NO ICE CREAM....
NO CANDY BARS & THIS INCLUDES ANYTHING WITH CHOCOLATE....
NO JUICY MEDIUM RARE STEAK.....
NO MILK, YOGURT, SOUR CREAM, COTTAGE CHEESE, CHEESE (NO ENTIRE DAIRY SECTION).....
NO FLAVORFUL DRINKS....
NO ROAST...
NO TACOS OR MEXICAN....
NO POTATO SALAD....
NO SUGAR CEREAL....
NO WHITE FLOUR, OR WHEAT FLOUR FOR THAT MATTER...
NO PASTA (YUM)....

Alright do you get my drift? No NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, ZIPPO!!!!

I have not had any of these food in the past week. I have been strong holding onto following this plan for my body. It isn't so bad as it may seem, here is a small list of things I do get to eat....


MUNG BEANS....
CHICK PEAS....
ADUZKI BEANS....
BROWN RICE...
BROWN RICE CEREAL....
SOY MILK.....
PINEAPPLE JUICE....
TOFU....
CORN CAKES OR RYE CRISP.... (RYE TASTE LIKE CARDBOARD & LOOKS IT)....
SHRIMP.....
ORGANIC CHICKEN....
GREENS....
CELERY & RADISH JUICE (NIGHTLY).....(NASTY, UGH, TOO HOT)
SPICED TEA.....
FISH....
MOST FRUITS....
HOMEMADE HUMMUS....(GROSS, GROSS, GROSS)...DID I MAKE MY POINT?

Now doesn't that all sound so delightful? I mean who eats this stuff? Oh, wait there are a few or a few thousands called vegetarians or vegans minus the fish & chicken. I haven't found that I am craving any of the things I am missing in my diet, sometimes I long for a piece of cheese all nice and gooey and yummy, but as far as other cravings they have COME & GONE!!!


I find myself doing my daily trend of following this meal plan and changing up the menu a little bit. I still can't believe that my body is not craving the one thing I have been addicted to for so many years and that is the love of THE DR....PEPPER or Mr. PIBB that is! Oh, how these quench my thirst and the sugar on my tongue as it's going down....WOWZERS no wonder they are implied men, women will swoon over them. However, I do believe when this meal plan comes to an end that this woman won't be doing too much swooning for the mere fact that so much time has passed on by (I HOPE)!!


Overall I find myself feeling better and both Guy and myself have noticed that my left leg isn't so swollen and puffy or red and it doesn't hurt all the time like it use to!!
I did however get a charlie horse the other night, and then a few days later I got one in my other calf....I wonder if that has something to do with the pills I am taking??


The bad bad monster that lives in our bathroom named THE SCALE says that I have lost 8lbs but I know or so I say most of it is water and that's what I wanted, while Guy says I have lost actual fat too. Hopefully I will keep dropping and the water will just pee out of me.....
This week I am introducing myself back to the gym now that I have one full week of the new eating. I had been reading a lot trying to figure out which was the best way to lose weight either high intensity or low intensity and I have found that everywhere says to do low intensity workout's for at least 30 min within your heart rate for a good work out. So, instead of doing a high which they say are for those that are maintaining themselves and NOT actually looking to lose weight, this shall be what I will incorporate and hopefully more weight will come off.


I am just glad that I have DONE ONE WHOLE WEEK and STUCK WITH IT!!!
