My guts feel cramped (like when I was pregnant) and I'm not feeling well. I feel super full on little food but I eat ANYway. It's time to get back in control!
Here's my "jump-start" plan:
Fri: water; coffee, apple juice, toast
water; coffee and toast
water; 2 oz meat, green beans, carrots
water; apple slices with cinnamon on vanilla ice cream
(the ice cream part sounds bizarre but it helps)
Sat: water; coffee, egg, 1/2 banana, toast
water; iced tea, 1 oz cheese, 2 crackers
water; 2 oz meat, broccoli, carrots
water; 1/2 banana with cinnamon on vanilla ice cream
Sun: water; coffee, 1 oz cheese, 2 crackers, apple slices
water; iced tea, boiled egg, toast
water; 2 oz meat, carrots, green beans
water; cantaloupe, vanilla ice cream
(I'll be making a soup on sunday to eat the rest of the week.)
Mon: For at least the next 4 days I will not have any coffee, tea, alcohol or pop; No margarine, fried foods or processed veg oils except flax seed oil. And no white rice, sugar or flour.
hot lemon water; poached egg with spinach, scallions and parsley
water; nectarine
water; soup
water; half apple
water; soup
water; half apple, 2 crackers
Tue: hot lemon water; egg, spinach, scallions and parsley
water; 1 c berries
water; soup
water; 1/2 apple
water; soup
water; crackers and half apple
Wed: hot lemon water; blueberry smoothie, boiled egg
water; soup

water; crackers and half apple
Thu: hot lemon water; egg, spinach, scallions, parsley
water; brown rice with veggies (any I have left)
water; 1/2 banana

water; 1/2 banana
I realize this looks extreme but it's only for one week and it has protein and veggies and fruits. My hope is to get my guts less cramped, have less tendency towards heartburn, and get my body ready to eat right. I don't drink water so I'm making that a prime focus. Actually, I don't eat fruits very often either! My name is Sis and I am addicted to diet Pepsi so I'll be replacing that with water.
Exercise:
Fri - 1 minute of fast knees up to my chest marching
40 seconds of squats
15 minute walk on the treadmill
Sat - 1 minute of virtual jump roping
40 seconds of lunges
15 minute walk on the treadmill
Sun - 1 minute of running up and down the stairs
40 seconds of pushups
15 min walk on the treadmill
Mon - repeat friday
Tue - repeat saturday
Wed - repeat sunday
Thu - either repeat friday's or decide on something new.
I'm kind of holding my breath on this since I've had SUCH a difficult time making myself stay on track.
Dh is going out of town this weekend and, while I'm supposed to go with him, I'm going to beg off so I can stay out of the way of all the food that would be thrown at me and I can exercise. I've GOT to do this and I've got to start now.... tomorrow. Vegan isn't helping me. I feel worse than before. (I'm not blaming the vegan but probably the Pepsi, the lack of water?, the lack of exercise.... and the amount of food.) I'll add flax seed oil in the veggies or toast if I feel the need. The soup includes onion, bell pepper, zucchini, mushroom, garlic, reduced sodium V8, beans, crushed tomatoes, cilantro and parsley.
I'm leaning toward the Fat Flush again once I'm thru with this week. I'm checking into the vegetarian Fat Flush and the vegan Fat Flush for a bit later.
Weigh in and measuring tomorrow morning!
Makes me kinda sad.
