I can't do this diet

[Guest guest]

I just posted the diet from for those who couldn't find it.

I don't think, actually, I know I can't do an almost pure protein

(how the heck do you strain broccoli...do they mean drain the water

off or push the sucker through a sieve?)

Also I personally am happy at 60 gm or so of protein.

However, the diet is a good starting point. I'll add fresh veges

(cauliflower, broccoli, spinach). I'll try for the deep greens for

iron.

I also will permit myself up to 2 pieces fruit for snack. An ideal

day might look like this:

6:00 coffee

7:30 whey protein w/ skim milk/water 200 calories

8:15 work out

10:30 apple or persimmon 100

water

12:00 1/2 carton non fat cottage cheese 160

2 c. boiled or steamed veges 75

1 piece whole grain bread 90

water

3:00 orange 100

6:00 tofu or chicken vege stir fry 300

water

This would be about 1050 calories. Low, but I think I can keep it

down for seven days.

The big deal is not munching on simple carbs. Here's what really

happened today:

8:00 1/2 c. non fat cottage cheese

1 oz. beef steak (piece of last night's leftovers)

1 c. frozen fruit pieces

1 pot Earl Grey

12:00 1 1/2 c.homemade Eggplant caponata (baked eggplant, onion,

garlic, mushrooms, capers, tomato sauce)

1 piece whole grain bread

And now here's where I lost it.

Arguement with husband followed by Christmas party!!!

1:30 6 Christmas cookies

2 c. coffee

2 candy canes

I really, really wanted to lie and cheat here. First I was going to

say 2 cookies. Then 4 cookies. Then six cookies and o1 candy cane.

But I weaseled out and fessed up to both candy canes and all the

cookies!!!

5:15 1 c. spaghetti

1 c. eggplant concoction

I have no idea how many calories I ingested. I didn't work out

today. My excuse was because I got funny at the gym yesterday and

wanted to see how many leg presses I could do in addition to the

lunges and leg circuit machines. I did 100 and couldn't walk today.

Looked like I'd had an all nighter with an energetic cowboy.

Ok!!! I'M READY!!!

Starting tomorrow morning seven healthy days til Christmas!

Just like the little engine that could..

I think I can..

I think I can....

I think I can......

I CAN! I CAN DO IT!!

Rah team!!
