Diet Diary Day 16

Diet Diary, VLCD Day 14

Two weeks today of only 500 calories.  I am surviving.  I have done well sticking to the diet, I have not cheated.  The temptations have also been minimal, so hopefully I can stick it out even if what I really want right in front of me like it will be tomorrow.  My brother and his wife are coming to dinner and mom is making cheese stuffed manicotti which I absolutely love.  

Had a movie marathon with mom today.  She is not feeling well, so we just vegged on the couch and watched Harry Potter  Year 1 – Year 6.  I loved the books and have enjoyed the movies.  After each movie was over I had to explain all the things that the movie left out before I would put the next one in.  I didn’t want her to miss out on all the little plot points that did not make the movies, like Harry & Ginny’s budding romance.

Diet Diary Day 15

Diet Diary, VLCD Day 13

Went to the Monster Truck Nationals tonight with my brother, his wife, my cousin, his girlfriend and an assortment of my brother’s other friends.  We had a good time, my only concern was that they had “mini monsters” made from like Ford Rangers and one was being driven by a SIX year old!! The social worker in me was appalled! I could not believe they would allow a 6 year old to drive a steroid injected ford ranger, Hell any vehicle for that matter!

My cousin and his girlfriend drove, they were so funny asking what kind of food I did not like because that was where they were going to stop to pick up their dinner because they felt back eating in front of me.  I assured them it was okay to eat whatever they wanted that I had my dinner with me as well.  I spent a good portion of the evening after the show just chatting and catching up with my cousin and his girlfriend.  They showed me around their new house before giving me a lift home.

The show was a bit less than what I was expecting but the jumps were cool and the truck big.  The company I was with was good, although a few of the young girls that came with were a bit annoying, reminded me of the “valley girls” from the movie Clueless … as in they were clueless.  LOL

Did a good job following the diet plan today.  No cheats, but some temptations at the show.  I made both my lunch and dinner at the same time today so I just had to grab and go when it was time for the show.  I was able to eat on the way, the same time that my cousin (driver) was eating his dinner that he had grabbed on the way.  It was a good way to decrease the desire for fast food because I did have food to eat at the same time.  So even though his food smelled delicious and made me want some too I was able to curb that with my dinner.  I had steamed broccoli from fresh and a hamburger made from 96% lean ground sirloin.  

Odd Craving of the Day: Popcorn & Dip n Dots Ice Cream (Saw/smelled them at the show)

Diet Diary Day 12

Diet Diary, VLCD Day 10

So today was my first weight in and here are the results:

Weight: 206.3 (down 12lbs)

   Measurements:

Bust: 47 7/8” (down 2 5/8”)

Waist: 44 ¼” (down 1 ¾”)

Hip: 46 7/8” (down 1 5/8”)

Neck: 15 ¼” (down ¼”)

Thigh: 25” (down 1 ½”)

Arm: 13 ¼”  (down ½”)

I was so excited when I stepped on that scale.  I could not believe it 12lbs in 9 days.  Can you imagine how good I will look if I keep this up!?!?  That was definitely the pick me up I needed to stick with this.

Diet Diary Day 9

Diet Diary, VLCD Day 7

One week so far of eating approximately only 500 calories a day.  I honestly don’t feel hungry at all which I guess is a good thing, I was afraid that I would.  I have not been taking the appetite suppressants for a while now and still I don’t feel hungry at all.  I am still fighting the urge to snack but I think that is more habit than any real desire/need for food.   My first weigh in at the clinic is this Tuesday and I really honestly don’t feel any different.  My clothing is still fitting the same, and I don’t see any changes when I look in the mirror.  It is a little disheartening to tell the truth.  I guess we will see when the times comes to step on the scale if there really are any differences.

Odd Craving of the Day: Pizza ... although for me that is not really all that strange, I LOVE pizza!
