Update and The 3 Day Military Diet

Hey everyone! So I know I haven't posted here in like forever!

Things are going good - Jay's in preschool now since turning 3 so he can continue speech therapy in school and I've taking to writing some fan fiction on fanfiction.net.

Anyways, I just felt like chronicling this 3 day "military" diet I decided to try.

Jay, my mom and myself went to visit my sister in Virginia Beach back in March and upcoming back I decided I needed to lose weight.

I weighed myself for the first time after counting calories for about a week or two via the My Fitness Pal app and was down to 189.5. I weighed myself this past Friday (about a month and a half into counting calories) and was down to 174.5 and had gone from a size 12 jean to a size 10 (go me!). My short-term goal is to be able to fit into my black "rocker" Tripp NY pants I used to wear in college by the time of the Powerman5000 concert this week. I tried them on last week and I can get them over my thighs... just need to get them over my bootilicious booty! They're a size 9, so I'm *really* close!

And because I'm soooo close to fitting in them but coming down to the wire on my goal deadline I decided to try the 3 Day "Military" Diet to see if it works - figured if it does, great! If not... oh well, at least I tried it!

So today was Day 1.

Breakfast:
1 piece of wheat toast
2 tbsp of peanut butter
1/2 grapefruit
Coffee - black

Lunch:
1 piece of wheat toast
1/2 cup tuna
Coffee - black

Dinner:
1/2 banana
1 small apple
1 cup green beans
3oz turkey lunch meat (meat of your choice)
1 cup plain vanilla ice cream


Breakfast was okay, although coffee black was pretty gross! I don't understand people who drink it like that regularly - I need to load up on the creamer for flavor! I did feel a little dizzy though when I would stand up too fast.

Between lunch and dinner... I was literally starving, or so it felt. I ended up chewing gum while at work as it said you could have a piece gum so I did that to save myself as I feeling a little weak.

I was sooooo hungry by the time I finished my shift, dinner filled me great though! I will say though - I *hate* green beans! They're disgusting! I had about 2 bites left and almost gagged they were so gross! Thankfully, the menu for the next 2 days is all stuff I don't mind eating (no more coffee black or green beans!).

So I survived the first day of the diet, although I'm still hungry... Day 2 looks alright, although I'm dreading Day 3 as it looks like you don't eat much at all!
