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!

8:00 am
    Mushroom and cheese omelette
    Corned tuna
    1 cup Nescafe sugarfree coffee


1:30 pm
   Shrimp Scampi
   Greek Cucumber Salad
 

4:00pm - 6:00pm
   290g Cashew nuts
   Coke Zero


8:00 pm
   Chicken Fajitas
   Vegetarian Chili
    Chickendogs and dip
   Buco Pandan

Look disgusting but tasted really good 

Highlights:
The shrimp scampi is pretty good as well as the vegetarian chili (the pork and beans thingy above). I hate the cucumber salad, again it tasted suspiciously like wiwi. I got some tips from a work friend who also did South Beach on where to buy good sugarfree chocolates.

Exercise:


I was able to walk around the entire third floor in one go, so there's that.

8:30am
     Grilled bangus with scrambled egg
     1 cup Nescafe sugarfree coffee


1:00pm
     Chicken Burger
     Salad with creamy sesame dressing
     Vanilla Pudding

3:30pm
       Tuna Salad


6:00pm
     2 pcs chicken empanada
     1/2 cup Coke Zero


9:00pm
    Vegetable Crudite with hummus
    Korean Beef Stew

Highlights:

I liked the dinner entrees, although I switched the cucumber salad with the vegetable with hummus. I liked the hummus but the celery sticks tasted (and smelled) like wiwi.

I cheated though and had my first bite of tinapay after 7 days! I can't resist the chicken empanada my brother brought home.

Exercise:

Walked around for about 30 minutes on our rooftop deck while my nephew ran around like crazy. I'm feeling a bit of strain in my balakang, though so I need to take it easy for a bit, especially given the walkathon yesterday at the mall. I hope I can do more high impact exercises so I can sweat out the pounds. Kebs na, wala naman akong deadline.

January 28, 2011

8:00am
     Lunchmeat Omelette
     Cauliflower and Chikpeas Curry (half a serving)
     1 cup Nescafe Sugarfree Coffee


12:00pm
     Chicken Satay with Peanut sauce
     Tuna Salad
     Coffee Custard


5:00pm
    Seafood Salad @ UCC
    Black Coffee with 2 Splenda

South Beach approved (almost). Ignore the breaded goodies

9:00pm (Bday party)
   1/2 glass Iced tea
    3 small sticks pork barbeque (no fat)
    A bite of creamy fish somenthing :-(


Highlight: 

I love chicken satay, it can do no wrong. However, I did have my first cheat food, the UCC Seafood Salad. Although it's still technically greens, the breaded scallops are sooo sinful, I can't resist. Also, I'm better off staying at home or at the office as there are very few temptations. No more eating out or parties until I end my 3 weeks.

Exercise:

Went malling using just one crutch. At the Mall of Asia. Boom!

Sixth day with no rice, no bread, no pasta, no sugar. I don't know why I'm still alive (and energetic!). 

January 27,2011

9:00 am
    Hardboiled egg and Canadian Bacon
    3 small pcs tuna loaf
    1 cup Nescafe sugarfree coffee


1:00pm
    Stirfry Chicken with Basil
    Salad with Green Goddess Dressing
    1 glass Coke Zero
 
4:00pm
   Chocolate Mousse
   Peanuts


8:00pm
   Tausi Fish Fillet
   Sauteed Kangkong
   String cheese

11:00pm
   2/3 pack cashew nuts
 
Highlights:

The salad with green goddess(!) dressing is pretty good, which is surprising because I don't like vegetables. I'm starting to enjoy lettuce and dressing and will probably continue to enjoy this food item even after the diet. When I look at the menu, it seems I'm eating A LOT but the trick is small (kawawa-sized) portions and eating more often so I don't give in to cravings. I also like the fact the main courses are not dry and are often very sauce-y so except for the lack of rice, I don't feel like I'm dieting at all

Daya moment: Although it seems like I'm enjoying desserts (mousse, custard), these are all, in fact, JELLO. Flavor-infused gelatin. Which is not bad at all, but dammit, now I'm thinking of actual chocolate mousse.

Also, beware. String cheese is vile. Pure evil. But it takes care of my oral fixation.






 

January 26, 2012

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

11:00 am
     Almond Gelato
     1 cup Coke Zero


4:00pm - 5:00pm
    Broccoli
    Cashew nuts

I never eat greens but I super liked this salad

8:00 pm
    Green Salad with remoullade dressing
    Stir fried beef (I was supposed to eat this for lunch but I was full na)
    Cajun chicken ( didn't get to finish this, tomorrow na lang for brekkie)

I was supposed to eat the beef with the broccoli pala.
Oh well.

Highlights:

I liked everything today except for the almond gelato. It felt like what joylessness must have tasted like. As I write this, I still have gelatin chilling in the fridge but I'm already drinking warm milk (1%, baby!) so tomorrow na lang.

Exercise:


I was in the office the whole day and only made one trip to the pantry during my lunch break. Well, I climbed two flights of stairs and if you were in my condition, that's equivalent to a 30min stairmaster session. Will try to lift arm weights before I sleep :-)

12:00nn
      Vegetable Omelette
       Yakiniku beef
      1 cup Nescafe sugarfree coffee

4:00pm
      Kani Salad
      Choco Fudge

4:30pm
     Cashew nuts

It looks like hospital food but it's pretty tasty actually

 8:00 pm
      Egg drop soup
      Chicken with cashew nuts and sauteed greenbeans
   
Dessert:
     Dutche sugarfree chocolates

Highlight:  

The yakiniku beef is tender and tasty although it screams to be paired with rice. The choco fudge was pretty okay, I just wish I have a bigger serving. I also liked the Kani salad, which is basically fake crabmeat, because I like crabmeat in general. I bought the chocolates in the mall and they are HORRIBLE. It tastes like molten cardboard and it sticks to the roof of my mouth. I still have 3 more packs laid away so god help me.

Exercise:

PT day today so pretty intense. I used to eat right before PT so I'll have energy but surprisingly, I didn't have to today. I didn't feel weak, as a matter of fact I felt satiated throughout the day.

Starting weight:

78 kilos/171 pounds - the heaviest I've ever been :-(
I forgot to do a weigh-in before I started the diet. Oh well.
