GM Diet

It's currently T-minus 5 days until I head to beautiful Maui, Hawaii.  Neither Greg or myself have ever been.  I've been shopping for cute beach clothes, getting my tan on and even eyelash extensions! I'm so excited to not have to worry much about my makeup while snorkeling and frolicking in the sand.

Speaking of frolicking, usually those participating in such fun, don a small piece of fabric; many like to call a bathing suit. Crap! Where has the time gone! I swear, I've been planning for this trip for months now! Why on earth have I not lost a pound?? Moreover, why the hell have I gained a pound or two? 

Well, not to dive into my love/hate relationsihp with dieting, I'll skip to the fad diet I'm willing to give a go. The winner is.... the GM Diet! http://www.gmdietworks.com/ 

Stay tuned, while I give you daily updates while attempting to lose about 5-8 lbs in 6 days.  Diet is meant to be followed for 7 days, but you know, I started a day late. (if followed 7 days, can lose 10-17 lbs) 

Day 1:  Fruits only (except bananas)

Start weight:144.0

am: Strawberries

midday: Watermelon (1/2 cup) & peach & orange

snack: Extra small apple 

pm: pear

snack: strawberries

Review:  Overall, steady energy throughout the day.  Stayed busy at work. Only time I got hungry was while writing this blog at night.  Day one wasn't bad at all! In fact, I enjoyed not having to worry about what my next meal was going to be.  Tonight, I'm prepping the "Miracle Soup" to cook in the crockpot, so I can have ready for tomorrow. 

Day 2: Veggies only

Weight: 141.6 !!!!! :)

Woke up feeling light and refreshed.. literally! Much to my surprise, the scale came in 2.4 lbs under yesterdays weight! I'm feeling strong.

am: coffee, water, and the recommended Potato with a pad of butter- felt like Christmas!

midday: cauliflower & Miracle soup  (soup was gross. no flavor)

pm: FAIL! Greg and I along with some friends went to go see Journey last night.. well, I wasn't going to drink or eat anything outside of my diet, but I did. YOLO! (I hate that word)

Day 3:  Veggies and Fruits only ( still no bananas)

Weight: 142.6

Of course the loss the water weight was quickly gained back after my short-lived love affair with beer, wine and steak.  Oh well, back on the wagon I go!

am: green tea smoothie: green tea, kale, spinach, celery, handful of mango, strawberry, guava (from Costco) one packet of stevia, 1/2 squeeze of lemon. DELISH!

snack: orange

midday: artichoke

snack: snap peas/ cauliflower

Overall, sort of hungry, but no real appetite, cause the last thing I want to eat is another damn carrot!:

Intermission:

Here we are, about 10 days after I began my diet.  Let's just say, I should have known better.  I gained the few lbs. I lost back, plus a few, thanks so many Mai-Tai's and 3 meals a day of dining out.

Having really been focusing on Eating Disorder Awareness week this month, I have been able to quickly change my mental focus from a usual disappointment
