Changing my Life through Accu-weight Loss

Haha, okay so I decided to weigh myself today. Happy to say that on my 3rd day I’m down 4 lbs. at 176.  Yay me!I’m predicting at least another 3 lbs. lost by next Tuesday..

So today I tried following a recipe… keyword is tried..  We didn’t have fresh vegetables in the house really, at least not the kinds I eat when I’m on this diet. We only had mixed.. so I tried this recipe which involves lemon juice, ground pepper, parsley, garlic, onions and then your vegetables of choice.  I am no cook. I need to learn though, but the meals I HAVE cooked involve oil, rice, potatoes and some kind of meat. My family is Bangladeshi (next to india) so you could imagine the types of food I’m used to.. at least like flavor wise. The recipes on the site are.. well… not the type I’m used to. Everything ends up tasting so bland to me.  This recipe is really good though, except that the veggies I used were from a mixed bag so it was carrots, peas, corn and lima beans. I had to pick the lima beans out because I can’t have them.. no starchy vegetable allowed (no potatoes =[ )

For “dessert” I followed a recipe where you blend 4 bananas (I only had 2 and also 2 servings of fruit a day), blend it with the Walden Farms 0 calorie chocolate syrup (I used unsweetened cocoa), a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of walden farms 0 calorie pancake syrup. Then you pour it into a bowl and leave it in the freezer for a bit. The result.. well it was pretty delicious actually. Tasted REALLY good. I’m going to do that again maybe tomorrow if I get some more banana’s… 

Okay while this all sounds fine and everything.. I DID cheat today! Bad bad bad. BUUT, it wasn’t an extreme cheat like I would do before which would mess the whole week up for me.. this one just slowed it down for the week. So I may only lose like 2 more lbs. for the week. I had 4 cream puffs.. really tiny ones though.. My mom brought them back b/c at her workplace they had allll this food given to them by corporate.. (ice cream cake, cakes, fruits, pizza) 

Also.. I ate this all before 6 pm… if you’re going to cheat on this diet, at least cheat between the hours  and drink tons of water. Well I drank a bunch after that. I DO feel it though.. the small effect from that one cheat. But it’s okay the important thing is I stuck through the rest of the day.
