Diet Update: Week 3-4

Well, when I weighed in last Friday, I was 149.5. Sigh. I kinda knew that the initial 5 lbs was too good to be true. But I'm not too discouraged yet. It's a lifestyle change, too, really. Hopefully by summer end (ie, Burning Man), I will be back to "normal," whatever that is. I just want to be able to wear my damn pants again! Here is where we left off:

Thursday:
1 Soy Chai w/ light soy 100
1 Special K 180
1 Slim Fast 180
1 Carrots/hummus 95
6 Sashimi pieces 218
4 Pcs Sushi 440
1 Seaweed Salad 140
1 Miso Soup 80
4 Drinks 465
Subtotal 1898
43 min Gym: Cardio -385
Total 1513

Friday:
1 Grande soy white mocha 390
1 Bacon Artisan Sammie 380
1 Carrots/hummus 95
1 Grilled Cheese 485
1 Venti Rasp Black Tea Lemonade 220
1 Wheat Linguine w/Alfredo 391
Subtotal 1961
n/a Gentle Yoga 0
Total 1961

Notice the n/a for the yoga. Somehow Jessa and I talked ourselves out of that. Fridays are hard yoga days, especially since it starts at 6 and we'd rather be chillaxin by then! Hopefully we'll do it this week. I need it!

This week:
Monday:
1 Coffee (black) + hot chocolate 122
25 Blueberries 20
1 Mortadella Sammie 800
10 Pcs Sashimi 400
1 Seaweed Salad 140
1 Glass OJ 110
Subtotal 1592
48 min Gym: Cardio + resistance (legs) -436
Total 1156

Tuesday (today/unfinished):
1 Coffee (black) + hot chocolate 122
25 Blueberries 20
1 Special K + light soy milk 150
Subtotal 292

I'm not giving up hope! C'mon sexy Burning Man body-I wanna get nekked!

Diet Update: Week 3

Ok, well I know I kinda stopped reporting things. I have yet to weigh myself again cuz I have this teeny weeny feeling that those 5 lbs didn't stay off as I would have liked. But I am not all the way discouraged yet! I have been *trying* to stick with it! This week is looking a lot better than last. So I'll just put up my thus far results for this week:

Monday:
1 Special K 180
1 Soy Chai (w/light soy) 140
1 Slim Fast 180
1 Srvg Cheesy Garlic Orzo 252
1 Srvg Chicken w/mushroom sauce 225
2 Miller Lights 130
Subtotal 1107
30 min Gym: Cardio -277
Total 830

Tuesday:
1 Special K 180
1 Soy Chai (w/light soy) 160
1 Slim Fast 180
1 Srvg carrots/hummus 95
1 Salad w/avo,chic,cuc 335
0.5 Srv Orzo 113
1 Grilled Cheese on wheat 485
Subtotal 1548
43 min Gym: Cardio + resistance (arms) -400
Total 1148

Wednesday:
1 Soy Chai w/ light soy 160
1 Special K 180
1 Srv carrots/hummus 95
1 Taco Bell Taco 170
1 Taco Bell Burrito 370
1 Lucca's Deli Sammie 807
Subtotal 1782
2 hr Soccer -922
Total 860

So today will be much the same. Special K breakfast, Slim Fast lunch (I know, I skipped it yesterday and got some Taco Bell, but I went from 3 Taco Bell items down to 2 and one can only have Slim Fasts for lunch so many times! Besides, I think the 2 hrs of soccer deserved some more calories beforehand anyways), I think sushi for dinner. Tho, I will be getting mostly sashimi this time since rice = calories and fish = not so many calories! I will be hitting the gym again, providing my legs don't feel like jello by then from the soccer-ing yesterday... maybe no resistance today, however. We'll see how I feel by then. Tomorrow is yoga! So I feel pretty decent about this week. I may actually check in with the ol' scale tomorrow to see whether I am actually making any progress, or if those 5 initial lbs were, in fact, only because I was sick that week. Cross your fingers! I *need* to fit into that damned bridesmaid dress by July 11th!!!!!

Diet Results: Week 1

Ok, so I lost 5 lbs in the first week! Granted, I was pretty sick those last few days and thus wasn't really all that hungry, so it was a little easier than normal. Plus, I had parties all weekend, so I probably gained most of that back. Sigh. I'm not giving up. Especially since I re-tried on my bridesmaid dress over the weekend and I'm pretty sure it won't zip up in my current state (tho it was close and possible force-able haha). I think 5 more lbs will do it. I have until July 11th. So, I'm not all better from this damn cold yet... but I'll be hitting the gym up today regardless. That's what's really going to help me lose this weight (and keep it off)! I can't be doing this Slim Fast business forever! It's just to help me with these first few lbs in the first few weeks. So keep your fingers crossed for me - I can do it!

Current weight as of 5/29/09: 145.5 lbs
