Dontcha just love it when you've been eating badly, then turn it around, and watch the water weight fall off?
214 to 211.4 this morning. I love that. I freaking love it. LOVE it. Now, of course I realize if I saw that every morning, it would roughly equate to my losing 90 pounds by this time next month, and that would just be assuming I live through that kind of abrupt and insane weight loss. It's not even possible. (...Is it? I don't think so. Unless you chop off body parts.)
But, there's some kind of sick satisfaction I get from seeing numbers on the scale plummet.
Oooh, plums.
So, I should probably share my eating plan with you guys. Should I? Yeah.
Breakfast: Coffee, yogurt, granola bar
Lunch: Big salad, tuna with fat free cottage cheese instead of mayo
Dinner: Huge salad (if no tuna at lunch, add grilled chicken here)
Snack 1: Baby carrots with or without ranch
Snack 2: (if hungry) 1 banana
Now, the protein will vary- whether I decide to have tuna at lunch time or chicken on my salad at dinner. Other variables will be what exactly I put on my salads, ie: olives, artichoke hearts, peppers, peas, sliced almonds, Romano cheese, etc. The goodies I put on the salads will boost my "good fats" for the day.
Have I mentioned I begrudgingly am eating turkey and chicken again? Still can't do red meat and I can't do pork for some reason, but chicken and turkey are back on the menu. Dammit!
Oh, here's a great tip. If you're gonna use cheese in something, use a strong one. My favorites are: Parmesan, Romano, Swiss, Gorgonzola. That way you can really taste the cheese and you can use less. Also those really strong cheeses are pretty low in calories. 2 tbsp of the shredded Romano I use is only like, 15 calories. Parmesan is the same way.
So, this way I'm shoving tons of veggies into my face. I literally have it PLANNED to just do the salads. I have five bags of lettuce in my fridge.
Plus unlimited Diet Coke, Water and Coffee. I have a 1 liter bottle I fill up twice a day with water, so I am making sure to get my hydration in. I have multi-vitamins I've yet to really start taking - I hate them. Also, of course crystal light and diet green tea is unlimited. Plus green tea boosts your metabolism, so they say!
I can't wait to fit into a size 8 again.

Sounds like a good plan. Congrats on the water weight loss. I take a loss wherever and whenever i can.
Thats a pretty strict plan you got there! So Im assuming your doing a very low carb thing - only see a granola bar no other healthy grains.
Hey have you ever heard of or read about Tosca Renos Eat Clean diet? I love her books- great recipes too!
Hey thx for the compliment- Im SO not the kinda gal that likes to have her picture taken and coming from you- that was a nice compliment! Me and my makeup free face thank you lol :)
You should come and make me a salad. No seriously, I suck at it. I have to eat salads at restaurants because Im so bad at making my own.
Congrats on your loss :)~
