Diet Results

Well. Overall a major success.  By day 4 (after the diet) hubby had dropped 7.2 lbs and I dropped 8.4 lbs!

I was very pleasantly surprised.  I had assumed I would lose about 4 lbs, so to double that made me quite happy.

After Day 1 I had felt great. I stuck to the diet exactly.  By the afternoon of Day 2, I was feeling extremely weak and lightheaded. I also had a very fussy baby, and was concerned about him getting enough food.  I added up the calories and realized this diet has you eat only about 1,000 calories a day.  Which is fine for a "normal" person wanting to lose weight, but I decided I better up my calories by a bit since my K-bear was depending on me for his nourishment as well.  I stuck to the basic meal plan, but added a 4th meal in on Day 2 & 3 and ate a little more during dinner.  I'm VERY proud of the hubby who stuck strictly to the diet for all 3 days.

So even with added calories I was very excited to see that baby weight coming off!  Here's to another week of success.

I'm adding in a little more aerobic activity; hubby and I are still doing NO sugar; and eating healthy and reasonable portion sizes.

Day 1 Complete

Day 1 of our complete body make over is down now on to day 2!  I'm trying out this 3-day Military Diet that I found on pinterest.  You can CLICK HERE to see the site and read more about it.  I'm not sure how legit it is, but everything I know about health and diet seems to add up.  It's a very low calorie shock diet, that they claim is the perfect mix of nutrients to create huge weight loss.  I'm just adjusting it a little bit to fit my diet, (vegetarian and breast-feeding right now).  I'm hoping that I don't end up cutting too many calories that it effects my milk supply for my newest little man right now, but that it pulls from my giant fat stores and helps cut some weight . . . I'm going to be drinking a BUNCH of water all day long.
