Back on Track...

Okay, soooo....last Friday, the 25th I went to the doctor and got my prescription for the appetite supressant, water pills and received a shot of B12. I weighed in at 207lbs. Sooo, I started them the next morning and I had absolutely no appetite whatsoever. I had to make myself eat. I had toast and eggs for breakfast, I drank a whole gallon of water throughout the day, I had a salad for lunch and dinner and felt awesome. I spent the majority of the day in the yard putting in landscaping, and sweat my butt off. Soo, Sunday was spent chilling out around the house for the most part, then in the evening Darian and I went shopping so I did alot of walking around the mall and other places. Didnt really do actual excersize throughout the weekend, but I stayed active. Soooo....I woke up on Monday morning, did my usual morning weigh in and I weighed 200.5 pounds!! I lost 7lbs over the weekend! I'm sure most of it was water weight, but it sure as heck feels good losing it! Monday and yesterday I ate a healthy cereal for breakfast, snacked on fruit throughout the day, and had a salad for lunch and dinner. It's amazing but I'm just really not hungry anymore. In the mornings I will be slightly hungry, eat a light breakfast and then I'm fine until I take my pills around 10am. Then I'm good to go for the rest of the day. I'm lovin it! No more hunger pains all day long....

But today I'm starting out on a new eating plan...I will only be drinking water, with the occasional "Crystal Lite". Absolutely no sodas, milk, alcohol, or fruit juice. Here's the meal plan:

BREAKFAST
  • Fresh fruit
  • 1 Slice of wheat toast
  • 1 bagel with margarine
  • 1 cup of oatmeal
  • 1 egg
  • Fat free yogurt

(I can have any or all of these items)

LUNCH

  • White meat only (Chicken, turkey, tuna..prepared or seasoned in any way, w/ the exception to fried)

DINNER

  • Large salad w/ eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers w/ light dressing.
  • Any green veggies, zucchini, squash, broccoli, califlower, and carrots.
  • On the side chicken, turkey or fish.
  • Always have fresh fruit.

SNACKS

  • All the fresh fruit I want, any time of the day w/ exception to bananas, grapes, mangos and papayas.
  • Microwave popcorn (94% fat free only)

Sooo, there you have it. Pretty simple. I wanted to try this diet in the past, but I just couldnt. It didnt seem like enough to me and wasnt satisfying. But now that I have no appetite, I should be good to go. I started out my morning with one egg white and one piece of wheat toast w/ margarine. I also had some fresh strawberries. It wasn't much but it was filling. Anyways, hopefully this weight loss will be consistant and I will keep going in the downward direction. I still havent really started excersizing because I've had alot of things to do when I get off this past week. But, today I'm free and I plan on getting back into my power 90. Orrrr, I might even attempt to go for a jog. I've had alot more energy lately. I'm guessing from the B12 shot, but I might take advantage and try to run...I'll keep you all updated!
