Day 2 - Going Strong

The hardest part of this diet is the social aspect. I know it is only day 2, but yesterday I met my entire family out for dinner at my favorite Indian Restaurant. My family centers everything around the dinner table; if you are not eating, something is wrong. To make my things more complicated they were two hours late. My solution to both of these issues was to eat my own dinner (spaghetti squash and round eye steak) at my usual time (6pm). I stayed on schedule, wasn't hungry, and therefore wasn't at all tempted by the delicious naan and curry.

At dinner, I had a huge glass of water in front of me. When food was passed around, I served myself a piece (about 1/2 an oz) of chicken boti (grilled chicken, no sauce), and one tbsp of spinach and one tbsp of eggplant. Everyone was so busy with their food they didn't notice my plate.

I feel full all the time. It is only day 2, so I am still happy with my meals but I am sure I will start to get bored soon.

I'm up at 5:30 to enjoy my favorite breakfast. It's kind of like a breakfast burrito bowl: salsa, avocado, brown rice, and egg whites. It is sooooooooo filling and yummy!!

PS this is a mixing bowl. It is a about 500 grams of food for less than 400 calories. Something to think about.

Day 1 - So Excited

Today is my first day of dieting and training. I am so excited to start this journey.

Yesterday, I spent 1 hour baking yams and squashes, grilling turkey and chicken, and measuring rice into tupperware. If food isn't ready, it will be harder for me to stay on track.

Last night was my last cheat. I sinfully enjoyed some whole grain pasta and olive bread with hummus. Then, for dessert, I devoured a Ghiradelli double chocolate brownie sundae with my husband. Way too many carbs, but I felt no guilt. I know the next two months will be the hardest ever.

I've already made a few mistakes with my diet. I poured way too much rice milk in my coffee which put me 60 calories over my goal. I also ate too much rice for my breakfast meal. I will see how I feel by the end of the day and adjust for tomorrow accordingly.60 calories may seem like nothing at all, but I plan of getting through this competition naturally, so I have to keep my macronutrients dialed.

I am working on upper body today. The workout should be less than an hour. Immediately after, I will enjoy the meal pictured above.
