JEN IS MAKING THE CUT!!

[DEDIKAYTED]

Well I am starting a journal so that I can keep a better track of my diet/exercise. It will be easier for me to come to my journal to see my progress then keep going back to different threads to see what I was doing to drop pounds. So I'll be checkin in here everyday to chart my weight, along with the food I am eating and my exercise.

Today so far:

No excercise in the a.m

Weight: 161.6

Breakfast
2 eggs scrambled w/mozzarella
3 strawberries & very small slice of cantaloupe - 5
1 Chobani Greek Yogurt sweetened with 1 equal - 7

Day 9's workout 9:00p.m.

Post Workout
Blueberries and 1/2 small container of greek yogurt
2 spoons raw almond butter
half & half

Ok, I ate pretty well today. So what's going to happen with the scale tomorrow? I got a funny feeling it AIN"T going to be no thing nice.

Well, if so, what I think I'm going to do is tweak some things to get out of the 150's. This simply means dropping the fruit and the yogurt for a few days. That should do the trick! Veggies are fine.

I bought about 20 containers of Greek yogurt today on sale for 1.00 at Giant. I love them. Tomorrow is a Rest Day in Jillian's Program, so it will be a great day for my carbs to drop some. I do, however, want to sneak in a jog in the a.m. We'll see. Unfortunately its supposed to snow!

So we'll see what the scale says tomorrow and go from there. Let's see what can have tomorrow... Hmm.. I have turkey burgers in the freezer and tilapia. Both are easy to make. I'd rather have the turkey burger though.

I really want to be 158 by Sunday!

[DEDIKAYTED]

Weight: 163.0 WTH?

Well, there you have it. I will cut out the fruits and yogurts until I am back into ketosis. I guess switching from higher carbs to less now, I need to bring them down far enough for me to get back into ketosis and then slowly add the carbs back. So today will be sweet and simple.

small cup of coffee w/ half & half

3 eggs scrambled w/ 1 non diary chese

tuna w/ mayo & 1/4 cup shredded cheddar

I'm not sure about dinner yet.

[DEDIKAYTED]

small cup of coffee w/ half & half

3 eggs scrambled w/ 1 non diary chese

salad w/ ranch

tuna w/ mayo & 1/4 cup shredded cheddar I guess..

I do know one thing. I have to stop eating out. I am spending WAAY too much money on foods. Like today I went to Giant to make a salad for lunch when I already brough in the tuna. Now why did I do that. I am spending money unnecessarily and I don't like that.

So the rest of the day should be little to no carbs. All my carbs for the day should have came from my salad.

So the tuna with cheese probably would be great for dinner. We'll see what I end up choosing later.

I'm trying my best to get in ketosis without dropping all the veggies, even though I know this is the fastest way!

[LBishop]

hi Jen! This is good! I think it will help us both.

[DEDIKAYTED]

Weight 162.8

Yesterday's full menu

small cup of coffee w/ half & half

3 eggs scrambled w/ 1 non diary chese

salad w/ ranch

tuna w/ mayo & 1/4 cup shredded cheddar ..

snack 2 tb almond butter and 1/4 cup cottage cheese
sf jello

I just dont get it. Could this be too much?

[DEDIKAYTED]

Yes, apparently it is. Its more than 1500 calories. Its more like 1700 calories and 20 carbs (including my veggies from my salad).

Alrighty. Guess I'd better just DO BETTER!

I may need to skip breakfast for a while and go back to eating lunch/dinner. It'll save me some calories. I'll still have my coffee and water though.

When things don't add up, I guess that's exactly what you have to do - STARTING ADDING EVERYTHING UP!

I guess I'm so resistant to counting calories for fear that the fat is going to make them add up fast. PLUS, I don't like feeling like I ran out of calories for the day. I swear, I have eaten very HIGH calorie and my weight was moving along. Jeez, just last month, before this fiasco with my change in plans... I was down to 157, while eating loads, and I mean LOADS of fat! I was going out eating PRIME RIB dipped in butter for goodness sake.

More calories, less calories. I dont know.

I have to talk this out to figure things out for myself. Well, when I was eating the prime rib dipped in butter, I was definitely having less carbs... I think... Let me go back and check.

Lawd! Give me strength!

Jen, why not go back to that? I know you don't want to get bored, but you can go back to it and just add in some variety without adding in a lot of calories, can't you? I hate to see you having to count every calorie, plus to me it looks like you're not eating enough.....don't skip breakfast! Especially if you're going to work out like you are, you NEED the breakfast and the calories. I wish I knew the answer for you, but you know, the scale IS moving....you lost 1/2 pound! that's something. I know it's not moving fast enough for you, and I sympathize, but it's going to go down!

[DEDIKAYTED]

That was my first round of 72' back several months ago.

Now, I will be documenting my 2nd round.

Here we go!

[COLOR="Red"]Round 2! DING DING![/COLOR]

[DEDIKAYTED]

Meals

• Meatloaf
  
• 3 eggs scrambled w/ 2 slices non dairy cheese
• 4 bacon

Worked out in the evening.
Did my workout with Jillian (cut it short... too many people in the gym)
Plus 30 minutes jog

[DEDIKAYTED]

Meals

• 4 rev rolls w/ butter & cinnamon/stevia
• A taste of a burger that was too salty to I threw it out.
  
