Here I am day 2 of the diet. I am not hungry and am barely eating, but I think it has nothing to do with the diet. I think it other things.

Yesterday I ate
strawberry banana smooth with skim milk and low fat vanilla bean ice cream

At lunch time,
I drank bloody Mary mix with a slice of lime

dinner:
I ate Italian pasta with imitation crab meat
tropical fruit punch ( 9 oz)

Other stuff:
drank water and pomegranate green tea with honey

So I think I am way below calories and i guess it can still be considered the special k diet.

I am allowed to drink whatever I want, which I did. I replaced the breakfast with the smoothly and I'm allowed to eat whatever I want for dinner.

special k diet

So today I started the special K diet. I have been keeping track of what I eat just not on the blog, I was keeping track with my cousins. Well she bailed, that doesn't matter tho.

I found the special k diet from a commerical and I decided to try it. I do believe this is just a scam to sell there products only, so I am going to slightly modify I go along.

Basically they want u to eat a breakfast of either cereal with skim milk or cereal bar with milk. I usually eat cereal so that won't be too difficult. I have never tasted their cereals so we will see how that goes.

For either lunch or dinner you will replace 1 with a meal replacement drink or bars. I bought a ton of cereal bars, so that will have to work for one of the meals. I might reconsider and buy the protein bars, we'll see.

For the other major meal you can eat whatever you want. I am excited about that, because I think that should make it easier to stick with. I only cook dinner for my husband so I want to be able to eat dinner with him.

The other 2 snacks of the day should be should be cereal bar, special k drink options, etc.

Today, I started the day later then normal so I decided instead of the protein shake or bar, I would just make a smoothy. I put fresh bananas, strawberries, skim milk and vanilla ice cream.

I have weight myself today and I am going to measure my waist. It says in 2 weeks u will lose 1 inch off your waist or 6 lbs.

So I have been looking into this 30 day shred, it doesn't say you have to do it everyday for 30 days. It just says after 30 days you should be x lbs lighter. So, yesterday I didn't do the 30 day shred nor did I on Sunday. Today however I did my self defense class, which is going to replace my workouts on Tuesday until I finnish the class.

and the measurements are in!

So I looked up the last time I weighed what I weigh now, it was Mid-june of 2009 :-(
I also got my husband to measure me so that I can see how well the 30 day shred works.
Here are my measurements at day 1 of the 30 day shred:
Right Arm (6 inches from the shoulder): 14 in
Chest: 41 1/2 in
Waist: 37 in
Abdominals 43 1/2 in
Hips: 46 in
Right thigh: 28 1/2 in
Calf: 14 2/8 in

digusting!! Oh well. Before starting the shred, My left arm hurts, I am feeling super lazy and fat. I know after today I will be hurting a lot but lets see what happened. My sister in law was telling me about a body builder she knows who works out no matter how much pain she is in. She could have a sprained ankle and will still workout. I am not going to take it to that extreme however I will try to workout no matter how sore I get from this workout. In the past when I tried the 30 day shred, I would workout for a few days and then quit because I could handle the pain. I was attempting a break for a few days that just turned into failure. I will for sure remeasure at the end of 30 days and maybe once in the middle to see the progress.

Sadly my weight today is 182. I don't want to share this number but maybe it will encourage me if more people know how fat I am. My goal weight is 145 which was my weight when my husband met me.

Here we go.

ok, here is the 100th attempt at trying to keep this blog going. Now that the other blog is done, lets see if I can keep up with this one.

Today, I am going to start the 30 day shred, again. I was watching the videos on youtube but they no longer are on there. I went to walmart a few days ago and found it for $9.00, so I purchased it.

Although I was doing good at maintaining my weight that is no longer the case. For the past month my sister in law has been staying with us, and we both let ourselves go. We both ate a lot of things we normally wouldn't eat and as a result, I gained 8 lbs :-(. I am saddened by the way I look, but even more by the number on the scale. I believe it has been over a year since I have seen the number and I really can't go up any more then I have.

I will report back tomorrow with how the workout was as well as what I ate today. I KNOW I ate so much yesterday that I am just too embarassed to write it down.
