11 Days With Out a Soda

Nothing crazy happened today but we still went negative thanks largely to my mother and her great food gifts.
The breakdown:

+1 Fruit smoothie(Silk, Strawberries, Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
+1 Morning multivitamin
+1 two clementines with a turkey melt wrap(turkey, pepper jack cheese, lettice, tomato, light mayo)
+1 Banana mid afternoon
-2 Two chocolate covered Oreos (Its like my mother is trying to kill my diet)
-2 Buffalo chicken soup over rice (mom's leftovers)
+1 Big bowl of peas
+1 Banana strawberry smoothie with dinner little chocolate to taste
+2  Paddle Tennis (= to 15 minutes of cardio, we lost all three sets)
-4 Two glasses of wine after paddle
-2 two small pieces of a meatball mozzarella thing? (RJ made it)

Grand Total: -2


Notes:

Thursday is my Day off from the gym. I play paddle tennis instead, which I don't count as 15-30minutes of cardio. I missed my afternoon multivitamin I am out of my multivitamin after my morning dose on Friday. As they are rather expensive I asked for the platinum package from Pro Grade. Its the multivitamin, protein powder and an omega-3 supplement so hopefully the three will boost my healthy habits.

Day Ten on the Diet Blog

Another barely positive day as I enter into the double digits and I have weighed in to see where I am at so far. Its amazing how much of an impact my diet seems to have on my weight.

The day ten break down:

+1 fruit smoothie (silk, strawberries, blackberries)
+ 1 morning multivitamin
+1 Two Clementines with my turkey sandwich at lunch
+1 Bowl of baby carrots
+1 Afternoon Multivitamin
+5 One hour workout with personal trainer
-1 beer before dinner
-1 Small glass of champagne with dinner
-1 beer with dinner
-5 Dinner(quarter of a cheeseburger, handful of fries, small slice of pizza margarita, couple pieces of porterhouse steak) family style meal at Good Luck

Grand Total: +2

Notes:

Sugar free jello is a new diet friendly snack that should help kill my cravings.
Sadly last night after working out with the trainer I went out to grab more fruit and decided I was starving...so I bought a 12 pack of sugar free jello. I guess I am fully committed to this thing.
I seem to have slight issues sleeping , my stomach growls, I get light headaches, as my body adjusts to the serious restrictions on calories.
Also the eating unhealthy in social situations is another big help.

Saturday Back to My Old Ways Sadly

The first time since the start without a positive point all day. This was the kind of day I had before I started. Had to work on Saturday for end of the year inventory.

+1 Multivitamin first thing in the morning
+1 Multivitamin at the end of day
-2 birthday fruit tart at work. 
+5 For going to the gym

Note:  Weekends are going to be a serious problem for me.  Saturday is the first time since the start that I will probably not get a single positive point the whole day. Next week will have to be a bigger improvement on the + side of the ledger or the competition is gonna crush me in our weight loss competition.
