That feels good. Two pounds gone in one day on the conditioning diet. Today begins the weight-loss diet. That's a whole different kettle of fish. Speaking of which, I'll be eating a lot of fish. And chicken.
As lovely as it is, the two-pounds-per-day thing will not last; I know that. I will hit plateaus, I will get frustrated, I will curse and vent and bitch and moan ... and the weight will come off. It just won't do it the way I want it to. Well, so be it. When needed, I'll do an egg-grapefruit day.
And it's time to get onto the NordicTrack. That will do at least two things: it will help the weight peel off and it will get me into shape for my Grand Plan for next summer.
It's also time to start taking advantage of the swimming membership I have at the gym. I love to swim. I love to be in the water. But it's something of a PITA to drive from Schenectady to Guilderland to do that.
Time to eat breakfast. Breakfast will be a glass of water, then a bran pancake (2 Tbsp unprocessed bran, 1 egg, some flavoring ... I'll use cinnamon) and a glass of lemon juice/water and vitamins. That'll keep me going til 10:30, at which point I'll have a pear and a glass of water. Then at noon I'll eat a salad with lots of lettuce and spinach and some chicken and a glass of water. At 3 pm, I'll have a Wasa and a glass of water. For dinner at 6, I'll have broiled salmon, lots of salad, Wasa and water. For snack at 7:30, I'll have an apple and water. And I'll spend the entire day peeing. When I get hungry in the evening, I'll climb on the NordicTrack and get my blood sugar cranked up with some exercise.
So ... that's the Plan for today.
UPDATE: I stuck to the Plan pretty well today. I added 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with almond extract and cocoa powder for dinner’s dessert and an orange at about 9:30 tonight. That’s not a bad plan; with those two additions, I did not feel hungry. And that makes me happy. It’ll slow down the weight loss somewhat if I continue those two cheats, but not significantly, I think.
