so here’s what’s going down.
So back in November I went on this really strict diet that pretty much only consists of protein and vegetables (and barely any of it) and lost 20 pounds. I was monitored by a doctor and it was really intense but worked super well. Unfortunately, I totally fucked it up by binging for weeks after and the wait slowly crept back up until my current situation.
I weighed myself a few days ago… and it was worse than expected. 165. I FREAKED. This can’t happen before college. So for the past 2 days I have been back on this strict diet, and I am enforcing it hard for the next 3 weeks. This morning I was already at 163, and I’m hoping 161 by tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted. I’m dropping 15-20 pounds before college starts.

Okay, day 2!! I had the same exact breakfast as yesterday. 1 Cup of bran cereal with 1 cup skim milk (add sliced banana), and a container of low-fat yogurt > Around 300 calories.
I’m going to the gym now… and planning on burning at least 600 calories. woohoo!! I’m going to weigh myself tomorrow morning and I’m really hoping to be under 160.
8/19/2010 Continued…
So the rest of the day went decently for day 1. It’s always hard for me to start off a diet because I usually drastically transforming the way that I eat. It’s not even that I eat unhealthy, it’s that I eat too much food in general.
For lunch, I had a cup of carrot soup. It was around 100 calories. I also gave in and had 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, so let’s just add another 200 calories.
For dinner, I ate salmon, salad, and plain yogurt. The problem that I had today was not measuring portion sizes exactly. I don’t think my dinner went over 400 calories though, maybe 500 to be safe.
400 + 300 + 500 = 1200 calories
Ehh… that’s not too bad. I’m worried that I’m forgetting something though. And I also didn’t make it to the gym. It was a start.
My goal for tomorrow is to workout for at least 75 minutes. 60 minutes of cardio + 15-30 minutes of strength training. I also don’t want to eat any more than 1200 calories tomorrow, exactly. I will measure everything precisely so that I know for a fact I’m not overeating. I’m going to try to get to bed early tonight too so that I don’t head to the kitchen…
I got this.
160!!!!
Obviously that number is still super high, but that means I’ve lost 5 pounds after only 2 days of dieting. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Today’s lunch
1 slice whole wheat toast - 110
3 oz turkey - 100
1 cup ginger carrot soup - 100
I’m just going to estimate up and say 350 calories. I’m suppose to go out to sushi tonight with my friends for a going away dinner. How much sushi can I eat to stay under 300-350 calories? I need to check into this.
