Well it's been awhile since I've posted on here.  It mainly because I've been off eating cookies.  Not really the diet has been going quite well actually.  Saturday was excellent ate some delicious lemon swordfish steaks and balsamic vinegar spinach salad.  Then Sunday cheated a little on the super bowl since I couldn't drink.  Had Hamburgers stuffed with blue cheese which my roommate made and were absolutely fantastic.  Monday and tuesday were eating a lot of strawberries since the store was running a 3/$5 deal on 1lbs of them.  Was cooking some shrimp and bringing it to work with me which works out quite well when I have to eat at my desk. 

The cravings for donuts haven't subsided, probably because I'm craving carbs, but they aren't unbearable.  I haven't been hungry at all this week and actually need to drink more water.  Didn't get a chance to weigh myself or get measured because Anna locked herself out of sculpt when I showed up. So I will have to wait for the weekend for that.  Otherwise everything is going well, not hungry, eating great food, feeling good, working out. 

Well I did some cheating in the last couple days.  Anna showed me this light rye cracker that has 20 calories and like 4g of cards.  You did it in cottage cheese and it's actually quite delicious.  So had that snack and some cheese the last two days after having crazy craving for donuts for some reason.  Don't know why almost never eat donuts, maybe it's because I live next door to a dunkin donuts.  Everything else has been going well been sleeping better and started a light workout program.  Don't have a lot of energy in the morning but definitely keep my energy better during the day and nights.  Today has some swordfish and a spinach salad with balsamic vinaigrette.  Getting kind of sick of apples and strawberries though.  Wish there were more options for snacks.  Otherwise everything has been going good.  Weighed myself today and was at 207 so getting closer to my weight goal. 

It's actually gotten to the point where I'm just not hungry anymore.  Which is great!  Monday I did cheat a little with some cottage cheese mostly because I didn't feel good and didn't really want to cook but I did weigh myself.  I started at 218 and on monday morning weighed in at 209.5lbs.  So lost 9lbs in a week which is pretty impressive.  Tuesday was very easy no cheating and followed the diet to the letter.  Didn't feel hungy or the need to cheat at all.  So I am hoping that my body is actually getting used to not being a glutton and eating any time I'm slightly bored.  The insomnia thing has continued though the last three or four nights haven't been able to get to bed till around 4am.  I still haven't started walking or working out but plan on starting a 10 minute workout program before work to burn off some energy. 

Ok so this weekend was interesting.  My friends ended up going out to buffalo wild wings on friday night and I went with them.  That was decently difficult not to take all the free onion rings and wings offered but just had to say no.  So it's a test of willpower if you go out early make sure that you can say no to just one onion ring/wing/bite/whatever.
Saturday was actually pretty tough work was slow so I had lots of down time to contemplate eating as well as friends asking if I wanted to go for lunch.  Had some sage, rosemary, garlic, onion chicken and it was quite delicous.  It kind of sucks that I have to cook everything before I get to work and either eat it cold or microwave it but food hasn't been to bad at all.   Once I got off work it actually got better.  Met up with some friends, no food involved, had a good time drank some water went  home. 

While doing this I've actually found it incredibly difficult to go to sleep.  I'm not sure if it's because I'm hungry  when I'm trying to sleep or if I'm just full of a lot more energy and I'm not burning it off properly by not working out or walking enough.  I'll see how it goes and start walking more and probably get back into doing some yoga/light work outs. 

Well the second day was a little more difficult even though I was able to eat some protein today.  Just felt hungry after about 8pm, just had my last snack an apple at 9pm.  Going out tonight lets see how not eating and not drinking goes.  Had some delicious chicken for lunch and dinner today, lemon ginger chicken, didn't even over cook it.  Very basic and simple to do took about 20 minutes to bake.  Well looking forward to weighing myself tomorrow and seeing how this is effecting me. 

Alright so the first day of the actual diet.  It started off pretty crappy, bought some frozen chicken to cook and didn't thaw it and it didn't cook in time for me to take it to work.  Was able to bring a coulple apples, bag of celery, and some strawberries to subsist on. It actually wasn't to bad until my cubemates brought in some fried chicken wings.  That was definitely hard to resist their offers of " would you like some" but I did and ate an apple.  I'm actually a little worried for day 3 I figured day one is easy because you haven't changed enough, day two you are still living off the loading, day three is going to get you though.  I have that feeling.  So far it's been pretty easy and I haven't even had a meal today. So it's looking good...

So second day went pretty well, still able to eat what I want.  Went to pockets for lunch/breakfast which is my favorite place to eat.  Definitely check out pockets if you actually have one near you.  It sucks since they closed a lot of the locations out in the suburbs.  Then had a Italian cal-zone with ranch for dinner.  I'm realizing I don't actually eat very much and I overeat when I do, probably not healthy.

 Went shopping for food.  Got some frozen talapia filets that cook well in the toaster over, a bag of spinish, some organes, a thing of strawberries.  Will see how this goes tomorrow and see what I want to pick up for food the next day. 


We shall see...
