Breakfast:
1 sunny side up egg
1 cup Vietnamese coffee

Midmorning pick-me-up:
Tall Starbucks hot mocha (nonfat milk)

Lunch:
3 pieces smoked fish wrap from Sugarleaf
1 glass "Relax" juice from Sugarleaf (pure apple, pineapple, beetroot and mint juice) - I do not recommend. Lasang lupa at lasang tangkay. Blech.

Dinner:
Remainder of smoked fish wrap from lunch (3 pcs)
Grilled fish
1 glass Carbtrim

I munch on sugarfree gum the whole day to address my oral fixation. It works, but it makes me gassy.
In fairness, since I started shunning rice and bread, I get full more easily from veggies. I am yet to quit to fully quit carbs as I eat whole wheat pita bread. Maybe this week :-)

Day 1 of Attempt number 2

Breakfast:
1 cup Vietnamese coffee
1 slice wheat bread
1 sunny side up egg

Lunch:
3pcs grilled dory fish
Vegetables and broth from  nilagang baboy
1 glass Carbtrim

Merienda:
1 glass Swiss Miss fatfree hot choco

Dinner:
Grilled chicken
Broccoli
1 glass Carbtrim

Failure

Yeah, i failed the first time. I gained back more than I lost when I went on South Beach. This is attempt number 2: baby steps. I quit pork, beef and rice the past two weeks. I.m still trying to quit carbs and sweet drinks. I've only had Starbucks twice the last week and all drinks were either water, Carbtrim or sugarfree coffee. Well, except for the 3-4 times I can't resist coke. I wish it was real cocaine I can't resist, but no, this doggone carbonated drinks will be the death of me. And I really miss tinapay.

Wish me luck.

9:00am
  Malunggay and Bacon fritata
  Rosemary Lemon Chicken skewers (from yesterday's "lunch")
  Tomato soup
  1 cup Nescafe sugarfree coffee

2:00pm
Sizzling shrimp
Salad with creamy sesame dressing
Almond Gelato

 

8:00 pm
   Chicken Adobo and monggo soup
   Tuna salad

Highlights:

I can eat the malunggay and bacon fritata everyday. And the sizzling shrimp is again restaurant quality. I used to feel that the portions are kawawa but I'm starting to get full easily so the portions now feels just enough.

Daya moment: I still have aftershocks of yesterday's transgressions and I kept on munching on the belgian butter flavored popcorn I bought from the mall throughout the day. I don't know if it's guilt or my system rejecting the carbs, but I had gas pains the whole day :-(

DIET FAILED
BONGGANG BONGGA  

I don't wanna talk about it 

February 1, 2011

8:00am
   Vegetable Omelette
   Corned tuna
   1 cup Nescafe sugarfree coffee


1:00pm
  Shawarma and salad with shawarma sauce
  Chocolate Mousse (na jello sa totoong buhay)

Chicken shawarma w/o the pita

8:00pm (Aye and George visited me at home and I fed them spaghetti)
    Garlic Squid
    Mixed Vegetables c/o George
    String cheese

Mixed Veggies ala George

The squid is really tender and tasty
George ended up eating this side of veggies

Midnight snack:

   3 pieces sugarfree chocolate 

Highlights:

Loved the shawarma and the squid. When George and I were still roomies, I used to scoff and gag at her veggie medleys. So when she brought this dish over, I was surprised that I liked it. Not because she's not a good cook but because I actually like eating vegetables now. Thank you SexyChef! You did what my mother and numerous roomies failed to accomplish. 

Exercise:

Therapy day. We are doing a new program that targets my endurance and defensive walking skills (yes, there is a term). I had to do several obstacle courses to prepare me once I let go of my assistive devices for good. My therapist asked me to buy a home bike system so ngi for future sessions.


Weigh-off:
167 pounds - 4 pounds less than my last weigh-in. More!

8:30am
   Hardboiled egg and corned tuna
   Kani salad
   1 cup Nescafe sugarfree coffee


11:00am
   1 pack Grower's cashew nuts

2:30pm
   Chicken Teriyaki
   Misono vegetables
   Ube pudding


9:00pm
   Meditteranean Fish
   Salad with balsamic dressing
   Happy cow cream cheese
  Coke Light

Love this! Best dinner combo so far

Highlights:

Love the balsamic dressing on the salad. The fish is also very tender and flavorful. I gave in and went back to Coke Light, though. I figured soda can't be very good anyway so go big or go home. I think I need a little bit of sugar high because I felt lightheaded and really hungry earlier in the day. I can hear my stomach rumbling during the meeting, mitigated by the fact that everyone is eating pasta, rice and fried chicken. The humanity!

Exercise: 

I did two roundtrips  from my station to the pantry to the Pagudpud training room and back. I was practically sweating by the time I reach my seat. Plus I'm doing arm weights now. 

And for the best part of the day: 

This is love right here, folks

My brother bought me these, probably because I complained that the chocolates I previously bought tasted like rat's ass. This is my reward for staying with the diet and because it's the 6th monthsary since my accident . I sampled the pecan caramel one and I can't taste the (lack of) sugar, so yay!
