
Yogurt non-fat 125gr
Oriental vegetable mix 100gr
Rice (brown rice better choice) 1 cup cooked
Protein powder 1 scoop

This is all the food I'm allowed for a day! (Well, add in fresh veggies like lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, celery, cauliflower, cabbage, mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, green beans Brussels sprouts, comatose, onions, broccoli...) but basically that's all she wants me to eat for the next 4 weeks!

I'm going to get started on this tomorrow... I guess I'd better scarf down those CRAVE cupcakes I got on the weekend TONIGHT!!!

Co-worker Cleanse

Me and 3 collegues (at least for now, there might be more joining us) have decided that we are going to do a cleanse together (lasing 12 days, starting November 19th to November 30th.) I'm nervous! I've done a cleanse before but I didn't follow the diet at all! This time, with other people doing it too, we'll be constantly monitoring each other and we will KNOW when someone isn't following the diet! It is good to have the support though, I don't think I'd do it alone!

We are even planning to cook large quantities of items we are allowed to eat at home and then do a swap (kinda like a big pot luck) at work. Cause usually these cleanses make you eat things that aren't in your normal diet and the cooking part becomes very demanding.

It might even be safe to call this a team building event, of sorts...
