Update on Plateau Buster!

Day 1.... So wow the carb thing is going to be the worst. Not that I am hungry for them but everyone at my work has them all day long so its hard not to grab a cheez-it when they are right under your nose. So this morning I woke up and had a hard boiled egg (2 oz) and a string cheese (1 oz) for breakfast. Then drank a protien shake around 9 am. For lunch I had two pieces of fat free bologna (2 oz) and another string cheese (1 oz). I drank my two qt.'s of water throughout the day at work and then when I got off I went to the gym. Did 40 minutes of intense cardio and tanned for 20 (gotta have some relaxation time). When I got home I ate 3 oz of garlic jack cheese. Thats where we are at right now. NO CHEATING DONE SO FAR! I have taken all my vits. and currently am up to a gallon of water for the day. Tonight I am having 6 shrimp cooked in pam, garlic, and garlic salt (3 oz) and then later in the evening I will have 3 oz of cottage cheese. HOLY CRAP that seems like nothing to eat all day but I have been stuffed and pretty happy about it. Now to make it through the evening without having a clamato beer.... Ok so thats the update on this thing. Tomorrow another to follow with my weight unfortunately!

Good job Jen. I know how the beer thing is going to be for you, but I know you can do it. I wanted to do the plateau thing with you, but I am going to wait until 10 days before rodeo weekend to do it I have cut my alcohol portions as well. On Sat I only had 2 Vodka Crans, and Sun I only had 1. Go me Hey are you going to the coffee thing this Saturday? I think I am going to go since it's right down the road from me (they are having it at Plantations). I need to catch up with you. Hope you have a good day tomorrow with the buster! Neici

I dont know about doing the coffee thing. I might try and make it. Let me know what time it is going to be at. When is rodeo weekend? Andy and I are going to the Red Bluff Rodeo which is the second to last weekend in April. Hopefully Oakdales wont be on the same weekend.

Does Alcohol affect you at all? It doesnt me. I have had yukon and water, bacardi and water and scotch and water and none of them even made me tipsy.

Alcohol effects me. No dumping or anything. It was so funny though. My work had a pizza and beer party. Of course I only ate the toppings off the pizza cause I dont do well with the crust BUT i had a beer. Made the rest of the afternoon very interesting. Now presurgery I could drink a few long island iced teas and have no problem. I have a beer and I definitely could feel the effects. =) But just as fast as I felt the effects it was gone in an hour. =) Kelli

I haven't had a margarita in SIX months... after reading your post, I'm so tempted to have one! LOL... I've been afraid!
