Hey I guess I want to be accountable for this diet. I want to do this differently this time.
Today was the first day.. Weight 260 (Gosh it was hard to admit that but I feel that I need to be honest with myself)
Today I ate for breakfast.. Boiled egg and a chunk of cheese
lunch was the ham wraps and believe it or not it was pretty good.
snack.. celery with peanut butter (1 tbsp) (very difficult to use only that much)
dinner I had a salad with my steak on top and brussells sprouts..
I only drank some ice tea and water.
Well as I retire for the night.. I do feel satisfied and the best that I can hope for is to wake up tomorrow and to keep trying..

HI!

Sounds to me like you did a great job for the first day! I know what you mean about it being hard to admit your weight, I've had the same issue for months, but like you, I know once I start recording,I'll be much more likely to keep it up.

Good Luck!

well here it is 2:30 in the afternoon.. yes, i am doing well. i had a boiled egg and a piece of ham for breakfast.
cheese stick and a half green pepper for snack
lunch i had a turkey wrapped in lettuce, with tomatoe and cheese. really was pretty good..or i am i just delirious.
i am craving real badly at the moment so i thought i would come and write about today. hopefully i will make it through.
positive note. i walked on the stair master for 25 steps at 2 reps. thats all the energy i could muster.. plus i didnt add i babysit during the summer. 7 total in all and boy could i use a big ole bowl of icecream.. just to make it through the afternoon.. no i will not... no i will not.. wish me luck.
thanks for listening

well here it is 2:30 pm and it seems that i am still going strong.. really was so tired and so wanted something last night. got in an arguement with dh because he had a bowl of cereal. atleast he hid from me.
today i had an egg omlet with peppers and cheese. i am learning the more the veg. the more i can satisfy myself.
still real tired. but i think it is working.. i weighed today and it shows 5 lbs. can that be true? we will see. thanks for being there. gotta run...

Congrats on the weight loss! Sure there will be some fluctuations (at least there are for me), but it's starting to make a difference!

On the tired thing, I don't know where yours might be coming from (maybe the lack of carbs, lack of sleep?), but during the day I don't seem to be having trouble (in fact my afternoon blood sugar slump is nonexistent now.. Yay!), but I am getting tired at night. Usually I'm quite the nightowl, up past midnight, sometimes to 1am. Now I'm lucky if I can stay up until midnight. I went to bed at 11:20 last night because I couldn't keep my eyes open. I have to wonder if it's part of the diet. Either way, it's probably a *good* thing for me, I am forever cutting my sleep short.

Good luck for the rest of the day.

well here i am i was doing so well, went to the store really was religious about everything and boom.. took the kids out saturday, planned on having a salad somewhere or even a hamburger without the bun and bang.. we went to a real restaraunt with my best friend and she was treating. i had breaded chicken fingers and fries.. but i did have a huge salad, kids ate the croutons. and dougnuts for desert.. wow, i feel really bad. thats all i had today.
i guess i will pick myself up, dust off my cheating hiney and start fresh tomorrow.. i know this can't be the end of my trying. i can pull through this and be the wiser. well gotta go.. fresh, new day tomorrow..
thanks for being there. :cry:

sunday was kinda bad. :twisted: but not too awful. monday is here and i am more determined. i had an egg and a slice of ham, celery with peanut butter and for lunch i had a lettuce wrapped with turkey and cheese. i found a great recipe for asian lettuce wraps. which seems it might appeal to my family. i am trying to incorporate the diet into a way of life that even the kids can do. well wish me luck :D

i made it through the whole week and then the weekend came and i blew it.. i guess i will try again. and when this weekend comes i need to figure out how to not blow it.. it just seems with the extra time, everyone is hungrier. i know i can do this.. pray for me please, i really need this. i was feeling soo much better, had more energy and here i am on monday, back to square one.. :cry:

well i havent been back since the beginning of june. and i have failed again. gosh, i really thought i could do it. but things got stressfull over the summer and i lost the rythm. but i guess the best thing that i can say is that i am back. trying to get back on the horse. i started monday and i already dont feel good. i remember though that in about 3 days i will start to adjust. keep your fingers crossed for me. i really gotta try.will try to write more later.
