i'm committed damn it!

so the last 2 days have been really trying on me, and tomorrow will be too (but i'm committed)yesterday we went to a friend's (me with my buffalo chicken and diet soda) while everyone there had ordered in pizza.
and today wife made dinner plans to go out with some friendswe went to Red Robin'si looked through the menu, they were very accomidating
i ordered the burger salad, it came with lettuce, tomato, red pepper, sauteed onions and mushrooms, and melted swiss cheese and choice of dressing
i substituted the burger for a plain grilled chicken breast (6oz)
ordered the onions and mushrooms uncooked
substituted the swiss cheese for shredded cheddar.
and ordered the chicken, onions, mushrooms, cheese and dressing on the side
unfortunatly when i got the salad it had shredded carrots
i took about 1/4 of the salad (about 1 1/2 cups of lettuce, with a few tomatoes, a bit of carrot, tomatoe and pepper)
cut up my chicken and put it on the top
added a bit of onion and 3 slices mushrooms
and a sprinkle of cheese
i used my fork to dip into my dressing, however i ate 90% of the salad without any dressing, and it was still an explosion of taste in my mouth after a 5 days of only meat.
i must admit my friends are very supportive of me and this lifestyle change, i am also very excited that a resturaunt can be so accomodating, or i would have had to just sit there with my diet pop and water (how not fun)
tomorrow is breakfast with the mother-in-law, something i have not done in the last few months and was told i'm not allowed to avoid this one, even though i try lol, but i have it all planned out and am sticking to my guns, gonna keep it low fat, low car, and low cal
i am very proud of myself for not cheating
i hope today doesn't count as a cheat, although it did contain some shredded carrots, but i did my best to pick them out
tomorrow is another K/E day, and then i start Bootcamp on Monday.
tomorrow i am even going to try eggs, i have a sensetivity to them, but maybe with the absence of my other sensetivites (dairy, wheat, whey) maybe i will be able to hadle them, i will start off with just one, and go from there.
yay me
yay KK/KE/Bootcamp!
jen

and so starts day 4 on kimkins

wow after day 3 (start of day 4)
i'm down a total of 6.8 and FEELING GREAT
who knew weight loss could be so simple.
i have yet to have a craving and plan to keep it that way
i guess we are going out this eveing with some friends, lets see how well i can keep from temptation!
i know i will do good!
no plans to cheat here
i guess we are going to swiss chalet
i can have 1/4 chicken with no skin or wing, that would be yummyit has 225 cal, 8 fat, 0 carbs!and of course some lemon water and diet coke
i think i have decided to stick to k/e until saturday (that would make it 5 days of k/e)
then on saturday i am going to start KK for 1 week, then switch over to bootcamp.
i am really excited about this!
3 days and down 6.8 pounds! its crazy
i am averaging a loss of apporx 1.8-2.5 pounds a day!
wow, thats all i have to say, off to visit my sister, see how her KK is coming along

wow day 3 is almost over
today was great no headaches, fatigue, only had the runs (which for me is quite normal actually, but this is a little more extensive, i think its cause of the lack of fiber)
today i started off with 2 scallops (2oz) and 1 oz of bacon (if that)
snack was a pep n' cheese stick (i totally forgot to bring a snack, and it only had 1 carb)
lunch was 1.5 oz of pork
dinner was 2 oz of cajun snapper and 1 oz taco beef (1.5 carbs)
so today was a total of 4 carbs(if that)
i went shopping today to look for a lite version of french vanilla creamer, but i guess we don't have that here in canada like they do in the states

because of my work schedule, i need to eat my meals cold, so i have to eat meat cold, i have found a way to make my meals for work, so that they taste good and stay colder longer.
i cook things up, and portion them into 2 oz ziplock snack bags and freeze them.
then when i need it i take it out of my freezer and throw it into my lunch kit and its thawed (while staying cold) and ready for lunch.
i just cooked up a chicken and am going to chop it up and put it in hot sauce, cause wow i was sure suprised how good chicken in hot sauce is when its cold.
same with the taco meat, i used extra lean ground beef, only 1/2 the bag of spices for 1.5 times the meat and it yeilded 8 2oz servings at approx 1.5 carbs per serving
i am happy with my progress so far after 2 days i was down 4.2 pounds and when i got home from work i was down another 1 pound, so i can't wait until tomorrow!
yay
love this lifestyle change!

after day 2 on kimkins

wow after day 2 on kimkins i have lost a total of 4.6 pounds.
and to be honest i have no cravings for anything really
on day 1 my wife had wendy's, and nope i didn't want it, and suprized myself actually by not eating it
on day 2 my wife had garlic toast, and again, nope i didn't want it, and i LOVE garlic toast!
i have adapted the theory that if i want to be thin i MUST stick with this for a minimum of 1 year of being strict on myself, then when i hit my goal weight (unless the dr tells me to stop losing weight) i can add things i like IN MODERATION back into my eating, so that i can maintain the weight
i am very proud of myself, the first week is usually the hardest, but i am finding this awesome!

ok starting over

ok so we have decided to start over this weight loss thing
i myself am tired of being fat and therefore can not wait to lose weight!
i have decided to start a new lifestyle change, called KIMKINS (www.kimkins.com)
today was day 1.
started off at 260.4 pounds
never know where this is gonna go, but i hope it results in a weight loss.
i am tired today, and am peeing more than ever, but i gess it goes with the lifestyle change.
i plan on keeping a daily log on here, as well as updated photographes.
