I feel like even my bf is like cmon just do it already, all u do is talk about it. I just need to eat the same thing every day.. make a routine of it.. I cant afford to have much variety of food in my life to begin with bc its time consuming. I can make do with a routined meals everyday.. Kicks off tommorow xo
Meal plan one :
Breakfast:
green juice -- made of spinach, kale, carrots, celery, apples, etc etc...
Snack- Baby carrots w/ranch
Lunch- Grilled chicken breast w/ salad & 1 boiled egg
Snack- Blueberries/raspberries/ ANY low glycemic fruit
Dinner- Grilled chicken breast w/ veggies.. steamed or just a salad.
Ok guys I had this really long post bout juicing and all that and some how i pressed the back button n it all got erased. Ill retype it tommorow, but today just wanted to say Im back! been sick past couple days so here we go again
Lunch- Panko breaded tilapia, 1/2 cup sweet potatoes (i think a little less but w/e) , 1 small grilled chicken breast
Dinner- small piece of catfish (YUUUUCK) and 1 cup of sauteed mixed vegetables, sauteed in 1 tbsp of butter btw.
Snacks - 1 medium iced coffee from mcD, 10 dark choc covered ACAI berries, more strawberries+kiwis, some baby carrots with ranch, english tea, honeybush apricot tea..
Great job with losing 15 lbs! Also you have great food plans too!
I power walk as well and I'm impressed that you are going 4.3 - 4.5 mph! However, would you consider going a tad bit slower so that you can walk longer? That way you can burn stored fat which I believe kicks in after 30 minutes of steady cardio.
Either that or do short burst of really fast walking for 2 minutes and go back to regular walking? Or maybe do a combination of all three on different days to shock the muscles?
I'm also trying to add more calories to my day, but I found eating a small handful of unsalted nuts like cashews or almonds are are great. They have a lot of calories and have good fats, fiber and protein too.
Hi, You've got me curious with the semipost about juicing. I did a 3 day juice fast, now am trying a modified juice fast, I have a green smoothie (unsweetened almond milk, kale, spinach, banana, homemade peanut butter) for breakfast and low sodium V8 and some fruit for lunch, then healthy dinner (tilapia and veg one night, chicken sausage with onions, garlic, peppers and beans tonight).
Mainly I'm curious if the modified fast results in about the same weight loss, I'm doing them back to back. Before we did the juice fast we had a kind of big meal, so the weight loss of the juice fast was bigger than the week to week weight loss, hope that makes sense, but I think we lost what we gained (DH and I) with the big meal and then about 3 for the week.
I'm addicted to the green smoothie, I'm going to continue with that for bfast I think, I'm adding wheat germ, I remember my mom used to make us sprinkle that on cereal sometimes...lol
Anyway, what a ramble, that must be the grape juice (lol) I had with dinner tonight!
thanks for listening
oh and by the way (should have said this first!) great job!! and continued success!!
To be honest kelijpa , I dont think that the modified green juice fast makes you lose weight faster, if anything it def slows down the weight loss process in contrast to the ONLY juice fast.. but I think when eating one solid meal is a much more sustainable way to do it. Im going to do it for ten days.. lets see how it goes.
Talking bout green smoothies though.. I did make one for myself today, which consisted of: spinach, 2 kiwis, 1 tsp flaxseed, splash of banana and orange juice, some nonfat yogurt, some water to thin it out.
Lunch- 1 piece of ezekiel bread, egg salad, side salad
Dinner- salad from whole foods: romaine, 1 egg, carrots, corn, feta cheese, quinoa, balsamic vinaigrette, a little bit of caesar.
Quick update before I start my day.. at 184.6 today two pound drop although it is day 8.. but im happy with it considering the amount of sugar I consumed. Ill be back for a complete update!
The juice fast def. jumpstarted the weight loss, I will do it again, the breakfast smoothie gives me more energy, I think it's giving me an iron boost I wasn't getting in my reg. diet.
I like to make a pretty big salad sometimes, I put separately in the ninja a whole carrot, a stalk of celery, a cucumber, and pulse just enough to chop them up some, put that over lettuce with some tomato, if you like, I found wishbone light buffalo ranch dressing, I like, it takes me a long time to eat sometimes, alot of crunching, but much easier to eat than gnawing on a whole carrot.
Anyhow, hope you're getting past the sugar thing, and your smoothie looks great.
3fatchicks, you are my rock. :)
Will post pics along the way..
