well i haven't had a carb since sunday, thank god. i will probably be back down to 148 by tomorrow, so that was relatively painless. i guess a safe goal is to just try to get down to 145 by the time classes start up again. i can lose 3-4 lbs. in a month at home, especially if im not overexercising and building up muscles that haven't been used in 2 years (as I was this past summer). At least I generally maintained all semester. The world hasn't actually ended, I have just been eating shit since finals.
Welll three days of no carbs completed. Tomorrow I am going to try and step it up a notch. Cutting out meat, dairy, and eggs. Yes it does seem impossible to do that while not eating carbs, but I've done stranger things (this summer I went on a kick where I was only eating vegan, soy-free, and gluten free... aka fruits, veggies, and nuts haha).
So I will be making a lot of tofu to keep feel satiated.
Edamame and soybeans for snacking.
Mushrooms, peppers, squash, and all of my favorite veggies to eat limitlessly.
I might even buy Stevia (natural calorie-free sweetener).
Lettuce & cucumbers for fake salads.
Maybe some nuts.
I'm not planning on doing anything social or normal, so it should be attainable.
Still in the same weight range as the last time I posted.
Actually, that's a lie I am up to 150. And I feel like I'm 160. I feel huge and gross and I've never felt so ugly. Why does college ruin my lifeee?? All I want is to become a real person, and to be perfect. That's all.
So to do that, today will be the 4th day I have only been eating fruit and vegetables (and dark chocolate but ah I can't help it). So I think I am going to eat vegan for the rest of the summer. And trying to avoid gluten as well (breads, most foods made with grains). I want to try to keep it as raw and natural as possible. So far the only kind of processed thing I've eaten (besides dark chocolate ah) is a cashew cookie flavored LARA BAR. Gotta love my mom for buying really interesting health food bars... it is gluten, dairy, soy, cholesterol, and sodium free. Only 2 ingredients are cashews and dates. So thats about as natural as you can get as far as "bar" can go. So anyyyway, 146.2 today, hoping to see the 145s in the next few days if not tomorrow.
Blah so so much for transforming my body over summer. I've lost a total of what 7 lbs? I guess its not the end of the world and I am at the lightest I've been in like a year and a half, I just wanted more.
Oh and I've been alternating every other day doing bicep curls and tricep curls then squats and lunges. If I can't make a difference on the scale, maybe I can at least apppear different.
Today: fruits and veggies only all day
Tomorrow-Tuesday: lemonade diet for 3 days. Just 3 days can't be so bad.
Wednesday: come off of the diet with the soup and orange juice they recommend
Thursday: fruit and veggies only... reincorporate protein like black beans and Edamame
Tomorrow:
breakfast: 1 egg, 2 whites (105)
gym - bike for 40+ minutes, stairclimber for 20+
lunch: chicken with squash (200)
snack: apple (70)
dinner: chicken with broc (200)
snack: 1/2 cup of fiber one & milk (105)

total: about 800
So anyway, today becomes a down day. Strictly 450 calories. Just took 2 of my diet pills. I want to burn 1,000 calories at the gym today (poss 2 sessions)... make up for yesterday. Not to mention that I need to lose like 3 lbs. in the next 6 days. Why is it that my body only loses weight at my period and then freezes the rest of the month?
Plan until I weigh-in next Friday:
Today: 450 calories consumed
1,000 calories burned
Tomorrow: 1,400 calories consumed
600 calories burned
Sunday: 450 calories consumed
400 calories burned
Monday: 1,500 calories consumed
400 calories burned
Tuesday: 450 calories consumed
200 calories burned
Wednesday: 1,500 calories consumed
400 calories burned
Thursday: 450 calories consumed
200 calories burned
I willlllll LOSE.
Today's weight: 145.8
boo I'm up since yesterday. This always happens, so I'm gonna try to not freak out about it. I still have 8 days to get down to 143.
Today is an up day. I had a filling breakfast... I want to keep today under 1500 and stay away from all the sugary sweet foods I've been eating that waste my calories. Just gonna have some veggies for lunch and save my calories for the bbq at my friend's house. And some Fiber One.
Blah die fatness.
Today's total calories will be about 400-500 or so.
Breakfast: 1 whole egg with 2 whites (105)
Lunch: ?? a hot dog (50) maybe ??
Dinner: Chicken (120-150)
Snack: 1/2 dark chocolate bar (110)
a pack of sauteed mushrooms (50)
total: 465
I'm reading this 18 page article on fasting. I might buy a book on it and do a juice fast for 5-7 days just to clear out my digestive system. I think I have the control to do it (esp. for such a short period of time). We'll see... I'm just afraid of the weight I will gain when I start eating solid foods again.
I can't wait to eat:
The scale says 146.2 right now, so it will probably be about 145 tomorrow morning. Ugh I know I will weigh more on Tuesday after eating a legit amount of food, but I can't ruin my metabolism like this. I am so excited to be able to have up days where I can enjoy my life with friends. And so excited to just eat tomorrow. That's why I want to go to bed... so I can wake up and actually enjoy food. I think this JUDDD is going to work nicely for me.
Not to mention I've lost about 10 lbs. since I got home for the summer. It feels so much better to not have a potbelly. Still got the love handles, but the disgusting gut is gone.
So I guess that means its safe to set my next goal.
New STG: 143 by July 12th. 11 days away. 2-3 lbs. Consider it done.
Also... for anyone who is reading this and happens to be miserable b/c of being stuck at the same weight... About 3 weeks ago I was restricting well, exercising every day, and I was STUCK at 149-150 for like a week. It was so frustrating, but it always happens that way... I stuck to it and randomly once my period ended it all dropped at once (well in this case it was only like 3-4 lbs, but you know what I mean). Orrr it could mean that my new diet pills work really well??? Who knows.
Today: 400 CALORIES
Breakfast/Lunch: 1/2 cup of Fiber One with 1/2 cup of milk (100)
Dinner: Tuna w/ 1 tbsp. reduced mayo, lettuce, fat free feta cheese, balsamic vinegar (200)
Snack: more Fiber One with milk or something else for 100 calories
Shit I am kind of hungry though and tomorrow is a 200 calorie day =(

I should be able to get away with just one beer considering I don't even really like the people we are hanging out with that much so I'm not gonna want to stay out all night and waste money. Deff going to the gym today too!

( food for the next 4 days )
So that is my life the next 4 days. Then I want to continue to do a sort of variation of the up day, down day diet.... but instead of doing 2,000 on the up days and 400 on the down days, maybe more like 1500-1600 on the up days, and 600-800 on the down days? Something of that nature.
