Starting Day 2

I weighed myself this morning to see if it was true that you could loose 2-3 lbs in the first day. It's true. I lost 3 lbs. Granted its all water weight, but so far the "promise" is true.

So to recap what I ate yesterday: a half cup black coffee, 10 cups water, watermelon, 2 apples, cantaloupe, blueberries, 1 animal cracker. I think that was it.

Day 2 of the diet says to start the day with a baked potato with a pat of butter. I used all our potatoes up Monday to make a Shepard's pie so I started the day with a slice of whole wheat bread and a pat of smart balance light. For the rest of today, I have veggies to eat. I may run out and see if I can get a bag of salad and some apple cider vinegar for dressing. I also need to get more fruit for tomorrow. I'm debating if I should get the stuff for day 4 while I'm out. Maybe I will. I need to get skim milk and bananas. I'm finicky on my bananas though so it'll have to depend on how "green" Kroger bananas are today. Interestingly, the diet doesn't specify what kind of milk to drink on day 4, but skim makes the most sense.

Did I mention today is going to be harder than yesterday? I expect to be hungrier today as I don't like veggies much. OOH! I'm going to get some green peppers. I wonder if I can saute them with cooking spray, rather than extra virgin olive oil?

Day 1 on the GM Diet

I have eaten some watermelon, cantaloupe, 2 apples, and a serving of chicken broth. I have drank, so far, 8 cups of water. I'll add another two tonight. I'll probably also eat some blueberries. I did eat one animal cracker. I expect tomorrow to be pretty hard. I'm not much of a veggie gal, but I have some cabbage and carrots and celery and broccoli and squash. I'll have to see if I can have V8. If I can have V8, I'll probably be okay. At any rate, a week isn't forever and this will be a good start to a diet that works. I just feel like I need to get rid of my taste for bad sugars.

GM Diet

So, I need to do something drastic. I gained 3 pounds in a week. Eating ice cream everyday during training evidently wasn't a good idea to my waist line (but it was so good). So I'm going to try the GM diet for a week, maybe two weeks with some modifications. After I'm done with the diet, I intend to eat more fruits and veggies, less fats and meats. I'm even considering going vegan, though I'm not sure how I would do doing that. I don't do well with eating little bits of bad stuff so I guess I'll try a eat nothing bad diet for a while and see if that works. I'm hoping it does; I need to do something. Once my broken toe heals, I'll start exercising. I'm considering starting to run this spring. I HATE running, but maybe I can learn to like it.

So today, on day 1, I've eaten some watermelon. I have some apples, blueberries and cantaloupe for the rest of today. Tomorrow will be a veggie day and maybe some soup. I intend to allow one or two cups of chicken broth if I want it. I may make the cabbage soup tomorrow or the following day. I highly doubt I will eat the amount of beef they suggest. I'll probably head to Kroger tomorrow or the following day to see what sort of lean beef I can get. So there we are. Here's to skinny jeans!
