What about PB and Nutella! Or PB and honey on toast - so it is all hot and goes all melty into the bread!

I love Nutella :drool:

Nutella....I was trying to remember that....good stuff....and slightly less 'evil' than peanut butter....

melty pb is yummy.... messy and damn near perfect.

well - i think i've hit a "stride" on my psmf. it's suddenly a lot easier. appetite is hardly an issue now. big sigh of relief. i thought it might get harder as each week went by but now i'm thinking maybe week #1 is the hardest.

i've lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks. 6 in week 1 and 2 in week 2. i'm cool with that. i was hoping to lose 3 lbs in the 2nd week but i'll take 2.

today is the first day i can really see a change in the mirror so now it's really on and cracking. nothing motivates me like seeing some improvement. jeans fitting much "cuter" that means i still can't fit into the ones that used to fit but are too small now...but other pairs that were a bit snug (but wearable) are perfect now.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

I learned a long time ago not to discuss my eating plans/diets etc. with people at work. But this one came out of nowhere and it was so classic I thought I'd share...

I'm warming up my 6 egg white w/veggies breakfast in the microwave and a woman who works here clears her throught and says "excuse me...I don't mean to pry but are you dieting?" I decide to keep it simple and light - "yep, just dropping a few holiday pounds"

Her response: "Don't take this the wrong way but that's an awful lot of food to eat at once if you're trying to lose weight"

I'm such a piggy. 6 egg whites... at once!

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Or not.

Burner02

holy schnikes! I eat 6 egg whites at once....(w/ one yolk...and turkey...fills me up)


So...fitting into old jeans? How about some progress pics! (for for motivational skills..)

Happy Monday!

had a pretty good workout saturday. i was really tired at the end. that's where i can feel the difference of 800 calories a day - but so far the weights are hanging in there. nothing to be proud of, but no less "sucky" than before i started psmf. i consider that to be a good thing.

full body - 2 sets of everything
incline db press
bb row
military presses
hack squats
sldl
standing calf raises
hammer curls
pushdowns

still neglecting abs.
still not drinking enough water.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

doing ok - how about you?

i've been spending way too much time thinking about why i can't just have 800 calories a day of whatever food i want and still get lean.

Monday: 800 calories cheerios & nonfat milk
Tuesday: 800 calories English muffin pizzas
Wednesday: 800 calories peanut butter cups
Thursday: 800 calories ice cream
Friday: 800 calories ravioli
Saturday: 800 calories pop tarts
Sunday: 800 calories french fries.

i know...i know..

I'm not sure. Funny you should ask today because I just really started thinking about it myself last night. Officially (by the book) I can go up to 6 weeks. In all honesty, I don't think I'll go that long. I'm starting to not feel so great. (to be expected I'm sure - but I don't like it)

I'm not that hungry anymore. I manage just fine to get through my day - but when I get home and sit down I feel awful. Totally drained and "foggy". I just sit there like a lump on a log with no energy. If I keep moving I'm ok but as soon as I stop - I feel like crap.

I think I'll probably go another week and a half and then add in some carbs. (think cheerios and whole wheat toast with SF Smuckers - not just oats )

I'll still be dieting and calories will still be low - just not AS low. I'll keep a cheat meal in my plan but ditch the refeeds. Still figuring it out....but there will be Cheerios. It's essential.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

plus the freaking scale hasn't moved in 4 days (at 800-840 calories per day) which really pisses me off. AND i seem to have a constant stomach ache.

this concludes my complaining for today.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Burner02

How about adding one small well balanced meal?

I'm not the one to ask about for nutricion....
I keep hearing about 'refeeds'...might wanna look into them...takea weekend, and eat good. (keep the food healthy, but eat some good cals...) then eat your recommended cals. Your body will love you. You will feel better, have energy...be good stuff.

jeans are looser but not drastically and i feel like i've been drastically dieting with the calories this low....so another week and a half and i'm going to nudge them up some and have a carb food i like every day. i don't like not liking any of my food.

if i have at least one thing a day i like...i'll be able to hang in there a lot longer. (and i don't mean pizza or mcdonalds - just something like ww toast with sf jam.)

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Or not.

nikegurl

plus if i have some carbs every day i think the scale will be less all over the place. i prefer that over always allowing for water weight gain following a refeed etc.

i'm sticking to my psmf another week and a half.

then i'll fiddle just a little and see how things progress.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

du u take any MRP's?
I just think your cals are too low...but won't harp...maybe let yourself have a big steak and baked potato....tellin' ya...your body will respond! (In a good way) Maybe like, this Sunday. Didn't u say you have a boyfriend? Have him take u to a good steak house and enjoy yourself...or stay in and grill steaks...
I used to grill GREAT steaks for my now ex...let's just say, that if I had done anything to get her upset with me....that steak was the perfect: I don't know HOW I ever could have been mad at you" thing I could do...

food = forgiveness. i love it.

i've actually had a cheat meal each week and a small refeed (carbs only) so don't feel TOO badly for me. i was thinking crab legs this weekend.

things are "working" but this plan was meant to be short term. i don't want to get my metabolism TOO used to 800-850 calories a day. the intent was to use it to jumpstart my weight loss and then transition into something more sane (higher calories, carbs included kind of thing)

i've decided on my own that when i do ease into a longer term cutting diet i'm going to focus on getting enough protein, eating veggies, keeping calories in check, having healthy fats.... and NOT be so freaked out by "the perfect carb"

i won't just eat yams and oats for instance. i still have weight to lose so calories will be kept in check and i'm not going to indulge in sugar (much or often) but i'm having those cheerios. really. i am.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

although i'm pretty sure 3 candy bars would be just about right for me today.

reeses
twix
reeses again

that would probably get the metabolism zipping along again.
