I weighed in at 344.3 lbs. this morning (see photo to the left). This means that I’m actually down 0.4 lbs. since yesterday, and this means I’m up 0.9 lbs. since I started this diet. Definitely not going in the right direction!
Here’s how I did today!
Rule #1: I can only eat for 8 hours a day maximum. This means that I will be fasting for a minimum of 16 hours each day.
I started eating around 12:30 pm this afternoon and finished eating at 7:30 pm, so roughly about 7.5 hours of eating today!
To start off my day of eating I had some “Hickory Sticks” (see photo to the right). Before this box that I picked up at Aldi, I haven’t had them since I was a kid. Addictive little things!
For my main lunch meal today I had some “Lasagna” (see photo to the left). I also included four slices of Aldi low-cal bread with some peanut butter spread. Quite a delish combo I must say!
To wash all this down I had a “Diet Coke” (see photo to the right). I don’t have any regular Coke on had, so this will have to do… 🙂
For my lunchtime dessert I had one of the donuts I made the other day and some chocolates that I picked up at Aldi (see photo to the left).
I haven’t been eating the best since I started this diet, so I thought I would have a BIG salad to start off my evening meal (see photo to the right).
My daughter wanted some McDonald’s this evening, so I picked up something while I was there as well. I usually get the “Big Mac” meal, but tonight I had a “Fish Fillet” (see photo to the left).
To finish off my day of eating I had a couple of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chilled and lovely right out of the freezer (see photo to the right).
Rule #2: During the 16 hours I am fasting I am allowed zero calorie beverages like tea and coffee with some creamer. I am also allowed zero calorie sodas and water of course.
I had a couple of cups of coffee with sugar-free vanilla creamer this morning and another one before I went to bed this evening.
Rule #3: Each day I will have my daily vitamins.
Daily vitamins today? Check!
Rule #4: I will drink at least 3 cups of water each day.
Yes, I drank 3+ cups of water throughout the day today.
Rule #5: I will exercise for 30 minutes each day, alternating between: cardio, weights, and abs workouts.
This evening I had a nice 30 minute cardio session on my rowing machine while I watched the evening news. Nothing too elaborate…just getting into a daily workout routine at the moment.