• 1/2 pound of snow crab legs dipped in butter
• cup of salad w/ 3 bacon & little shredded cheddar
• mayo for dressing
  
• Powerade Zero, Diet Rootbeer, Grape drink pack, tons of water

Workout
A.m.:
Jogged for 20 minutes, then proceeded to do Jillian's workout (Day 18)


I think the Powerade helps with my electrolyte balance. The last time I did 72' I felt sick a lot... I guess from losing electrolytes. There was definitely some kind of imbalance going on. This time, much beter! I feel great! Even when I workout in the morning! Yaay!

[DEDIKAYTED]

Meals

Turkey meatloaf w/mayo






Workout.. A.m
Jogged 20 minutes before doing Day 19 of Jillian's workout. 1.5 hours.

[DEDIKAYTED]

I hate when I can't go back and edit a post...

Well to keep count, I am adding things as I eat them.. So today. Day 3

• turkey meatloaf w 1 boiled egg and 1 boiled yolk & mayo
  
• 4 rev rolls w/ crapload of butter & cinnamon
• little turkey meatloaf (Didn't want this)

Tonight I am going to happy hour. I checked the menu out, but I am hoping that the Rev rolls and butter keep me satisfied so that I am not too hungry when I get there!! I don't plan to drink alcohol. I am really just going for the scenery, and to get out of the house... something that SINGLE people SHOULD do! (I gotta keep telling myself that!) Anyway, I will probably just order a cesar salad and ask for oil and vinegar dressing.. and voila.. still on plan!

Let's just pray it goes that way!

[talkincircles]

Im posting here so Im subscribed to this

[DEDIKAYTED]

Bekki and Ashley... Thanks for visiting! Happy Valentines Day to you too!!!!!!

[talkincircles]

Hey sorry I havent been around much today my cold is worse so I have just been sleeping it off. So the rev rolls I replace the cream cheese with mayo so I mix the mayo with the yolks then mix them into the whites? I have to start this tomorrow I have lost ZERO just normal induction thelast few days

[talkincircles]

Sorry for all the questions Im getting desperate here! As soon as I get it all figured out I promise they will stop!

[DEDIKAYTED]

oh Ashley! I'm here to help! I'm sorry. I have been out all day. Its about 12:30a.m right now and I jumped on here to see what I've missed.

I had to look up the recipe where I originally got this from because I don't measure my mayo. I just put a couple squirts. But you CAN overdo it with the mayo so you dont want to put any extra.

8 eggs, separated
1/4 tsp of cream of tartar
3 Tbs. of Hellman's Mayonaise

You can ask me as many questions as you want!

[talkincircles]

Thank you so much!! That is different than the recipe I use for oopsie rolls, so after you get those ingredients what do you do? And how many does it make? So far today I have had jello and heavy whipping cream so I am ok so far right? I dont know why this 72 thing is so confusing to me! Thank you so much for your help it means alot

[DEDIKAYTED]

Here's the whole recipe. I don't use the cheese but probably will one day. I'm always just trying to throw it together quickly... Here you go:

Revolution Rolls - 12 Rolls


8 eggs, separated
1/4 tsp of cream of tartar
3 Tbs. of Hellman's Mayonaise

Put whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, beat until whites are stiff..(don't move in the bowl), but not dry.

NOTE: Separate the whites from the yolk in a separte container because I've noticed if you get any yolk in your whites then they won't beat as fluffy.

In a medium bowl, mix yolks, mayonaise, Mix until well blended.

Dump all the yolks on top of the whites mixture.. Gently fold the mixtures together. Do not "mix" you must "fold"

Either using a muffin-top pan (which has been sprayed with Pam) or a cookie sheet, plop 6 mounds.

NOTE: I put the base on and make sure it's spread then pile it up so it's high.

Add sprinkles of cheese to the tops (optional).

Bake at 300 for 25-30 minutes until well browned...Cool on rack and then store in baggies in the fridge.

Revolution Rolls - 12 Rolls


8 eggs, separated
1/4 tsp of cream of tartar
3 Tbs. of Hellman's Mayonaise
1/4 Tsp of Garlic powder (optional)
Sprinkle of cheddar for the top
Sprinkle of freshly grated parmesian cheese for top

Put whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, beat until whites are stiff..(don't move in the bowl), but not dry.

NOTE: Separate the whites from the yolk in a separte container because I've noticed if you get any yolk in your whites then they won't beat as fluffy.

In a medium bowl, mix yolks, mayonaise, and garlic. Mix
until well blended.

Dump all the yolks on top of the whites mixture.. Gently fold the mixtures together. Do not "mix" you must "fold"

[DEDIKAYTED]

You are doing great. Do you have the '72 book? If not, maybe I can find you version with the induction phase typed out. I know I seen it somewhere...

I know its hard when you don't know exactly what you can have. Just let me know if you need anything!

[DEDIKAYTED]

Let me try to think of what I ate yesterday.

Day 4:

3 rev rolls w/butter

1 rev roll w/ 1 canadian bacon & non dairy cheese (sinus)

chicken ceasar w/ oil & vinegar

1 oz of white zinfadel with a friend for V-Day
