...it's looking good!

..yes, yes, yes! My diet is looking good.. I'm back on a "losing streak", which is awesome! I have lost 1 pound this week, which is great considering I haven't really made a HUGE effort...or none at all to be honest!
I'm sort of giving myself a break since July is a crazy birthday month for us, which translates into a lot cake, sweets and other unhealthy (hence yummy) stuff.. oh well.. it happens!
I have officially abandoned my EXTREME diet and will now go on Weight Watchers once this month is over...
My goal is to be at 160 by the end of August, which will leave another 30 lbs to be lost by the end of the year.. totally doable! ;)
Wish me luck!

Back on the "green" path...

Ok.. I have done it! I'm back on the "green" path.. that's what I called my vegetable eating frenzy... I know it works so I'm going to do it..
My goal is to lose 3 to 5 lbs by next Sunday, when we will be celebrating the girls' birthday party.. I really hope I can do this...it sounds super extreme, but I know from experience that is is doable..

Losing over 2.5 lbs per week is classified as "extreme weight loss", it usually happens when the body is shocked by drastically changing the food intake (by amount and kind)... I have cut back on carbs (again!) and will do protein ONLY during the next week! Wish me luck!

Also, for people who wish to diet and do something "extreme", my advice is DO NOT STARVE yourself... go to a vitamin shop and look into natural fillers or natural pills to suppress your appetite.. feeling hungry IS NOT ideal nor healthy so it's a good idea to "cheat" the body with natural supplements!

Good luck and Happy Dieting everyone!

Diet failure

Ok! The last week or so has been super challenging in my diet world! I feel like such a failure for not sticking to my food routine....
Granted, July is a busy birthday month for us, so there's always cake, sweets and some other yummy (and fattening)food... so, I have sinned.. I have failed in sticking to my diet.. oh well! It happens!
I have gained 1 or 2 lbs and it makes me so mad! I know I need to get back on the wagon and follow my dreams of a skinnier me!
I just wanted to post about my failures, because people who diet need to understand that this is NOT easy at all.. it is an UPHILL battle... it is a PAIN IN THE BUTT! oh well.. you get the picture!

Happy dieting everyone!

It has been a month!

It has a been a month (and 2 days) since I started my (in)famous diet!
There have been ups and downs (more downs lately).. and the process only gets harder...
It is such a grueling journey, and so boring!!
I have to admit I have NOT followed my diet as the doctor suggested initially.. I have, however, been counting calories... and I have been able to remain between 1000-15000 calories a day...
Still no rice, grains or carbs.. (although I did have a hamburger yesterday, lol)...
I have lost about 14 lbs, which puts me closer to my goal..
I'm hanging in there.. I need to get back on the "strict" wagon though!
