My Diet for Week #1:

I’m very serious about my new diet and new workout routine. Tomorrow I’m meeting up with my personal trainer to set some serious goals and a plan to meet them in an reasonable timeframe. I’m excited because this is the kind of help I think will put me on the right track towards and better and more healthy lifestyle. I didn’t force myself to eat things I don’t like, cause all the stuff below I liked and enjoyed eating. Doing things like adding cheese and olives to the salads for example and tossing in a fat free Italian dressing made it a treat, not a chore to eat. It’s all mind over matter people… and I’m as serious as a heart attack on this one. If I’m going to diet, I’m going the whole nine yards… well as close to that as I can.

When I told you guys I was going to make a change, I wasn’t shitting you. Here is a full list of the stuff I had over the last week. I started this diet on Tuesday, the day I started going to the gym. The only time I strayed from my new eating plan was when I had Hamburger Helper on Friday, but I was invited for a friend’s for supper, and you don’t dictate to someone else what to make when you’re invited. It was a nice treat, and because of that I was able to resist the BBQ they had at work that day cause I had something else to look forward to. With the exception of the friday supper, I have the stuff necessary to repeat this exact menu over the next week… and I look forward to it.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, and I’ll be around.

Sounds like you’re off to a great start. 🙂 My fiance and I eat a lot of Hamburger Helper (it’s cheap and easy to make). As long as you just eat one serving, and you follow the exact serving suggestion on the box, calorie-wise it’s a pretty comfortable dinner (not a diet disaster, ya know?). I need some of that gym motivation! lol

Aloha… Good luck on shaping the new “you”…! Ryn: Eh…! Smiles……………….

Dear God, I would starve to death on that diet. What you will eat in 2 days I usually eat in one.

Sounds like a pretty good start to me!! 🙂 Good luck on this! Oh, and just a few suggestions from me (who just startet changing her diet, too): Leave out the sugared drinks (or the diet versions of them). They are just unhealthy, and if they have caffeine in it, they don’t even count as water intake. Pure fruit juice and plain water or teas is better. Hugs! Sophie

About diets: I at one point lost about 40-50 pounds and I did it by restricting my food intake during the week and riding my stationary bike every single day. On Friday, I gave myself the night off and ate whatever I felt like (usually pizza or a burger) and I ate a little more for dinner on the weekends but didn’t go crazy. I think the day off is the best part. A reward to work toward.

And one bad dinner one night of the week is not going to ruin anything.
