Day 8
I woke up and jumped on the scale, because, well, a week of prepackaged food should yield some decent results, right? I was down 7.5lbs after one week. I am feeling like that is a win y'all guys!
This week changes in the sense, that I will have weekends off beginning this coming weekend through the remainder of the 5 weeks left.
What I ate-- I ate all 4 servings of my veggies, and drank my 64 oz of water in addition to the following.....
Breakfast: Blueberry Lemon Bar. Holy Mother of all things good and right. This thing was freaking delicious. I would eat this every morning for breakfast, no shit.
Lunch: Cheddar Broccoli Rice- This was pretty good, but it was definitely a soup, it didn't thicken up like I expected it to, but it was still tasty.
Dinner: Chicken Pasta Parmesan- This was nothing like I expected from the title. It tasted fine, but I'm glad my package only came with one serving of this.
Day 9
I woke up counting down to the weekend. I am both excited and dreading SuperBowl Sunday. I know I get to partake in normal food, but I am super anxious about undoing everything I have accomplished. Moderation. I can.
What I ate-- I ate all 4 servings of my veggies, and drank my 64 oz of water in addition to the following.....
Breakfast: Cinnamon Bun Bar. I already told you about this one last week. Not my favorite, but I choked it down.
Lunch: Tortilla Soup. Again, I ate this last week and I put it in my menu for this week to get it done and no longer something to look forward to dreading. It was fine, not delicious.
Dinner: Mac & Cheese Turkey Sausage. This was surprisingly tasty. It was made with white cheese and I was absolutely satisfied after this meal with my veggies.
Day 10
What I ate-- I ate all 4 servings of my veggies, and drank my 64 oz of water in addition to the following.....
Breakfast: Granola Cereal. I ate it dry because I would rather do a lot of nasty things than eat cereal with skim milk. just ewww. It is somewhat tasty and satisfying.
Lunch: Beans and Ham Soup. Misleading. This was bean soup with a ham flavored broth/gravy. There may have been tiny flecks of ham, but it was bean soup. It was tasty and packed with protein.
Dinner: Hearty Beef Stew. Other than being a small portion, this was exactly as described and delicious. I steamed 2 cups of brussel sprouts to have with my dinner and was only able to eat about half.
Day 11
I was on the road quite a bit on Thursday and pretty anxious about getting my meals and water in. I ate breakfast before I left, and then had my lunch and pounded water after I got back to my office. I am ready for my weekend off at this point, struggling with will power a bit. To make things even worse, I ordered a new scale that was delivered and when I compared it to my old scale, I actually weigh 1.5lbs more than I thought I did. Bummer. However, given all that, I am down 10 lbs at this point.
What I ate-- I ate all 4 servings of my veggies, and drank my 64 oz of water in addition to the following.....
Breakfast: Peanut Butter Granola Bar. YUCK. Peanut butter is supposed to come covered in chocolate, but alas, that is probably why I need to lose weight in the first place. This was a granola bar with PEANUTS in it, held together by a PEANUT buttery type substance, covered on the bottom with a PEANUT glaze. It was too much. ew.
Lunch: Trail Mix Bar. Nut, chocolate and dried fruit. It was everything one would expect from the title. Plus, I got a little bit of chocolate, so it made up for this mornings horror.
Dinner: BBQ Chicken WITH A ROLL. I got bread y'all! Wahoo!!! This is not how I would usually eat bbq chicken, but it was tasty, and I got bread. No complaints.
Day 12
I can't believe I have 4 more weeks of this shit. F*ck around. So much weight loss last week and so little this week. Today I am feeling a little discouraged, but I keep telling myself that every little bit counts and I am one-third of the way through this thing. I'm going to stick it out.
What I ate--
Breakfast: Cinnamon Struesel Muffin- another joyous dense sponge cake. It was fine. I'm ready for some eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy.
Lunch: Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar
Dinner: Chili (refer to last week for my opinion on this one). I did add a fresh tomato and some jalepenos this time and it made the dish much more tolerable.
Day 13
YYYAAAASSSS!!!!! EAT ALL THE THINGS!!! OMG. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE AGAIN, I GET REAL FOOD!!!
Our littles were away this weekend, so it was just us and we ran around town on Saturday. I did get up and make a breakfast casserole that was *mostly* within the parameters of the diet and if you'd like to try it, the recipe is here . I cut the cheese a bit and used lowfat to make it Nutrisystem friendly-ish. It was amazing, and I will totally make it again. We skipped lunch (bad decision) and then had Pad Thai from our favorite place for dinner. I had a serving and a half. I ate some veg and did drink my water for the day. I also had a Colorado Bulldog with the Kahlua we just made from my Grandma's recipe.
Day 14
YYYAAAASSSS!!!!! EAT ALL THE THINGS!!! OMG. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE AGAIN, I GET REAL FOOD!!!
We had leftover casserole this morning and spent the day hanging out and smoking a brisket together. I ate so many things. SO MANY THINGS. Little Smokies are NOT, I repeat, NOT worth the calories y'all guys. For real. So here is a snapshot of my Sunday Funday.
Breakfast Casserole: apprx 200 calories
Brisket 3.5 oz: apprx 200 calories
Fresno Pepper Poppers made with Greek Cream Cheese (3): apprx 200 calories
5 Little Smokies, FIVE. Just five: apprx 200 calories
Imitation Crab Meat (don't judge, we love this shit): 1 oz, apprx 80 calories
I also had 2 Miller 64s and a Colorado Bulldog for a total caloric intake of about 1300. Now, I also walked to the Neighborhood Market, for exercise, and took Sadie, our blue heeler for a walk for a total of 5 miles on Sunday, and I was walking as quickly as possible, burning apprx 600 of those calories off.
I had all my water and veg for the day also.
I have realized that I would definitely rather make time to work out and eat moderately healthy than eat lean cuisine shit all the time and never work out. I have 4 weeks left and I have lost a total of 10lbs. I am 25% to my goal, and one-third of the way through this diet. To celebrate my achievement, I got a new 'do, but I really wanted a red velvet cake.
Chat next week friends!
