So I’ve been into this “new” diet for 4 weeks now. What I changed:

No carbs for night. Ie. no rice, ww pasta or my FF greek yogurt -yumm #drooling#

Mostly fish, chicken, turkey chops on lettuce, goat cheese feta crumbles, and no calorie preserv.

As about the change on my body. Nothing really special or earthshaking. Which makes me sad. I have not cheated -ok, I had 2 harvest nut grain or what pancake at Ihop-, and it does not seem like worth it. If I can look and feel the same, why not? I still have massive fat around my thighs, my belly, cellulite and I am not gaining muscle.

Next weekend I am going to cheat, I am gonna have a nice big FUNNEL CAKE! and ice cream

Week of Aug 1.

I’ve been eating ground beef for lunch instead of fish -it’s been only 3 days, steamed green beans and some peas, okra, fruit of the week raspberry.  My dinner is the same as last week, some fish and I was bad, I had coffee with it 2 nights..added some tastless whey to it, and chew a handful of raw walnuts and almonds.

Canola oil is that bad..?I love sesame seed but I think to cook with that it’d be too intense as for taste. Olive oil..?Greap seed oil? Flax is not good for cooking, right?

I try to get most of my carbs in the morning, then reduce it as the day goes(before mom came I had FF greek yogurt with no carb protein powder for/with my dinner -not sure that my stomach was thankful for the powder chunks thus)

I think during the day I have so much going on that I don’t have time to eat properly and when I finally get home, there is a packed fridge and right after I stop eating, I feel hungry again or "I have to eat something" feeling -like yesterday when my fish salad wasn’t enough and I had the tofu thing..

I recently, in the past 2-3 weeks feel very very tired during the day. I am not even in the mood to go to gym, I have to force and literally force myself going in when before I couldn’t wait to get in. When I am at work, I just want to get out and go to gym, when it’s time to go to gym, I just want to go home. Of course, when I get home I am no longer tired..

I thought I’ll blog this post of mine..

So..getting really depressed. I had my mother over for 3 weeks and I couldn’t leave her alone, which made my normal life all messed up regarding the exercise and diet part. Then she left, and I hurt my wrist, so it has been 4 weeks and only today I did my first biceps and shoulder exercise. In the mean time I did cardio 5 days (every other day 30 mins, regular 20 mins, no weekends) and 1 or 2 days leg workout on machines, since I couldn’t really grab.
Before:
Mon-Wed-Fri split weight training (legs/bi-shulders/tri-back)
Tues-Thurs: cardio 30-40 mins (elliptical, little asthma, can’t run or do stairs)

Exercise always around 7:30-8pm, finish aroun 8:30. Get home around 9:30 10pm. Sleep around midnight, 1 am.

Every day I walk to transportation 5 mins than to work from final transportation (about 15 mins), plus from gym to transportation about the same + 5 mins to home. And I walk all day technically but I sit too

I gained. Fat. I was both told and I can see/feel myself. Where..? My bums of course and upper thights. Before this little story started on June 1st, I ate pretty well, but I think I went into some kinda time machine or some black hole and I couldn’t see the good food from bad. I mean I ate pretty well and watched/eyeballed the daily calorie intake, but I still gained and I don’t really know why.

I started reading articles here on BB and I was just wondering if I did well this week with my food:
Monday
BF. Oatbran cooked in water 1/4 cup dry, few raisins, little cocoa powder, 1 pocket splenda
2 mugs of coffee with 3-3 splenda and like 3 tbsp coffee mate (Oh, this is the one thing I would make like 10:30 pm and just drink it for the taste, yummm- need feedback on it..)
about 1/2 cups of green grapes
(maybe I had some eggwhites by liquid eggs, but I forgot)
2 Hydroxycut (+1 during the day)
1 Dex L10 (+1 during the day)
1 Centrum
1 Omega 3-6-9 (+1 with dinner)

1/2 cup ww rice
1/2 cup steamed zucchini and green beans mixed
1 slice of flounder w. salt, pepper on canola oil and water (fish was prepacked, pretty long but not thick)

Snack 1 protein pancake about 10″ D
(prot. powders with low carb. listed in my profile, ww. flour, baking powder, splenda, liquid eggs, poppy seed, almonds,cinnamon, allspice, canola oil, water)

Snack same

Lunch

missed snack

Workout
walking to transportation, eating snack

Dinner
Some lettuce not as much as prev. days, codfish fillet, not long but pretty chunky on some parts walnuts, goat cheese feta 2 tbsp.
30-45 mins later 3 tbsp FF ricotta (1/4 cup=30 cal) 1/4 box of Soft Silken Tofu (no carb), splenda, cinnamon
Water

If it was a week before, I would had made some coffee with splenda and coffee mate but I am scared that it was the guilty pleasure..Also, by monday I dont drink protein powder, it just happened..

Earlier, I had FF yougurt mixed with whey for dinner, or grilled (on George Foreman!) chicken breast with brown rice or just like that with yogurt. But this week I am trying not to eat too much carbs before bed.

I tried to add my stuff to fitday, last year I did it with not too well chosen foods, this year I have no energie and time to do, since I eat various food, various places and I would have to update the saved list every day and calculate the amount..

Ok, so am I doing that bad?Do I eat enough, do I eat too much..?
Why did I gain and why my leg muscles and actually all the muscles are not visible? I think I just had no muscle under the layers so there is nothing to show.
