i possibly may be kind of starting the paleo diet tomorrow

i usually despise diets and i’m gonna do more research on it

if it includes an “intro” phase that promises to make you drop 10 pounds, I’ll probably skip it because i have no water weight to lose right now anyway….

i think it will be good for me. i like the idea of eating unlimited quantities of food (within reason) and not counting calories and not destroying my metabolism and being able to workout without having to pass out and not taking five hour naps a day

i’ve been really unhealthy lately y’all. for the sake of dropping weight…. but that ends now

ps. i have a party to go to tomorrow but I’ll probably just eat a little bit of pasta and drink so diet coke… I have a friend eating healthy with me who’s going so it may be a bit easier. prayer has definitely been working but I know my period’s coming soon so I gotta watch out for that…. I’m eating errythang in sight!

my fam is eating an authentic italian lunch

complete with meatballs, garlic knots, white pasta, red sauce, etc….

guess what I’m having y’all? tilapia and steamed veggies

love lyfe

the good news is if I do really good for the rest of the week, I’m gonna order a personal pizza for myself on Friday night

holla holla pop ya colla

a couple of thoughts and today’s plan

I think I’m going to stop counting calories. I truly want to get healthy, which involves getting proper nutrition, not just hitting a calorie target.

I’m not gonna go nuts. Some days I will eat too much. But that’s okay. 

I also think I’m gonna throw out my scale and just go by measurements and pictures. I have to talk to my mom about it… but the scale has been a long time enemy for me and it’s getting to the point where I JUST WANT IT OUT haha….

breakfast: oatmeal and a banana

snack: clementine and some almonds

lunch: lunch out with the fam because we didn’t go yesterday. I’ll be good though!

snack: a yogurt

dinner: tilapia and steamed veggies

workout: an insanity plyo workout in the AM, bodyrock 4 minute workout in the PM

I’m tired

la plan pour de jour

(yeah my french is a little rusty…. just a little)

breakfast: oatmeal and a banana

snack: clif bar

lunch: sweet potato fries and whatever kind of protein I can scrounge up (probs gonna be chicken breast)

snack: clementine

dinner: restaurant-heyyy with the fam…. because even healthy girls gotta loosen up sometimes! esp. with my family. you never know how much time left you have w/ them! (don’t worry, I will be good)

workout: insanity pure cardio and maybe cardio abs

I’m ready to kick today’s behind! Because guess what…. it’s a holi-DAY not THE holiDAYS. Make this last week of decembre count!

pretty much what I’ve been eating every day

b: oatmeal w/ almond milk and yogurt and sometimes a clementine

s: apple

s: apple

l: soup

s: 23472943 clementines

pre-w: c4

d: sweet potato fries and a veggie burger

vegetarians do it better ;)

ps yes its enough calories. I truly eat my weight in clementines.

so basically what I’m trying to do right now

is cut off most (if not all) processed carbs and meat. I’m loosely following phase 1 of the fat smash diet. I’m having as many fruits and veggies (sweet potatoes included!!!!) as I want, 2 servings of yogurt a day, 4 egg whites a day, one serving of oatmeal a day, soup for lunch, and again as many fruits and veggies as I can stuff in my mouth. I can have protein powder as long as it’s low sugar.

today, I had 

breakfast: oatmeal

snack: 2 apples (not at the same time)

lunch: minestrone soup (did not eat the pasta in it)

snack: clementine, about to have another one

and for dinner I’ll probably have sweet potato fries and maybe some roasted corn

I did this last year and did lose about 6 pounds in a week. Before anyone gets on me, when I continued eating healthy after that, I kept the weight off. I felt clear-headed, destroyed any carb/processed sugar addiction I had, and overall just felt great. I may or may not do a short work out, depending on how much time I have today.

Went about 100 calories over today.

But that’s okay because I was about ready to devour a pizza and a carton of ice cream AND not work out.

breakfast: 1/2 a banana, morning star buffalo chik’n wings (weird… i know.. don’t judge me), 1 cup kellogg’s crunchy nut cereal - this is what your breakfast looks like when you need to go grocery shopping

snack: 100 calorie pack of almonds

lunch: gross school chicken patty and sunchips - again, this is what happens when you need to do some grocery shopping
