Well, I'm officially back. The new plan starts today.
You'll have to forgive me if I don't actually count calories for a few days. I'm a little scatterbrained and need to restock my kitchen with foods I know.
So far today, breakfast and lunch have been the same thing. Cinnamon Toast Crunch with Fat Free milk. =)
I have decided that I'm not counting liquid calories either at the moment (Ex: I will count the milk on the cereal, but not the juice I drink). I'm doing that just because it is spring cold season, and my allergies are more than enough to deal with right now without a cold. Orange Juice helps.
I started playing my guitar again yesterday. It's time that I got back to the things I love, and boy do I love that guitar. Yesterday's lesson wasn't all that great though, I've done a lot better. Hopefully it will start coming back to me. It's for sure been awhile.
I quit the biggest loser competition. I know it doesn't seem like I should, but I needed to. I looked back at all my old entries, and before the competition I was losing weight. Some weeks were small, but I was ALWAYS losing. After the competition started, I didn't lose anything. In fact I kept on a gain of about 4 lbs! BOO! People were making me stick to their work out instead of my own, and me and friends would go out eating way to much "because we're all in the same competition". So screw that! I am done with that all!
We're going back to doing this my way! So here are the rules, the same ones I was following before:
1) You must eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up, to jump start your metabolism. If Breakfast has to come later (Like if you are eating with family or such) then you must put at least 50 calories in your body within that 30 minutes (a small glass of milk would work great.)
2) Breakfast will NEVER go over 200 calories. EVER! End of story.
3) Lunch will NEVER go over 150 calories!
4) Repeat after me: "I am NOT hungry."
5) Try to avoid snacks at all costs (However sugar free gum is acceptable.) In the event of needing to snack, snacks will not exceed more than 50 calories for the day!
6) Dinner will NEVER exceed 400 calories! There are NO excuses!
7) A "cheat" is allowed, but only if it is preceded with at least 24 hours of fasting! The size of the cheat doesn't matter. (Ex: Indulging in Starbucks, eating at a party without counting, popcorn at a movie, etc.)
8) If the cheat rule is broken (e.g. friend surprises you with starbucks) then you must have as little of it as possible, and make up for it with an extra hour at the gym (Yes, that means added to whatever else was planned.)
9) Weigh ins and measurements are now moved to Wednesday mornings. Going home for the weekend is no longer and excuse to not weigh in!
10) All posts will be closed with a New Reason to be Skinny
I think that covers everything for now. If not I will be back to add more.
Also working towards rewards that are now listed on the right (or will be shortly.) There is no excuse to lose.
I still want to be competing with someone, but it would have to be someone that is like minded, because clearly The biggest loser competition just worked against me. Well, see all you later. Wish me luck!
