1200-1500

Hi,

It's the first week I've been hungry, like belly growling hungry. It's sad to say that I honestly haven't felt my stomach growl for years! I think that's a good sign though (it's telling me now when I need food, instead of me just shoving food down my belly!) 

A lot of people were asking me about my diet.
Here it is: 

I'm eating 1200-1500 calories a day (even the days I do a cardio work out) Low Carb, Low Dairy, very little red meat, no white potatoes. (Just to clarify: NOT No Carb, No Dairy- because that is not maintainable for me in the long run & I'm in this for the long haul) I have one cheat meal a week where i'm allowed to eat what ever I want! (This week it's going to be poutine!) I joked to my friend last night that I was a raw vegan that eats lots of chicken! I eat a ton of vegetables, a ton of chicken and a little bit of fruit. I don't eat past 7pm, and I drink more water then I ever have in my life. I pee about every hour!! (no joke) 

Just a reminder of my incentives, and what I've completed so far! As of last Monday (June 15 I had lost 12lbs!) My secret goal is to lose 15lbs by the end of June! So hopefully I can cross off new lulu lemon pants soon. 

Here is my incentive list: 
5lbs: New Sneakers
10lbs: Fun Work out top 
15lbs:  LuLu Lemon Pants
20lbs: Hair done, somewhere expensive (Color and everything - maybe bowtique? I'll take suggestions) 
25lbs: Food Processor
30lbs: Jeans
35lbs: All new Bras/Underwear
40lbs: Tattoo
45lbs: Bathing Suit
50lbs: Trip to Mexico
ANY MORE WEIGHT is just a LIFE BONUS!

Food for thought, did you know 1000 jumping jacks burns 3500 calories, which equals 1lbs! Will be testing this theory next week!

Hello Cheeseburger Lovers,

I hope you had a wonderful week end! I'm proud to say, I took my daughter swimming this week end. YES, in a bathing suit! (I was still a nervous wreck - But I did it!) She was so excited, that mommy was taking her swimming (normally daddy does!) Now imagine, I would have missed out on her last swimming class of her first badge!! I was so happy!  I have a long journey ahead of me, but even loosing this little bit of weight helped me to do something I wouldn't have done before!

I'm happy to announce my loss for this week was -2.4lbs! For a grande total loss of, -12lbs in three weeks! Not too shabby! My inches are also doing well, I've loss another inch off my waist and an inch off my hips!

A big shout out to Mr. Reg Duffy, for running those extra laps at Friday's workout! You motivated me to get through it and I did!! Even though I couldn't move on Saturday haha! I'll see you this Friday - Not intimated, motivated! Friday was so insane! Not only did we run the track but we carried crazy heavy weights, squats, push ups and army crawled under benches! It was NUTS!! (the most sore I have been after a work out so far) My muscles were just shaking! (I kind of loved it!)

I made the most delicious Quinoa Salad on the week end, (I know your thinking that's an oxy moron having quinoa and delicious in the same sentence - three weeks ago I would have agreed with you!)

Here's the recipe:

1 cup dry quinoa
2 cups chicken broth
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1/2 orange bell pepper
a few chopped grape tomato
1/2 cup of red onion
1 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1 large lime
pepper
garlic powder (to taste)
chili powder (to taste)
