HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY: WEEKEND UPDATE

I have never a day in my life been to tired to eat.  NEVER 

I know what you mean about having company coming and having to hurry and clean up.  LOL.

I hate company and damit my house is sometimes messy and I don't want to clean for them. LOL

All I can say is ditto cause you ladies said it all.  I got so much house work to do I left and went out for a coffee so I did not have to think about it.  Got back to the house and damn the mes is still here. 

Well, not eating is always a good thing for foodies like us. Lol. 

Although I had quite a bit of junk Saturday blowing my carbs to hell, I am on target with calories.  For that matter, if I stick Sunday's calories I'll be leaving a few hundred on the table for this week. 

Tomorrow I start EXTREME FAT SMASH!  I still have not worked out all the allergy issues but I will substitute foods with similar calorie, macro nutrient, and glycemic index numbers.  I've started planning my week in fatsecret thanks to MsLee's menu for us type 'y' folks.   Gonna finish my plan, shop, try not to eat that 450 cals left over from this week, and its on to extreme fat smash.   

Word of advice when doing the Extreme Fat Smash,  don't count the calories or carbs or protein because it will scare the **** out of you and make you not want to do it.

I started off thinking dam i'm not getting any protein and had to stop it cause even when I am getting protein my ass is staying fat. 

So I just trusted the process and went with it, and that is what i'm continuing to do and i'm still losing.

Too late, already done.  Damn, day 1 is just 18g protein and 510 calories.  My salad dressing is zero cal and my milk is 40 cal.  If I take the cals from low fat milk and the typical ff or low fat salad dressing, 1oz of egg white protein is about equal at 106 cals bringing the totals to 43g protein and 647 cal. 

From what I've read, type y cycles from 800-1000 calories.  Using the exact foods listed I came in around 750 cals before making substitutions.  I've got to improvise no matter what.  Since my versions are lower calorie in general I figure I'll just add a scoop of egg protein to my daily glass of unsweetened almond milk for a total 146 cal and no additional glycemic impact. 

I can't get any suitable yogurt substitute but diabetic meal bars come closest nutritionally including the glycemic index.  I'll have one in place of the yogurt on those days. 

I just spent a fortune on 100 cal snacks, hot cereal, brown rice, etc.  Since I don't normally eat most of this stuff I had to stock up on everything.  I'm ready for tomorrow.  I'll have each day portioned and ready the night before.  Do you think these substitutes are reasonable? 

I think the protein substitutes sound fine,  I think i'm going to start adding some protein to my Greek yogurt.  
 
Yes it's expensive because you have to eat a ton of veggies and veggies, but being fat is expensive also.  LOL. 
I don't eat any of those 100 cal snacks,  I make my snacks cheese sticks or edamame so that I get the extra  protein.  

But today I am dying for some See's.  It's about that time of the month and I am craving it like a mother but I think i'll go have some edamame and sit my ass down somewhere.

Problem with most 100 cal protein snacks is portability.  Edame and cheese sticks are off limits for me so that leaves meat.  A scoop of egg protein won't cut it as I need solid food as a snack. 

My 100 cal snacks are not all junk food.  I've got fruit, glucerna, and extends blood sugar control bars too.  With the mix I can have one healthy and one treat each day. 

They are included in my totals.    So far week 1 never exceeds 900 cals.   I have got to loose on an average of 800 cals for the week.  I will weigh tomorrow morning and not again until the end of this rotation.  I do not want to get discouraged if the scale does not move.  I'll try on a pair of shorts at the start of each week to gauge my progress. 

I'm psyched but I'm aprehensive too.  This will be hard like day one of my pre op diet.  I thought I'd loose my mind, lol. 

Yep I was aprehensive also and just plain scared it wouldn't work, but I am glad I stuck with it. 

I want all of my snacks to be a half of a snickers bar but I just figured that may not be a good idea.  I even tried to justify having a few m&m's as a snack but I know that would just be playing with fire.

I hear you.  That's why I spent so much on pre measured packages.  Veg is no problem cause I eat alot of veg.  It was hose diabetic low gi index foods that broke the bank plus the 100 cal snacks which I never buy.  Also hot cereals that I never eat. 

I forgot the low sodium V8 juice other than that I'm ready for the week.  Playing with fire for me is keeping snacks in the house.  Please God don't let me cheat. 

 Sista... I went on my early morning run yesterday morning and then paraded my arse up and down Manhattan in 4" heels ... can I tell you my doggs are talking to me and today I had to take a day of rest ...
