Well well... another week, tomorrow is the big weigh in day.. I am excited as last week I was disappointed with only 1 lb loss.. but 1 lb is better than gaining 1 lb... But I am really excited...
This weekend was great.... I really enjoyed the experience of food.. Long story short, I found some old emails in which I had shared my weight loss plan with an old friend from back in 1988... for those of you who knew me back then... I lost almost 80lbs... this was right before I moved to Arizona... I felt and looked great back then I must admit.. of couse 20 years later getting there is a little tougher, but I was under a medically supervised program. I was going weekly, and the first week was more of a detox...
I will share the basic plan.. for the first 3 days you are allowed to eat eggs and bacon for breakfast. ( if you eat 2 eggs = 2 pieces of bacon) lunch and dinner would consist of a salad only lettuce and tomatoes and any chicken , meat or fish.. He did recommend to stay away from the meat... in between meals you could eat all the salad you wanted..
Days 4 - 7 went like this... Breakfast 1/2 grapefruit, and 6 prunes. Lunch a salad made of lettuce only with lemon juice to add taste. and dinner was a piece of grilled chicken or fish with lettuce and lemon juice...
I recall losing 15 pounds the first week.. and then after that I was losing 2 -3 pounds a week.
The following weeks were 9 0z of protein a day ( I stuck with the grill chicken and fish) , 3 fruits, a Sweet or Baked potatoe, and a salad with lunch and dinner.. I remember that Breakfast was my challenge as I did not know what to eat as I got tired of eggs, he did allow me some high fiber cereal to change... There were some other things in there, and if you want I will share with you.. Just let me know...
I have followed the first 3 days so far and I feel great !! That is why I am really excited to step on my scale tomorrow morning... Then the last 4 days will be a challenge, but I know I can do it.. I need to clean myself internally first...
One big differnce from 1988 to today... Mom had all my meals ready, and it was so easy to come home and have my baked potatoe and grill chicken or fish ready to go when I got home from work... but have no fear, I will do it, as my goal is within reach and I feel great !!!
I will check in tomorrow ....
