"Dieting"

Just a fun picture to share when we did the Teal Wheels bike ride!

So I guess it's time that I tell you all what I've been doing with my time, since we all know that weight watchers was not working for me.  (I'm not saying it's bad or anything, because it works well for a lot of people, it just isn't right for me)  Here's the scoop so I was on weight watchers for almost 7 weeks, so about two months and I'm gonna be honest with you I lost a total of 6 lbs in those 7 weeks, some might say YAY at least you lost, but for me it's like a slap in the face.... I have over a hundred points to lose and damn is it hard, but I have changed everything that I eat, literally, and still all I have to show for that is 6lbs.... well I'm struggle is coming to an end because I have found something else that I'm really enjoying!

I hate the word 'diet' as I've mentioned in posts before, but this after telling you the name will say whatever that is lame and it's temporary because it has the word diet in it, but I have read the facts and this came from a doctor and all of it makes sense and brings you to understand and live a healthier lifestyle.  So here it is, it's called the 17 Day Diet.  (told you, you would think it was a joke)

Let me give you a few of the general facts about this lifestyle (I'm gonna call it a lifestyle so that we can all relate).  First of it consists of four 17 day cycles, in the first cycle which I am on, you eat basically lean proteins, vegetables, select few fruits, and dairy products.  So for the first 17 days they give you a list of all the foods that will help boast your metabolism in order to keep it burning all that extra fat that my body has been storing.  This cycle is actually really awesome cause it's reminded me what willpower is (I haven't had much willpower in the last year).  I will just tell you that I have been on this today will be day 4 and I have lost over 5lbs already, and I've broke a weight barrier that I've been trying to accomplish for the last 2 months! YAY!
The BF is not to excited about this lifestyle I'm taking on because it means he doesn't get to eat very much, cause obviously I only buy things will protein and veggies basically! Don't get me wrong though he is just as happy as I am to see the numbers on the scale move so rapidly.

According to the doctor who wrote this book about this new lifestyle, it isn't considered bad to lose 10-20lbs in the first cycle, people always think it's really bad to lose really fast but for me it's perfect because if I don't see results fast enough I get burned out and think my efforts are for nothing!

So there you have it, that is what I've been doing lately, I have been planning my meals in order to not be starved when I get home or when I need a snack I plan ahead! :) It's actually nice to feel organized when it comes to what I eat, I haven't felt hungry much, even though I don't eat a whole lot, but I'm starting to not revolve around food or what I'm going to eat next, it doesn't constantly consume my life, so I feel like I can actually enjoy life without worrying about food! (seems silly but you've seen in my previous posts that food pretty much ran my life--not anymore!I'm taking a stand!)
