It's not that bad

So, this new diet really isn't that bad. It was a little challenging yesterday, and at a few points I was even thinking.... "Okay, this just won't work for a nursing Momma. I am starving, and I don't get to eat for another hour? Hello!!"

Today, I made a few adjustments and thought a little more about how to schedule my meals and it is soooo much easier.

Yesterday I had some fruit in the morning, so I had to wait 3 hours before switching to proteins. Bad news was that I could eat proteins at noon, but I had to head to the airport at 11:30.

So, I packed me some cubes of cheese and a few slices of turkey. After running friends to the airport I went to costco and had the chicken ceasar salad. It was fun to eat it, cause normally the dressing is something I would only allow myself on saturdays.

It kind of sucked to walk through Costco and not be able to eat the samples because they were carbs...but honestly if I was only allowing sweets on weekends I wouldn't be allowed to eat chocolate pudding or sesame chips anyway...right?

I didn't pack any water on yesterdays excusrion which made matters worse.

Anyway, dinner was delicious. Roasted Chicken with roasted veggies and feta cheese sprinkled over top. I made barley for Jonathon and Eden so that they wouldn't suffer from my lack of no carbos.

But, today has been quite delightful. No starving, and it's hard to believe that in 10 minutes I am allowed to eat fruit again...even though I ate a HUGE fruit smoothie this morning.

I think anytime you try to change your diet up, it's a challenge in the begining trying to find new things to eat that you enjoy. But truely this one hasn't been that hard of an adjustment. So far I give this diet a thumbs up.

Now, I just have to wait a few weeks to see if I loose or gain any weight. I am not changing anything I am doing workout wise, so I think this 3 week challenge will be a good test to see if this Somersizing actually works.

If you wanna know what i plan to eat today...here goes.

Breakfast: Fruit smoothie (apple juice, mixed berries, 4 ice cubes, 1/2 apple including skin)
20 minutes later 2 servings oatmeal with skim milk

Noon: 2 eggs, fresh salsa, feta cheese, string cheese

3:00 Half canteloupe, grapes, apple

6:00 Carbo dinner: Probably barley, steamed veggies, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and cooked zucchini (for Jonathon and Eden I'll let them eat last nights left over roasted chicken)

8:00 Kids go to bed, and I should still have enough energy from my carbo dinner to do Plyometrics.

9:00 I will be allowed to have protien again so I will make a recovery protein drink but will have to make it with water since I am not allowed milk with protein. (That rule doesn't make sense to me since there are 8g of protein in a glass of milk...but whatever. I'm just following the rules)

And then, if I want some fruit again before heading to bed...green light! ;-) Isn't that great?
