And I have already fallen off the wagon. Or was I never really on?? I don't know. I am doing the best that I can. I have been really good about not going crazy with my cheating. Try again tomorrow I guess. I am only human. It's hard this time, since my husband isn't along for the ride. Le sigh.

onto Day 3!!!

2nd time around= much slower loss! Or could it be there is less to lose? Let's face it... I haven't been as strict. I did make it to the gym last night though, so yay!! Today's goal- follow the diet to a T. I have already had my lemon water, and have kale and mushrooms cooking on the stove. Adding in an egg for breakfast. Green Tea.Water. Snack- apple. Water. Lunch- salad with tuna. Green Tea. Water. Snack- smoothie. Water. Dinner- chicken with kale and mushrooms. Water. Green Tea. Snack- smoothie. Water. Hello potty!

I am going to get some almonds too. I need to add a little extra fat, for the breastfeeding, and I think that will be a better choice then peanut butter.




Stats- 169.6 Lbs.

Day 2

Day one was ok. I am down a pound, probably could have been more but I barely drank any water and only one cup of green tea. I am having a hard time getting into this time. Hopefully, I'll see a big loss and that will motivate me. Oh well, 16 days left.

New Year 13-20 lbs goal!!

Fat Arms!!
Gross baby belly!!
About 17 days before Thanksgiving 2011, I convinced my husband to do the 17 day diet with me. I still had a lot of baby weight to lose, on top of the 10 I had to lose pre-pregnancy. Don't we all. He, well Hubs had just gotten fat. I am still breastfeeding, so I needed something with fruits, veggies and yogurt in it. I also needed something I could tweak (not recommended, nor is this diet for BF mama's) Liam, my 3rd and youngest, was 8 months old. I have been an avid runner, but with 3 kids, babysitting part time, dance and blah blah blah... getting to the gym wasn't easy. So extreme dieting it was!
But it wasn't. The first week sucked. After that, it wasn't so bad. I didn't have to think about what to eat, since it is spelled out for you. It was hard to fit in all the foods, but lo and behold- I went from 183 (gasp!!!!) to 168. 13-14 lb weight loss depending on the day. My pants fit again (being able to button counts) After Thanksgiving, I tried to be good. I did. Until December. And most importantly, Christmas week. Hello 4 lb weight gain. Sigh.
So here we are... Jan 2 and starting over. I can do this. I need to do this. I will be hungry and bitchy. But it will even out.
This morning, after my hot lemon water, we started with eggs mixed with kale, and red onion. Mid morning- fruit smoothie with kefir, blueberries and flaxseed. Lunch- chicken with salad. Lots of green tea (which will bind you up, so take note) And dinner will be turkey meat in heavily loaded veggie sauce. With a salad. I must add I do add in an extra fruit and yogurt since I am still nursing. So we shall see... I am hoping to at least lose the 4 lbs I gained this week. And go to the gym 3 times. Wish me luck!!!!
