hello
Hey everyone,
I recently started the G.I diet (well 90 % G.I, 10% me!) and have decided to document everything on my lj.
I'd like to get comments or ideas from you...
Wish me luck!
Lola

I just had steamed vegables: asparagus, carrots, portabello mushrooms steamed and lightly tossed in jerk marinade with a drizzle of tomato sauce.
I toosed in a few cubes of feta and 2 veggie sausages.
All in all, Max: 350 calories,
and im quite full.

The trick eat so many vegetabbles that they fill you up.
Leave out the carbs.
Yay.

Wednesday and Thursday
We've been dead so here's yesterday and today:

Wednesday:
Breakfast: Saltwater taffy (oops but we bought candy and no trick or treaters)
Lunch: Chicken black bean nachos at Taco Diner
Dinner: Herb-crusted cod with roasted asparagus
Dessert: chocolate covered strawberries (not so good but mostly fruit)

Today:
Breakfast: Espresso Doubleshot
Lunch: leftover Mu Shi Beef (mostly veggies)
Dinner: will be grilled chicken, more asparagus, and brown rice.

Obviously I'm not doing the raw thing anymore, it made me sick. I'm heading toward a South Beach kinda thing, but I will be including wild rice and brown rice 2-3 times a week. Basically just cutting carbs, all diary will be low fat, lots of veggies and eggs.

i did it under 1200
I ate 1141 callories yesterday. I'm going to stay right around 1200. It isn't as hard as I thought it would be, it's amazing how much easier it is to stay in your callorie range when you eat a lot of fruit, cut out the doctor pepper which I was craving last nighteating no hamburgers no mexican food just even sticking to moderately good shit. I am not starving all day and can still keep under my limits. I need to crank up the excercising a little. I haven't been sleeping well at all for a long time so I'm going to the doctor on Tursday. My mom gave me some of her ambien which seems to be helping for the time being. The lack of sleep has made it hard for me to excercise like I used to because I've got no energy. I think I'll be able to better now that I'm getting a good nights sleep, I already feel tons better. Anyway I'll stop rambling now.

Current Mood: cheerful

Yesterday my callorie count was 1502. That website that I went to said that I needed to stay below 1557 callories in order to loose weight which I barely managed to do, but I'll try today, I've eaten 300 callories. I had a boiled egg and cheese on white toast, because there was no wheat bread left, and a banana. Anyway hopefully I'll be able to keep them at like 1400 today, but I'm going to be at home today doing nothing all day, so it might be somewhat of a challenge.

Okay I found out that I should take in less than 1557 callories per day in order to loose weight, so some where between 1200 and 1500, so I'm on the right track. Think I'll skip the little bag of cheese its today haha. I've had a turkey swiss sub and I've calculated it to about five-hundred callories, and I'm about to eat some grapes so that's sixty more. All right guess that's it for now. I've got to get back in to my jeans that I wore last year, cuz I really don't have the money to buy anymore right now, my business is seasonal and this ain't the season, not to mention the renovations I'm trying to make right now before tanning season starts back up in January. Anyway blah blah blah. I might as well quit ramblling.

Current Mood: bored

Food for the Day!
Breakfast: Special K Cereal
Lunch & Dinner: (Compliments of Work...)
Turkey and Cheese on Italian pieces of bread.

I splurged by drinking a small chocolate shake
along with a friend during lunch. It was worth
it though!

Today.
Early morning I had 1 banana.
Breakfast: 1 banana and one slice of god-awful plastic wrap cheese that is fabulous with bananas.
Lunch: an apple. not hungry.
Dinner: I made a black bean burger with green beans and rice, but the AC is out in our house, so I just ate the burger and green beans, it was all so HOT.
Then I went to the grocery for some decent food.
Second dinner:
Carrot juice
1 plum
1 tangelo

Yum.

Food for the day!

Breakfast: Special K Cereal
Lunch: Two Double Cheeseburgers
Dinner: Small Weight Watchers Pizza
Lots of Water!

I didn't eat the best today that I could've,
I should've had a salad today for lunch,
but I wanted something with more substance.

The good deal of the day though is that I
didn't drink any coke. Yay! You wouldn't
think that would be such a big step for a
person, but it is for me honestly.. And it's
one of the things that is just adding on
tons of calories of course. Rediculous
amouts of them actually...

Today:
Breakfast:
Banana Nut multibran cereal with vanilla soymilk
Lunch:
1 grilled chicken breast with mustard and cheddar
a banana
(I had plans for a tortilla but it tasted weird)
Dinner:
PB & J on flax bread.

I made a curry tofu thing for dinner but man was it gross. Also, I see yogurt-covered raisins in my future.

You know how you just don't want to post about what you've ate when it was all crap?
Well that's how all the last few days were. That's why I wasn't posting. :P

Breakfast: Special K Cereal
Lunch: Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sub
Dinner: Medium Frozen Pizza

But the real kicker of the day is: I didn't drink any Coke today at all.
I avoided it all day long at work. I figured that I was drinking an extra
1400-2000 Calories per week. Terrible I know. I'm trying to cut back
and I'm having a terrible headache due to not having the stuff in my
system I believe. But it's all for the best honestly.

I had to shop at Walmart because of all the hurricane craziness and it is reflected in my eating habits. :( Their fruit just sucks. All their produce sucks. As soon as payday rolls around again I will be going on at least 1 week of only raw fruits and vegetables to reinstill healthy habits.
