3 days in the life...

Well.... I did something random. I started a 3 day Diet. I know I know, why would I believe that I could lose weight ( 10 pounds ! ) in 3 days ????? I don't ( and I have not weighed in yet). But you know .. 3 days of my life, with a scheduled diet, that is more or less a cleanse... I figured why not ....... and you know what !? I am not the only one ! My friend Bre also decided to do the diet too.....  ( she may be guest blogging her account of the whole thing, if I get really lucky! )

So you can find the diet here : 3 Day Military Diet

So. Day 1. I started this awesome day by eating my minuscule breakfast, and needing lunch immediately afterwards........
 Wow... doesn't it look great ? No! You're right! However it was probably my favorite breakfast.. scratch that, MEAL of this diet.  By the time lunch came around however, I was starving and forgot to take a picture of my awful awful awful lunch.. Tuna and Toast .......... and some kind of fruit, I cannot remember but it was probably 1/2 a banana.

 Dinner was actually decent on day one ... AND ! You get vanilla ice cream!!
...Oh and I woke up on Day 2, 3 pounds lighter.
Thus ends the happiness.


Breakfast ... day 2. Hell. dry toast, Hardboiled egg and 1/2 a flipping banana. I then Starved..... 
Lunch looked like this : 





That ends my picture documentation.The rest was just too pitiful to Photograph.  Dinner was something Too much food honestly, 2 all beef hot dogs, which .. I must say I like a hot dog, but I cant imagine why they are on a diet plan.. I got decent all natural ones.... 1 cup of broccoli , 1/2 cup carrots, and 1/2 a FLIPPING banana. Plus 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream- Let me just say, I was So very Sick. My stomach basically never wanted food again. 


So! I woke up on day 3. I was actually surprised to be alive  after such excruciating pain in my head and such a stomach ache the night before... I forced my breakfast , 5 freaking saltines  and another damn egg down ... I couldn't stomach the apple until 1pm... I ate my lunch of ONE LAST EGG  on dry toast ... again .. around 2.......  I finally became hungry enough to eat dinner .. which I could not stomach tuna.. so I grilled some chicken , and  my final 1/2 a banana ( Hey did I mention, I hate bananas .... )  I did get another cup of vanilla ice cream, which I had to choke down .. because honestly.. I am not hungry at all .. I kind of hope and fear all  at the same time that I never again will be. 

So, Anyhow the story doesn't really end until I weigh in tomorrow, Even a pound or two will be nice - only because I already do feel better ....... Less well, bloated... and not hungry.. so it will be easy to make healthy decisions for when I am hungry... Believe it or not ....... I actually would do this again. However, I'd likely switch out the tuna and hot dogs for chicken and lean beef. Probably switch out the CUPS of vanilla ice cream for something lower in calories...... But I do realize that the foods outlined are supposed to work together..... so I guess it won't have the same effect.....

Sparkpeople is going to be my diet and exercise tracker for a while I do believe ! :)  All in all though, a somewhat positive experience! 


.......now, about pie ;)
