Ok, so today is day 1 of this lovely diet. Last night my husband said he would do all of thse diets with me that way we could compare the differences between men and women. Which I thought was a great idea. As well men lose so much faster than women do.
This morning I forced myself to get out of bed before my 1 year old woke up. I weighed myself and so did my husband. Now I am keeping my weigh to myself but I will let you all know how much was lost at the end of the diet. I then forced myself to eat breakfast. Normally I am not a breakfast person, but I will follow the diet as it is called for.
Both my husband and I had Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters cereal. Which it was very good! The 1cup of milk I feel is WAY too much milk for that much cereal. We also added 1 cup of strawberries. I scarfed that down as I started to hear my 1 year old fuss and wake up. I know breakfast is supposed to be the mot important meal of the day. Let's see what kind of effect it actually has on me. Usually around 2pm exactly I am dead to the world! I want to sleep and my back starts t hurt from sitting in my office chair all day. I am hoping that with breakfast and healthy food I will have more energy for the entire day.
My lunch today consists of 4 cups of salad mix which is half of a bag of those pre-mixed salad bags you buy at the grocery store. With 4oz of chicken breast that I baked in the oven last night with some Mrs. Dash seasoning. I do not like balsamic vinegar. So yes I am bending the rules here on lunch time. I bought a a fat free Raspberry Vinegarette with extra virgin olive oil to replace it.
Dinner tonight will be grilled chicken breast with some kind of Ms. Dash seasoning and a baked potato with seasoning since I normally love my baked potato covered in butter, sour cream, and chives. Also, some kind of steamed veggie. Which as I am typing this I realized I forgot my Diet Coke in the fridge at home! Well crap! I did bring my water bottle though. You are allowed to have artificial sweetener drinks but ofcourse it encourages you to mostly drink water.
If anyone else would like to try this diet with me, go for it. I would love to hear about your experience with it as well.
