day 8

The diet is becoming less of a challenge now. I still haven't seen the results on the scale. I went to my night class where they had pizza and the smell was glorious, but I resisted temptation. I'm going into surgery to have my colon taken out over Christmas break and I need to get this weight off before then. Emotions however I am noticing play havoc on what your body wants to eat. All of my friends are engaged now. It was supposed to be me. I was supposed to be the one planning my wedding. And yet its not. Sorry I digress. Anyways. I went to McDonalds to get a salad and got the fruit and nut salad. Kinda not on my diet because its all fruit which I didn't expect, but I think it will still be ok. I did pilates yesterday as well as an abs workout and I might do it again tonight. I probably need to. Well I'm getting off here now...

one week

Ok so it has been one week since I started this diet. I know I said I would try to write every day, but I have had a lot to do. Anyway. This diet is hard. I am exercising more now than I have ever in my life. I am doing pilates and an 8 minute abs workout every other night. Then a weight video that my boyfriends mother taught me how to do... and walking on a treadmill and stairstepper and biking when I get a chance. And my total weight loss so far is... nothing. I know I'm building muscles and all that but still. Im not gaining  (yay) or losing. I drink 5 shakes a day and eat one bar. I eat a salad at night with only a tiny bit of dressing.... I cheated the other day and ate at Arbys... Bad no no. But I've stuck to it since then. It isn't as hard as I thought it would be after the first few days. The exercise however... Oy! I don't know if anyone is even reading this or doing the same diet with me but this blog helps me to stay on track. I'm trying not to get discouraged but the scales aren't exactly showing progress. Anyway.. if anyone is reading this... Thanks! and I'll write more later

day 1 and 2

I have just recently started the Nutrimed diet and I'm having a rough time with it... This is my second attempt. The first time I did great and lost over 20 pounds in a few weeks. Well, little fact about me, I have ulcerative Colitis and the slightest stress flares it. The doctors way of fixing it... Steroids. Talk about a pain. I've been on them since I was 6 and its the main cause of my weight gain. All the weight I lost I put back on. Well this is a small part of my life. So today is day 2 of trying again. I only have 5 weeks before I have surgery and need to get 70 pounds off. Its unrealistic but maybe I can get most of it off. Its rough Im not going to lie. I have had 4 shakes and its 7:00. I'm very hungry, but I'm pretty sure its a mind thing. I've also started drinking teas. A lot of teas have healing or weight loss properties. Drinking these shakes while going to class in college is hard. But I will do it. Its easy if I can stay away from people who eat lol. Hopefully this blog will keep me on track... and others who may follow it. Till later...
