I'm starting my program from Jenny Lynn tomorrow. She put me on a cutting nutrition plan, 1400 calories. No fruit. I will stick with it for at least a month and see how it works out, then will up the calories with to start increasing muscle after that.

She also suggested L-Glutamine and an Antioxidant. Both of which I bought today at GNC (probably got reamed on $$$ but couldn't make it to my regular supp store) and haven't used before.

I'm really excited about this!!

Nice to see you back Hiker, Ive missed you!

I just came back from a week in Cuba, and I read Dr Phills book TWICE! Yup, 2X! I actually made some connections this time. I highlighted numerous parts, and am going to write up my own 'notes' just as soon as I have some time. I am deff ready and willing to be on the right track this time. I really enjoyed his exercies too.

Good luck with all dear!

Jodi, I emailed you last night. Let me know what you think.

Hi Jilly! How was Cuba? I am reading Dr. Phils book now and there is definitely stuff sinking in. It has been a big help so far. I'm reading it slowly so that stuff sinks in for a couple days, so I think I'm only on the second chapter but I really like it!

All I had at the wedding last night that was not on my plan was 5 grapes and a bite of watermelon. The hardest part of this plan is not having fruit! I keep going to the fridge and grabbing an apple or pear and catching myself. It's only for a few weeks though and then I will add it back in.

So far, so good. I will have no problem sticking with this for a few weeks. Just to get the couple pounds I have gained off, then will add more regular things in, like fruit and some dairy (lowfat cottage cheese). I miss the sugar free syrup in my yogurt, almonds and cashews, and the fruit. I plan on having a couple cheat meals, as I go out to dinner with a girlfriend every couple weeks. We usually go to Red Robin and I get their turkey wrap with turkey, avocado, provolone and lots of veggies. It comes with cantaloupe and their amazing french fries. So it's somewhat healthy, but still makes me feel like I'm having a treat. I don't want to be too strict with myself. When I've done that in the past that is when I go a bit crazy and end up binging.

One thing I know though, is that sugar is EVIL. I truly cannot have it in my life. Their is no portion control when it comes to ice cream and things like that. So, I'm just not doing it. I feel much better when I'm off it, both physically and mentally. I swear it messes with my hormones. I had my last sugar for awhile on Friday. So today, is Day Two. No problem.

Tuesday

Meal 1
protein pancakes (whey, egg whites, ground flax)
1/2 cup oatmeal

Meal 2
1 cup wild rice
30 g whey with glutamine
1/4 cup cashews

Meal 3
tuna w/ lowfat mayo and celery
1 cup carrots

Meal 4
40 g whey
3 fish caps
(will have sweet potato here if very hungry!)

Meal 5
shrimp
2 cups zucchini

Okay, I deviated slightly off plan today. I hate plain egg whites. They make me gag. I can have them once in awhile and be okay, but every day? This is a lifestyle not a diet, so I am kicking the whites every day to the curb.
Also, my plan is not supposed to have nuts in it. I also think (and Jodi confirmed this) that it is too low in carbs and fat for me. I'm upping my fat a bit with the nuts, and will take in more veggies to increase carbs for now. I love carrots so, the GI index be damned, they are vegetables and if I want them I will eat them. It's not a candy bar for goodness sake.

Went to the zoo today with my girl. The animals were out and playing , it was so cute. She loves elephants, she claps when she sees them and screams "Elphine Elphine!!" She is so cute!

Try cooking onions, peppers, and mushrooms in a pan with pam. Then, take them out, wipe the pan, and THEN cook your egg whites. When the whites are almost done throw in the sauteed veggies, and cook for a couple more minutes. Its SO filling with little cals, high protein and veggies! Thats the only way I can eat egg whites.

Blah! I cheated yesterday just because I felt like I should. That I had been eating great all week and it was time to cheat. Dumb! I had some ice cream, so there is the attack of sugar starting. I made Dustin a cake for Fathers Day (which came out very cute by the way, and Im no Martha ) and decided I would eat some of the left over frosting. Gross!
