bizarre

I weighed myself this morning and discovered that I was 130.6 lbs. This was a suprise since I didn't work out yesterday and ate at least 12 almonds and a ton of
salami (that had some carbs), steak and chicken. And, because I was feeling a little phlemgmy, I didn't really workout. I did about 20 lunges and called it a night.

I know it may seem that this would be liscense to me to not workout and eat more, but I am not curious to see how far this diet can take me in changing my body and eating habits. I can see other physiological changes - I am sleeping more, my face is clearing up and I feel more consistent energy.

One a complete seperate topic - turbo chicken is so awesome not to mention easy! The meat was moist and the skin crispy. I also loved the sauce that J sent to me! YUM-O!

One Week

I have been so horrible in updating my blog. This week has been good overall. I had some initial bad mood swings (partially due to PMS), but otherwise feeling pretty good on TNT.

TNT Diet

It's amazing how much bigger you can get in just a matter of days. A week of straight overindulging has resulted in five extra pounds and an additional pant size. YIKES! I haven't been this big in almost a year.

I am so grateful to have such a supportive husband. Because of my sudden weight-gain, I haven't been in the best mood. He reassures and encourages me when I need it the most and supports me by going on the same food program. First, it was NutriSystem and now he's going on the TNT diet with me (well a variation of the TNT diet because he's trying to finish up the NutriStystem food for me).

Anyway, here are my stats. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 12 weeks. Thanks YoungVeezy for your help, advice and accountability!

Weight: 141 lbs.
I still need to do my measurements

Breakfast

Protein shake with instant coffee, cream and water
Two egg omlette with cheese

Lunch
Beef salad with a little blue cheese dressing and egg

Dinner
Chinese food without rice

Snack
Shake and sugarfree jello

Break

I took a break from blogging my meals and exercise the past two months.. mostly because I've been bad. After losing and gaining a few points, I'm at a point where I need to exercise and eat well again.

I have some NS meals left which I'll probably finish off. Afterwards, I'll start my protein shakes in the morning, lunches of chicken salads or soups and then a dinner of protein and vegetables. Desserts will be sugarfree jello or yogurt or fruit. When i did this earlier in the year, I felt healthy and lost a few pounds in the process. We'll see what happens. My goal is to get in shape for our Costa Rica trip in April.

Curses Costco Cashews!

I was at Costco on Wednesday and made a genius move of buying a tub of cashews. Everytime I buy them from Costco, Dave and I end up polishing the whole thing in a matter of days. Sure enough, we finished them yesterday. And my tongue is cut up from all the salt from the nuts! BOO HOO!
Except for the lisping, maybe my having my tongue all cut up is a blessing in disguise because it's taking me an extra amount of time and effort to consume anything. Our office is having a Thanksgiving potluck today and I have no desire to eat anything that will require me to chew. LOL.

Breakfast - Rotisserie chicken and broccoli, double espresso with soymilk

Lunch - Office potluck (it was bad)

Dinner - Shabu

Midnight snack - two waffles, hot cocoa (bad)

Friday!

So I weight myself today and I dropped three pounds since Tuesday. It took a while to adjust to eating low-carb again. I experienced some light headedness yesterday while working out. I did 24SET, which was a class that involved step and resistance (hi reps, low weights). It pretty much worked out most of the muscle groups in the body. I am actually sore today from using three pounder hand weights and a 10 lb barbell.
Anyway, today I am going to do a TKB class after work.

Food
