Okay so new plan. Atkins diet was good, really works. I lost 6 pounds on it I have been able to keep the pounds off transitioning out of the Atkins diet. For the short time i was on it I think it really helped my metabolism and taught me about nutrition. While I have gone back to some carbs I am more conscious of my intake. On to newer more sustainable diets!
I ran into a friend from work a couple weeks ago and I didn't recognize her. She looked amazing. When we worked together was built like me, short, stocky and a little chubby. She was a fasts food junky too so i didn't expect to see her lean, and toned. She told me she had started the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution with her sister. She had done the 90 days and lost over 30 pounds. That got me thinking, if she can do it so can I. i mean I haven't been doing bad, just kind of lingering at the same weight, a little up, a little down. I'm getting married in a year and I want to be in the best shape of my life. I am sick of being the big girl. I want to be healthy, feel good, confident and look amazing in my dress. I don't want to shop for plus size bridal gowns and pay more for more fabric. I want my fiance to look and me and think, 'Damn, I am a lucky guy!' Don't get me wrong he is going to think that no matter what, but you get my drift. So I did some research on this plan and it seemed really legit. Full meal plans for 90 days, 3 phases of workouts. Basically everything laid out in front of you. I bought it. It was kind of expense, but I figured I am worth it! Plus that is more incentive to use it.
So I got it and I am starting with the 7 day metabolism booster! Most of the ingredients are things that I already had so I just had to get a couple of extra things.
Day 1-It took me about an hour to prepare my breakfast, lunch and snack for Day 1. Breakfast was plain non fat Greek yogurt with cinnamon and slivered almonds. It sounds pretty good...well it tastes horrible. I suppose the cinnamon is there to maybe give it a little flavor, but the plain yogurt is really nasty. It did really fill me up though. Lunch was a chef salad with eggs, tomatoes, steamed broccoli, red bell pepper and ranch. It was really good and filling as well. You are also supposed to put tuna on it and I brought the tuna with a can opener, but i forgot to put it on. I guess I just got too excited about the salad. Snack was red bell pepper, baby carrots and hummus. I was actually too full to finish all of my snack surprisingly. Dinner was sirloin steak on spinach with a salad of tomatoes, red onion and black olives in balsamic vinegar and olive oil. i thought it was great, but Britt really didn't like the onion salad. I think the way they put the foods together is very strategic. I also did the phase 1 workout 1. It is mostly a little free weights and a little cardio. It was a nice workout. I am already sore, but I didn't feel like I was going to pass out during the workout.I was able to do 30 minutes! I am proud of myself. My mom is coming Thursday night and she is staying through Tuesday. Britt thinks it is dumb to start before she comes because it is so crazy when she is here and my family has dinners and goes out and parties hard. Well i am going to try my best to stick with it. I was going to wait until she left, but what the hell. I say that everyday...I'll start tomorrow. Well I'm starting today and if I slip up a little bit there is always tomorrow, but at least I am trying. I am ready for a change! Onto day 2...
