Day 2

Today was Day 2 of the diet. It was a lot harder than yesterday because I was dying for something sweet and full of carbs but I stuck to it. This is what I had:

Breakfast:

• 2 eggs, scrambled
• 2 strips of turkey bacon

Snack:

• 1.5 oz Smoked Almonds

Lunch:

• Frozen Broccoli
• Bacon and Cheese Chicken Sticks

Snack:

• 1.5 oz Smoked Almonds

Dinner:

• Frozen Cauliflower
• Frozen Meatballs

Overall Rating B+

I had eggs again for breakfast. I know this is going to get old very soon for me so I will have to think of creative ideas for breakfast. I can only eat eggs for 2-3 days a week max! For lunch I had chicken sticks and they were yummy. I don't know what to do about the veggies because I hate frozen veggies. I added some butter and lemon pepper to the broccoli to make it taste better. For dinner, I had enough with the frozen veggies, so I decided to make a cauliflower puree. After I warmed it up in the microwave, I put it in the blender. I pureed it with some beef stock, a pat of butter, salt and pepper. It was almost like mock mashed potatoes. The meatballs were ok. Hence the B+ rating. I hate meatballs coming out of a microwave. They were dry and gritty. Maybe next time I will pan fry them to give it a better texture. I did walk for 20 minutes and got 6500 steps in. I also drank my 8 glasses of water. All in all, a good day.

Day 1

Today I started the Personal Trainer Food diet. This is what I had:

Breakfast:(This is on my own. I did not purchase any breakfasts on this plan)

• Veggie Egg Scramble = 2 eggs with sautéed spinach, onions and bell peppers. Sautéed with butter.
• 1 oz. cheddar cheese
• 2 strips turkey bacon

Snack: (This is on my own. I did not purchase snacks)

• 1.5 oz of smoked almonds

Lunch:

• Frozen Brussel Sprouts
• Frozen Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sticks
• Sweet garlic vegetable sauce

Dinner:

• Frozen Broccoli
• Frozen Smoked Brisket
• 1 oz of cheddar cheese
• Sweet garlic vegetable sauce

Overall Rating: A-

I did like the taste of the food. The Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sticks taste like Tyson Buffalo Chicken Strips. The Smoked Brisket was kind of fatty but not bad. The frozen veggies are just that... frozen veggies. I have to jazz it up with spices to make it more palatable. I tried the sweet garlic vegetable sauce that comes with the plan. It was ok. I think tomorrow I might try using lemon pepper seasoning or sauté it in fresh garlic. I also made sure to drink my water and get in 5000 steps for the day. They suggest getting in 10-15 minutes of walking per day or 5000 steps.

I am going through major sugar withdrawals. I would kill for a Kit Kat or some cake but I know it takes 3-4 days to get over the sugar cravings. My stomach does feel flatter. I know it is only 1 day but I honestly feel like my clothes are fitting better. I don't plan on weighing myself. They tell you not to weigh yourself. I might after the 1st week to see if I lost any weight. Hopefully day 2 will be just as good as day 1. As long as I can get over my love affair with desserts!
