One thing about me is that I sometimes don't go by the book, and tend to play with the ingredients the way i want and almost every time it works out for the best ;)
They could use some sugar, but they're scones, and diet so :p
I always make snacks and I always forget to take any shot of them; probably because I'd be in such a hurry to attack them :P
f with tomatoes, basil and a bit of mozzarella), as for dinner.. I cut up 3 tomatoes topped them off with olive oil a pinch of salt and black pepper and shoved them in the oven. While they were cooking I grilled a piece of chicken; I don't really know why I decided on this recipe, I'm not such a big fan of tomatoes. Anyway, I ended up eating the chicken but leaving the tomatoes behind. I shall learn not to make that mistake again.
Yayayay! Today was different! and a lot more delicious, yumyum. I was supposed to wake up an hour earlier than usual today to prepare for my pancake breakfast but of course I got lazy. Realized that I didn't have time to prepare anything so I just had cornflakes with raisins and a tablespoon of, wait for it, wait for it... Peanut Butter!! I'm allowed 2 tablespoons but I only felt like having one.
For lunch, I got back home and made grilled chicken with balsamic sauce.. the sauce was great, and so flavorful, I enjoyed it. However, I got back to school finished class and then came back home and prepared Dinner!! PIZZA! (diet style pizza lol) Not allowed to put salsa, just tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. The crust was whole wheat which was something quite different according to me, but I can't complain, it was a great meal after-all! Don't forget the Snack!! I made the brownies recipe, yumyum! They're also diet, but they were damn good.. with chocolate chips and walnuts, and I'm allowed half a cup of low fat vanilla icecream on the side! It just felt great.
Finally I'm going to bed now with a satisfied stomach :P
I'm not going to write much about today because it's one of those boring days where there's nothing to talk about. Even the meals of today were the same as one of the 3 days before, so it doesn't really matter; same old same old, bla and bla.
Anyway, just for the sake of updating, I went grocery shopping for tomorrow's meals :D and I wont be revealing anything until tomorrow night =)
I have to admit, today was awfully depressing. The only meal I enjoyed was the cornflakes with raisins in the morning. After that I got really hungry and ate a tiny grilled chicken with mushrooms, and was still hungry. A couple of hours later, I had a smoothie, pineapple flavor. Medicine tasted much better, so I threw it out and starved to death until dinner time. Anyway, dinner tonight was the same dinner as day 1,wasn't much satisfying but it went well.
I can't wait till tomorrow is over so I can start cooking and eating like normal people. This anti-bloating stage is hell!!
I almost got a schedule set up for what meals to cook next week, it sure will be a challenge :)
Only one day has passed and I already feel light, probably because food has always been there for me :p Now it's just a lonely growling stomach.
Anyway, I had Rice Krispies and skim milk for breakfast along with 3 slices of pineapple. For lunch, I ate half a can of tuna with steamed baby carrots. For dinner however, I was invited over my cousin's place where my uncle made what seemed to be deliciously homemade Burgers; oh yes my nose can taste now.
I had to sit there and sip my water while they attack their Over-Sized Burgers, and that's not where it ends. A great night is never great without dessert! Everybody came in with a perfectly molten chocolate cake with 2 vanilla scoops on the side, and of course, I had to sit and watch. Everyone kept nagging that it's just one day, and that it wouldn't hurt to eat; that's when I realized that I have one hell of a will to go through this the right way.
After I went back home, I grilled my piece of chicken (which was only 85 grams), prepared my half cup of brown rice, along with a cup of sauté'd mushrooms and munched awaaay!
I just crunched and made a couple of sit-ups (at 2am in the middle of the night); decided to do that almost everyday. (yeah right)
The 4 day stage: The first four days are the most difficult, you have to eat exactly what they ask you to eat and you're not allowed coffee, tea, gum etc.. basically anything other than what they allow; except for water of course. Oh speaking of water, during these first four days, water that I should drink is called Sassy water which is basically water with cucumber, ginger, lemon and mint leaves; pretty much irritating. Anyway, the reason behind these 4 days is to pretty much purify the body, and I think it's working perfectly.
Ah well, today was my first day and let me say, there was a lot of hunger in the air. For breakfast I was allowed a cup of cornflakes and skim milk with half a cup of unsweetened apple sauce.. and that apple sauce wasn't pleasing. For lunch, around 7 slices of deli turkey, a slice of low fat string cheese and grape tomatoes ( I omitted the tomatoes because I'm not a huge fan).
Every Thursday in my world is a Thursday night movie ritual, and what i enjoy most about that day were the snacks, all the candy, the popcorn, and the huge ass Pepsi! Because I'm so lucky, today is Thursday and I didn't get to enjoy any of those :( Instead I made and took with me my Smoothie that was considered a snack which was tasteless with a zero % of sugar. Anyway, dinner on the other hand was a bit more satisfying, though I'm still feeling a bit hungry, shhh... I had fish about 113 grams, cooked green beans (oh yummy), and a teeny tiny weeny roasted red potato.
Well, I got through the first day, 3 more for stage 1 and 28 more for stage 2!
Well, after thorough search in several Libraries I was able to get my hands on the book Flat Belly Diet. I heard about it on Doctors and it seemed very interesting so I said to myself what the heck I'll give it a try!
For people who know it already, you know that it includes several steps before you can actually start. Consider grocery shopping for example, there's a whole list of things to get before you can actually start the diet, which according to me, is kind of exciting. Along with the original diet book i bought the Flat Belly Diet Cookbook, I honestly can't wait :D Man i love cooking, and now I get to cook without getting fat! (more like getting thinner) Yipee!!
What could be a problem for me would be the fact that I have uni every day, so I'm gonna have to manage my time and organize everything. Anyway, I've got my fingers crossed, and because I'm too excited about this, I'm gonna make it happen!
My first day shall be after tomorrow. I've only bought the book tonight, tomorrow I have to go through a whole shopping list, and the day after that I shall be ready!
Brace yourselves! (more like brace myself, because there's probably just me here :) )
