Jessi's Juicy Journey!

[jessiv814]

Today starts P2...And for this I am very VERY excited. P1 didn't go as well as I had planned. Having a diet buddy while I was taking my winter class made it easier, yet harder. We definatly weren't eating enough veggies, and when I mentioned that my "buddy" said: "Well so we're sorta doing Atkins, whatever we'll lose weight." And then the last days before we came home she wanted to go out to treat ourselves for being "so good" and well...3 days later I don't think I lost any weight. BUT the positive thing is I don't have cravings...And if that's all I got out of P1 I say that's a heck of a lot!

I am excited to be home and work on P2. I am home for approx 4 weeks, and then I leave to study abroad in Australia!!!!! I'm so excitied and that was the reason I was starting SB again. I put on holiday weight, the joys of being Italian hahaha. So here I am again.

Here is what I have ate today so far...PLEASE feel free to critique...Even though I have looked over lots of things on this site and how to eat the proper meals I still need all the help I can get!!

1 egg
1 slice canadian bacon
1 slice whole wheat bread
6 oz V8
1 cup milk

I just got off the treadmill and I feel good. I mean it was only 30 min, but that's 30 min more than normal. It was soooo boring though...I have misplaced my MP3 player so I didn't even have music. I really wish I had an elliptical bc for some reason it's more interesting to me. My cousin has a gym membership and she has this pass where she can bring a person with her everytime she goes...so I am going to try to get in touch with her and see if we can go to the gym so I can use an elliptical.

I am also really trying to work on my posture bc I really have bad posture. It hurts to sit up straight...Guess it's bc I haven't done that in forever.

Day 2 on P2 and things are coming along! I didn't exercise today...Boo me. My excuse (I feel like criticizing myself on this will be the best way for me to get my behind in gear) was I was so tired and a little sore from yesterday, and my knee hurts. I still wish I had an elliptical LoL Ok onto the food...

Breakfast
1 egg
2 slices canadian bacon
1 cup V8
1 cup Milk

Lunch
1 cup lettuce
Crabmeat
1 slice ff cheese
Less than tbsp bacon bigs
2 tbsp Italian dressing
1 cup turkey chili

Dinner
Chicken breast
Approx 3/4 cup of green beans
1 slice w/w bread





I'm still hungry right now. I started plugging my calories into sparkpeople, even though I know South Beach isn't about calorie counting, but I like to know I'm not eating 3000 calories a day LoL So far today I've only had like 930 so I need to find something else to eat...I want something desserty so I'm off to the dessert forum to see what I can whip up!




*Had some sf/ff pudding a few hours ago and I just heated up some chili, little sc and milk.

I know I have only been on P2 for 2 days but I feel great! After my huge slip up/me sucking/falling into food peer pressure I felt so crappy after P1. But now that I am back on track I just feel great. I am not as bloated and don't feel extremly fat every time I look in a mirror, I just feel like I should lose some weight LoL I have been struggling with my body since the 6th grade. That's the first time I remember feeling so fat and disgusted with myself. I remember it perfectly, I was trying my bathing suit on bc my class was going to a water park and I looked pregnant. I was crying to my mom. It was awful, I don't think I will ever forget it. After that it has been a constant struggle, I lost probably about 10lbs going into my junior year of high school and I have grown a little bit since then so I know I look better but I am not near what I want. Now that I'm a junior in college I'm trying to get a healthy idea of what I should look like but since I've hated my body for so long it is really hard to think I'll ever be like OH BODY I LOVE YOU. But I'm trying, so good for me.

Oh another note I love milk. Random, yes. But I have never been a milk fan and I was lactose intolerent sorta. The sorta is because everything with milk made me very very very sick and we never knew why. I was diagnosed with IBS also, but the milk stuff was the worst. I took a lactose test and it came negative, however when I was taking lactaid pills I never got sick. I guess I have grow out of it now because I can drink milk and eat ice cream like a pro (not that getting sick ever stopped me from eating ice cream like a pro lol) But I'm glad that I enjoy milk now bc I know it's good for you!

That's my babble Can't wait for Day 3...

Taking a nap yesterday was a bad idea because I didn't get to sleep until about 5:30am today, which let me lay in bed until about 5 pm. The joys of being jobless and not having school...With that said I had to run out to pick my dad up and when I came back I ate...

1 egg
1 slice canadian bacon
1 slice w/w bread

I'm a little hungry still (I should have had some V8 with that) so I might eat something else in a little bit. I just ate like 30 min ago though so I am gonna wait a little bit and see if I'm actually hungry or just thinking I'm hungry because I think I am! LoL My parents are making breakfast for dinner...scrambled eggs and potatoes...I don't want to be near the kitchen with those potatoes.


Had 1/2 cup of chili with some lettuce, 1 tbsp sour cream, and slice of cheese

1 cup pudding

1 cup milk

Some crabmeat/creamcheese wrapped in lettuce

Tomorrow will be better.

Yesterday's food intake sucked mostly due to my sleeping habits. NEWHO...Today there was no time for breakfast bc me and my mom had a hair apt had to leave by 9, and I got up around 840...We stopped at DD and grabbed a bagel, I got wheat but I am PRETTY sure those aren't whole wheat, but whatever. I can't beat myself up over it, better than a donut!

I might be going out with a friend, possibly to eat so we'll see how that goes, who knows.

[jessiv814]

The rest of my meals sort of followed suit to this morning. We went to Friendlys and I got the Oriental Salad, probably a bad choice but it wasn't a burger and fries so that's my positive. I also just had a slice of ww bread with cheese bc I am hungry. That salad filled me up alot but now I want food and pretty much all there is in the fridge is pizza...My weakness is good pizza from home but I resist. I just drank a cup of milk and like half cup v8. I drank no water today, a glass of tea and some coffee...At least I didn't put in any sugar.

Ok tomorrow I shall be better. I weighed this morning and I was 144 so I'm happy, thrilled even. Now I just need to do exercise and I know I'll see quicker results and be confident when I leave next month for Australia.
