day 2

yesterday went really well... i ended up only eating granola cereal, a slice of salomi, and a cheese stick.... my mom was offering to make me food and i was somehow able to refuse. i'm hoping i can keep this up and lose as much weight as i can before the wedding on aug. 6th. i figure the most i can lose is probably about 25-30lbs, if i really kick it into high gear and start working out too... spending the weekend in vernon for 4th of july, gonna try to be really good on my diet, drink lots of coffee and lots of water... i dont know if i'll have a chance to write until my weigh-in on july 5th, but i just cant wait to be under 200lbs again. i hope i can find something nice to wear for the wedding also. probably in black, you know, it's gonna obviously make me look thinner.. i hope i'm in the 185-190 range by august 6th. i'm also going to straighten my hair and put on lots of make-up... who knows who will be there, i mean, really, hehehehehe :)

*can do another 20-40 or so minutes on treadmill for further workout on top of the p90x routine. (whenever)

(eating)
1. big breakfast bowl of cereal or oatmeal w/ or w/out fruit (blueberries/banana, etc) depending on the day.

2. drink lots of water all day. water is your friend and drink lots of it.

3. drink non caffeinated greene tea at night to suppress appetite and speed metabolism (i think)

4. eat a nice big sandwich for lunch with whatever you want on it. (3 slices of wheat or other whole grain bread allowed per day)
(this will change as i slim down further)

5. NO; white bread, sugar, sweets, white rice, white pasta, or soda

6. Try brown rice & whole wheat pasta. (whole wheat bagels count as two slices of bread-- can have for a lunch meal or a breakfast meal)

7. Dinners include veggies and protein (grains also if you can) salads with egg whites or tuna or chick peas or beans, walnuts, etc. low-fat low-sugar dressing. w/ or w/out 1 slice whole wheat tst. can also have fish with boiled veggies or microwaved frozen veggies. Or brown rice with veggies or fish or both. also veggie/chicken and whole wheat noodle soups or brown rice soups with veggies w/ or w/out 1 slice toast. yams are good here. basically any good even healthy concotion. even whole wheat pasta with healthy sauce, soup, etc.

8. no eating after 8 except; low-fat cheese stick, 7-8 almonds, seeds (half a spoonful), or a slice or two of watermelon or another piece of fruit. (these are also night snacks for when i wake up hungry)

9. drink all the coffee you want with cream, no sugar.

10. Snacks; refer to number 8. or veggies also; avacadoes, yams, etc.

11. try to stay under 1000 calories.

12. Be good to yourself. If you mess up, start again next day, meal, minute, second, hour, etc. : )
