The Revolving Diet

Day 364 ~ 1/19/11

This is the last day of this diet and I have to say - I still have my little wrinkles (I really didn't think they would go away), but my face is actually really smooth.  Not that I have zits, although the occasional one makes a visit at the most inopportune time in the most obvious of places (on tip of nose, corner of lip, smack dab in middle of cheek.....) - but seriously my face is like a baby's butt SMOOOOOTH!!

Got 20 minutes of floor exercises in (need to mix it up once in awhile!!) I will be increasing my exercise with some added support of hubby.  We already moved tread-climber to living room and we have a Total Gym we will be moving in there next - - in attempt to combine TV viewing with exercising and hopefully increasing the time we spend on the actual exercise equipment; plus the added bonus is I won't be able to use the exercise equipment as a clothes hanger or "catch all" as it's RIGHT THERE when you walk in the living room, no longer just hanging out in my bedroom making it easy to just throw stuff on.

Meals for today - - Pretty much same as yesterday:

 Morning Wake-up.....1 bottle water

 Breakfast
Scrambled eggs (3 egg whites ,1 whole egg),1/2 cup oatmeal 4 oz cubed cantaloupe, 1 bottle water

 Lunch
1 can water packed tuna, 2 cups mixed lettuce, 1 tablespoon mustard, 4 oz cubed cantaloupe, 1 bottle water

 Snack
2 ounces low-sodium Boars Head sliced chicken breast ,4 raw hazelnuts, 1 granny smith apple, 1 bottle water

  Dinner
6 ounces grilled fresh Tuna, 2 cups romaine lettuce, 1 tablespoon olive oil  & lemon juice, 1 cup steamed broccoli, 1 bottle water 

 Snack 

6 oz plain yogurt, 1/2 pear, 4 almonds, 1 cup water

 

I hope your day went well, you kept positive and you are surrounding yourself with positive people that support your goals (or at least keep the goodies out of reach).

 

Check back tomorrow for a Really Looooooooong Update ---- 365 Days!!! 

 

 

Have an AWESOME night!!!!

 

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

Day 363 ~ 1/18/11

 Well we are into the third week of the new year - How are things going on your end?

Are you able to get that exercise in?  

Getting exercise in is difficult to do - If I didn't wear my workout clothes to bed the majority of the time I probably would blow off exercise completely.  But making the time for yourself - whether you are married with kids or single - you need to schedule the exercise like you would a doctor or hair appointment.  If you write it on the calendar and get in the habit of "keeping your appointments" you will be surprised that the time you schedule for yourself,  you are not only getting the exercise in you are also helping to relieve the stress of the day. Making you less irritable and less likely to reach for that chocolate bar or chicken wings!!!

I did not exercise this morning as I had a blood work appointment to check me out and make sure that doing these different diets have not affected me negatively. It's been a year - I just gotta make sure I am not doing anything too bad to my system....BUT....I did get 1/2 mile walk in after work!! 

I am feeling good!  I hope you are too!!

Morning Wake-up.....1 bottle water

 Breakfast
Scrambled eggs (3 egg whites ,1 whole egg),1/2 cup oatmeal 4 oz cubed cantaloupe, 1 bottle water

 Lunch
1 can water packed tuna, 2 cups mixed lettuce, 1 tablespoon mustard, 4 oz cubed cantaloupe, 1 bottle water

 Snack
2 ounces low-sodium Boars Head sliced chicken breast ,4 raw hazelnuts, 1 granny smith apple, 1 bottle water

  Dinner
6 ounces grilled fresh Tuna, 2 cups raw spinach, 1 tablespoon olive oil  & lemon juice, 1 cup steamed broccoli, 1 bottle water 

 Snack 

6 oz plain yogurt, 1/2 pear, 4 almonds, 1 cup water

Have a TERRIFIC NIGHT!!!  Keep Going!!!!!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Day 362 ~ 1/17/11

This morning (my birthday) I woke to a 4.2 pound gain - I had two contributing factors - got my period yesterday and had a lovely dinner (with mashed potatoes). 

I am starting this week with a 3 Day Diet - Fish Face Lift Diet.  I wanted to end on Wednesday with a diet and while looking ahead to other diets - this one fit right in.  A major plus with this diet is it is laid out - not a lot of prep work (YEAH!!!)

 Morning Wake-Up – 1 bottle water (16.9 oz)

 Breakfast
3 egg whites and 1 whole egg, 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal ,4 oz cantaloupe, 1 cup water

 Lunch
4 oz  tuna packed in spring water, 2 cups mixed lettuce ,1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice , 4 oz cantaloupe , 1-1/2 bottle water

 Snack
6 oz plain Chobani Greek yogurt, 4 unsalted hazelnuts, 1 green apple (granny smith), 1/2 bottle water

  Dinner
6 oz grilled fresh Tuna, 2 cups romaine lettuce, 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice 1 cup steamed plain broccoli, 4 oz cantaloupe, 1 bottle water

 Snack 

6 oz plain Chobani Greek yogurt, 4 almonds , 1 bottle water

I peed all day.  You would think with all the water I had last week that my body would be used to it....no such luck.  I got 20 minutes of tread climber in this morning !  Other than it being completely boring at work (I think I fell asleep at my desk for a short time) - it was a good day overall.

Looking forward to a relaxing evening - - no special plans for my birthday - But a SHOUT OUT to all of you that wished me a "HAPPY"!!!   THANK YOU!!!!

Have a WONDERFUL EVENING!!!

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
