Height: 5’4”
Weight: 120 pounds
Goal: lose 10 pounds in 90 days. =110 pounds
Life situation: 31 years old and just had a baby 4 months ago. Lifestyle involves working several jobs and traveling a lot, so it is hard to workout and keep on a good schedule. Plus we eat out a lot as a family, so it will be hard for me to eat just fruit, vegetables, or fish.
How I am going to attack the problem:
· I am going to give up the main carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, etc…) I eat on a regular basis along with sugar for one month, (brown rice is the only exception to the carb rule for the month). I am also going to try to walk or run 4 miles a day plus do the PX90 workout series everyday for 90 days.
Day 1: (Tuesday -3-2-10)
Food consumption:
· a shake- Cal=90
· 1 apple. Cal=45
· 1 bell pepper. Cal=20
· went out to eat and had onion soup, salad (with dressing), and cooked vegetables. Cal=565
TOTAL CAL=720
Exercise:
None
How I feel:
I had a headache all day. Very hungry. Not sure I should try to live on just fruit and vegetables for a month? I am thinking already that I need to add some fish or chicken into my diet.
Day 2
Food Consumption:
*went out to eat and had salad (with dressing) and stuffed mushrooms. Cal=660
*1 apple . cal=45
*1 gatorade. Cal=80
*vegetable stirfry. Cal=120
TOTAL CAL= 905
Exercise:
Walked 4.2 miles. Cal’s burned =250
How I feel:
I crashed really hard about 5:00pm. I was starving. Again, I need to start eating more small meals throughout the day in order to make it on this kind of diet. I also find it very hard to walk my 4.2 miles (which takes about an hour and 15 minutes AND do the PX90.) My day with work and taking care of a baby is not allowing for another hour to do the PX90. I need to maybe start alternating walking one day and then doing the PX90 the next day. I don’t see how I can fit in both right now.
Day 3:
Food Consumption:
*1 yogurt drink. Cal= 70
*2 cups of brown rice. Cal= 440
*1 yogurt drink. Cal=70
*went out to eat = salad (with dressing), stuffed mushrooms, one breadstick. Cal=800
TOTAL CAL=1380
Exercise:
Walked 4.2 miles. Cal’s burned =250
How I feel:
I am missing sugar big time! I used to have 1 coke a day and am really missing that! I felt a lot better after I had the 2 cups of brown rice.
Day 4:
Food Consumption:
*1 yogurt drink. Cal=70
*sugar snap peas. Cal=100
*2 Cups of brown rice. Cal=440

How I feel:
Ok I know, I know I cheated really bad today with my Coke! But let me explain….I was at a ballgame (very hot outside) and it just sounded so great I couldn’t resist! However I only had ½ of the Coke and it didn’t taste nearly as good as I thought it would!! Other than that I have noticed I seem to have more energy without any sugar or the BIG carbs I was eating before. Maybe the rice is providing enough energy for me to get by and to walk my 4 miles a day? If I can do next week the way I did this week, I will be really proud of myself. However I do not want to get on a scale yet in fear I have not lost a single pound! I think I will save that devastation for another week! HahaJ
