Bad habit to get rid of.

Sometimes I get really hungry late at night and I tend to go for a full meal. Last night needs to be the last time. And you'll see why...

8:00am Slim Fast Shake
11:00am Slim Fast Snack Bar
1:00pm Caesar Salad and a Kellogg Protein Bar
3:30pm Slim Fast Snack Bar
6:15pm Smart Ones Breakfast Sandwich
9:00pm Homemade Ice cream (about a cup)
12:00am From Wendy's: Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Small Fry, 5 Chicken Nuggets

I ate more at midnight then I did at lunch time. Pretty sad once you think about it. And I didn't wait a full hour before sleeping. These late nights will be the end of me. Either way, starting tonight, I'm going to start exercising before dinner. I'm going to use the exercise DVDs that came with the package as well as use a massage hula hoop. I'll probably have more details tomorrow about my exercise plan.

Starting the new way of life

I got my Food Lovers Fat Loss package on Saturday (May15th) and watched the DVD it came with. My boyfriend is now interested in trying this all out with me. We'll see how it goes. The first step has been pretty simple. Just learning more about foods and their basic reactions to the body. I feel like I'm reading a text book for a nutrition class so I'm feeling more and more confident about this. If at the end of the 21 days I don't go down a dress size (I have a pair of 'skinny' jeans that are my current goal to fit in), then I'm going to return the package and start all over.

After I get my paycheck next week, I'm going to start mixing up their detox plan. It's basically a liquid diet that will force my body to clean itself out. It's mostly all natural and I'm no stranger to a detox week. This is just the first time I've seen a detox plan with a lot of good fruits to mix in instead of pills and special teas. I'll let you know how that goes.

But for now, I'm going to use this blog to help me record the foods I eat every day.

Like yesterday 5-17-2010
8:00am Strawberry Pop Tarts
11:00am 1/2 bag of honey roasted peanuts
1:00pm Planet Sub Roast Beef (6 inch)
3:30pm 1/2 bag of honey roasted peanuts
6:30pm Cup of Chicken Noodle Soup
9:00pm Handful of cauliflower and a sugar cookie
11:30pm Three garlic breadsticks and a slice of pizza (Thin Crust, Grilled Chicken, Mushrooms)

It seems like a -lot- of food but at least it's spaced out pretty nice. And I went to bed around 12:30am. I should have slept sooner but day in the life of a busy city girl.

Day 1 Ordering

I've been trying everything I can find for diets and I can't seem to make any stick or work well. I did drop 40 lbs after cutting down my soda intake but I can't seem to find any more. I've been on the Slim Fast diet, tried using the Slim Quick water additives, and I exercise every chance I get. Which isn't as often as I like but at least I'm not refraining from exercising at all.

So I have just purchased the Food Lovers Fat Loss program today. I'll make my next post once it arrives. I'm going to make posts and let you know about my progress. Once a week, I'm going to weigh myself, measure my waist, and take pictures to keep a record of my progress. I'm hoping it'll help keep me motivated.

My goal, to look good in a bikini before the end of summer!!!!
