Day 3 - Not a good day :(

Today I did not follow the personal diet plan. This is what I had:

Breakfast:

• Premier Vanilla Protein Drink

Lunch:

• P.F. Changs Miso Salmon with bok choy - no rice
• 1 lettuce wrap
• 1 bite of chocolate cake

Snack:

• String Cheese Stick

Dinner:

• Frozen Zucchini (I fried it. I was so sick of the frozen crap.)
• Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sticks

Overall Rating C

I broke many rules of the diet today. Unfortunately, I just could not make myself eat another egg. I grabbed a low carb protein drink instead. The diet specifically tells you not to drink protein drinks. I couldn't help myself. I went out for lunch today. My co-workers insisted that they take me out for lunch for my birthday (my birthday was Feb. 14th). I chose P.F. Changs because I knew I would be able to eat low-carb, high protein. I ordered the Miso Salmon. I asked for double vegetables and no rice. I also had a lettuce wrap. They got me a chocolate cake. I told them I couldn't but then I felt bad and took one bite. I know the diet specifically says that having even 1 bite puts you back 2-4 days. Oh well. For dinner, I had the Personal Trainer Food. I was so sick of the frozen veggies that I fried the zucchini and made yummy zucchini chips! The buffalo ranch chicken sticks didn't taste as good as the first day. There was a lot of cartilage in the sticks that grossed me out. I don't feel like eating them anymore! I drank all my water and walked for 25 minutes today. Got in over 6500 steps. I still feel lighter and feel like my tummy is flatter!

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!
