After yesterday, and two days on my "diet", I've come to a conclusion: regimented diet plans do not work for me. In theory, planning out meals for the whole week is great, but I'm a picky eater (to an extent) and having to eat something right now as opposed to tomorrow, when I'm not in the mood for that particular food, just makes me want to rebel against the plan. So I end up doing something like eating junk food or snacking on something after I've eaten, etc. Not to mention I seem to always be hungry...So I think what will work for me best is to count calories, plan my food out to an extent, and try and eat as healthy as I can without depriving myself completely (which will just lead to binges on junk food and sweets).
My weigh in today shows I gained a bit of weight. It's minimal enough that I'm not worried, since it could just be water weight or whatever. I did get pretty close to my RDI yesterday, though, so that might have something to do with it. Or the salt that I put on my popcorn (which wasn't much - but it was still there). Either way, I figure that's why I'm up a little bit in weight.
In the good news, I cruised through Jillian Michaels' Making the Cut book, and am 99.9% sure that I'm going to do the 30-day workout plan, starting this Saturday. It looks like it's a gym version of the 30 Day Shred, which I prefer since there isn't really anywhere to work out in my condo. Not to mention the neighbor downstairs would probably complain due to the bouncing around and what not. I've altered the schedule a teensy bit so that the days off coincide with the days I work both jobs, but it's minimal and shouldn't have too much of an impact. So be prepared to see some journal entries of me bitching about how sore I am, haha!
Oh, and I ordered three books yesterday, all by Jillian Michaels: Making the Cut, Master Your Metabolism, and the Master Your Metabolism Cookbook. Yes, I'm on a Jillian Michaels kick - I really like the way she writes. I wanted to have the books permanently (as opposed to just out of the library), so now I will...once they arrive.
