Day 4: Last 1600

Hooray..  I had a light work schedule and day 4 is the last day of the 1600 calorie limit.. Now i am going to upgrade to 2000..  Do you know what a difference 400 calories makes???  A lot!.  Now i think the diet is transitioning from their fixed scheduled meals to just 5: 400 calorie meals of my choice..  So now its 1-breakfast, 2-snack, 3- lunch; 4- snack; 5- dinner.  Im still getting those cravings at night and i find that the best remedy for that is to just sleep and hope for tomorrow's bountiful breakfast... 

Day 3: curbin it

Wow day 3 already..  dang..i wish it were day 32.  My cravings are starting to change, and i mean "starting."  I forgot to eat my afternoon snack, so i ate some more for dinner to make my 1600 cal..  if i dont make that mark, and eat less, my body will start going into starvation mode and i wont lose weight.   I feel a lot less bloated and my size 36 gap dress pants are getting slippery. Ive noticed every time i go on a diet and actually gave a rip about what im eating i tend to lose lbs and inches quickly..  shows how bad i usually eat.  I like that feeling of slimming down and not having to have shame pillows covering my belly while sitting down.lol...  i bet by next week ill need a new whole/notch in my belt.  I cant wait till my weigh-in next monday.  For dinner i found these frozen halibut filets. and they were only 110 calories a piece.. AMAZING

Day 2: keeping it goin...

Well Day 2 underway..  I feel pretty good.. well because i only had a 1/2 day at work; but last night i was so hungry and just thinking about food i went to bed at 9:30..   which is extremely rare and my normal bed time is hours later.  Unfortunately i couldn't stick to the exact meal plan as the day went on and missed some snack times, due to being at a friends house; I still stuck to 1600 calories..  I cant wait until a week goes by and im used to the diet and shed those late fatty cravings. 

DAY 1: im ok I guess

Day 1 is underway... I felt good about myself. Losing weight is a good thing right? Im on the right path for skenny-ness. I weighed myself: $%@!.. 246 lb. Not bad... considering how much i ate during the holidays.. I usually am at 250 right on the dot...( ok ok .. sometimes + 6lb ) but that was an all time high.. Anyway the diet has you doing four 400 calorie meals for the first four days.. so that is 1600 calories total. I mean sounds impossible when your regular diet is five times that.lol. Then I can only drink something called Fire Water/ and no its not alcohol, its [water;ginger;lime; Tabasco sauce; cucumbers; and mint]. its supposed to help curb your cravings.. Well I guess it works because all it does is just chemically collapse your esophagus.
Anyways.. I ate a cup of unsweetened corn flakes and made my small lunch and snack.. For being on my feet all day and doing physical therapy work i felt pretty good during my 10 hour shift. until about 4/5pm i started to get extremely hungry. Well I didn't get off until 7pm and was completely miserable. Got home and found that i could only eat :1 cup of brown rice; 1 cup of green beans; and 4 oz of chicken breast.( which isnt that much). Felt kinda good after eating and now im ok I guess..... we will see how i do since i have a condition called CMFS or (CHRONIC MIDNIGHT FATTY SYNDROME). Its so sad.. since i was little i have been plagued with starving at night.. so i would eat... and eating made me not cry to sleep..lol..
I will post my measurements tomorrow... dont laugh out loud.. do it silently. Well ill be dreaming of............

My Flat Belly Diet

Here I go........ its 2010 and yep diet diet diet.. Which diet you ask???? Well its called the {FLAT BELLY DIET } For Men. The main point is reducing your caloric intake.. eating healthier meals... eating 5 times a day, and eating MUFA (monounsaturated fat, a so-called good fat). for 32 days... and guess what .......WITHOUT EXERCISE....hooray!! But of course i will (moderately) hahaha. They say you can lose up to 27lbs and a bunch of inches from your waist and neckage. I havent completely read the whole book but the science is that the MUFA's attack the belly fat and is good for that visceral junk too.
Mufa's are found in:

1. Oils (olive)
   
2. Nuts & Seeds
3. Avocado
4. Olives
5. Dark Chocolate

Well, for my 1st blog ever, I am going to document my daily progress with this diet, for 32 days.. from Jan 11th to Feb 12th. I plan on at least exercising 3 days a week. Ill give the nitty-gritty numbers even though its embarrassing ...hahaha. ill keep you posted.
