Weigh-in:
Diane (D)-71.5 kg, (157.6 lbs); Down 3.3 lbs or 2.05% (yesterday i may have typed 71kg, but meant 72..since our official weigh in time is 6pm. 71 kgs was in am)
Erik (E)-98.5 kg, (217.2 lbs); Down 4.4 lbs or 1.99%
Day 4 excercise:
Played soccer outside with alex. Not too much excercise involved. He mostly runs around falling on teh ball teh whole time. Erik does pushups and other stuff in teh morning when i'm asleep.
Day 4 food:
Erik came home sick form work today. The diet is not working well with him. When he came home he ate a piece of bread with peanut butter on it and slept for 3 hours.
E-breakfast: Pancake and protien shake.
snack-peanut butter and bread (not in diet!), yogurt, carrot & piece of cheese (not in diet!)
D-breakfast: 1/2 pancake (see below, doesn't look great but tastes realllllly good!)
lunch: 1/2 pancake (not feeling hungry today) and snacked on some leftover roast chicken
Dinner: shrimp sauteed with lemon, lemon chicken from teh book. So far the only recipe from teh book that I've liked is the pancake (or Gallette as he calls them).
snack- i was putting the clothes away and found a bag of gummy bears and a roll of rolos that i had hidden before easter. Craving something but not having it in the house is a little different then really craving it and staring right at it. I ate 3 gummy bears and an hour later i ate 3 more. I tried to stop myself with gum but the one i tried was disgusting. So i cheeted with a total of 6 gummy bears so far!!
Erik is sick to his stomach. I'm feeling ok, a little shocked about the being allergic to excercise but not feeling hungry at all. Still wanted candy (chocalte reisins and gummy bears) but that has nothing to do with being hungry.
So we don't think we're going to follow the diet as 'prescribed' by teh book. We'd like to eat more and excercise more but the whole breaking out in hives thing has me worried a bit.
****Cold**** According to the book, drinking and eating cold things (cold water, ice cubes, skinny dippeers that my mom has in her freezer) actually burns calories because your body has to warm it up. This is the opposite for warm things, you're body can actually steal energy (calories) from teh warmth of your coffee or tea. Also works for taking a cold shower (your body uses most of its calories regulating body temperature so a cold shower makes it work harder...pretty cool).
Tomorrow we are adding in vegetables to make this diet more barable.
