So yes weekend did strike hard as always; not that I didn't say to countless temptations(and I am proud of that) but I think I could have done better(it was actually worse than last weekend). Anyways what is done is done, cannot do much about it. New week, fresh start!!

Exercise 

Ultimate Reset - Restore
Very slow paced workout, I am so used to go get workouts that the pace for this workout is painfully slow; but that is important too, slow down and take deep breaths,

Additional Comments
I have decided to replace I-burn with Phase 3 for next two weeks; some more prepping; but I think it will help me in reducing my weight and overall feel lighter. Will try it next week and see how it goes.

Also will include green detox smoothies as a snack tomorrow with half avacado.

Fast Metabolism Diet - Round 4 Day 11(W2) - P2

Snack 1
Detox Smoothie + 1 egg white

I like this smoothie; it has funny texture but it is very refreshing. I put a serving of green grass as well in it.

Breakfast

3 egg whites + broccoli + red pepper

Lunch 
Tempeh Vegetable Stew(Cook book recipes).

Snack 2

1 egg white + 2 cucumber

As I mentioned yesterday dropped the idea of chocolate mug cake as it tastes yucky to me.

Dinner

Tempeh Vegetable Stew(Cook book recipes).

Water

Hit the goal of 70 oz

Exercise 

Body Beast - Shoulders

Finished this workout against all odds, woke up late(it is a 40 min workout), iPad battery was 2% left by the time I finished my workout and my exercise ball needs more air. But I so wanted to be done with the workout in the morning that all this was worth it.

Additional Comments

Phase 3 starts tomorrow, need to buy some things like hummus for tomorrow. Phase 3 especially weekends are very tough for me because well life happens(social obligations) and I would say my will power is particularly low on weekends. I will try my best though. I am going to set an intention and make it happen, something in me says I am going to crave kale smoothie ...

Fast Metabolism Diet - Round 4 Day 10(W2) - P2

Phase 2 day 1 didn't go as bad as I expected, main reason for my hesitation was I was home(snowed in) and thought probably that would mean I would binge on something off the list; but I did fairly well; kind of proud of myself.

Snack 1
Detox Smoothie + 1 egg white

This time I could use Kale, it is difficult to drink because of texture, but one thing I want to mention is that it is surprisingly fulling; I was not hungry for hours. Breakfast timing got shifted to lunch because I didnt feel like eating anything. It actually became my breakfast.

Breakfast/Lunch

3 egg whites + broccoli + red pepper

Snack 2

Chocolate mug cake + 1 egg white + cucumber

You know what I think I am going to give up on this chocolate mug cake recipe; no matter how I try it always comes out tasting yucky...I still cannot believe how can anything chocolaty taste so bad.

Dinner

Tempeh Vegetable Stew(Cook book recipes).

I think it has a version of the recipe on Hailey's website as well. This is good. I know I am breaking the rule of the diet that if you are not vegan you should eat egg whites, but truth be told I do not think I can eat egg white for dinner without throwing up. A girl has got to remain sane and hence I opted for this; I know the results may not be drastic, but then I am ok with that. Right now I am aiming to lose 2 pounds a week which will put me into the place of lowest weight since I had my daughter i.e.132 pounds. If I am able to achieve that I think I would say my diet has been successful. 

Water

I think I did hit the goal of 70 oz, but I didn't count the glasses; it is kind of tough to do that when at home.

Exercise 

Body Beast - Build chest/Tri

Now this doesn't feel as such when it comes to working out; I am used to lot of sweating even during strength training so this was not much of a burn(might feel the burn after one day). Added a small session of some leg exercises in the evening; was interrupted by cuddles of a little monster!!

Additional Comments

A successful day as per my books; oh I did eat handful of spicy peanuts as I was going insane...but those 10 peanuts were enough to kick my craving off the curve.

Fast Metabolism Diet - Round 4 Day 6 & 7(W1) - P3

Weight on Saturday morning - 138 pounds(2 pounds down this week)

I sometimes feel Saturday and Sunday are tougher than Phase2; it is different kind of tough as you really want to let it loose after a week of craziness. Also I often get lazy and do not want to cook for self specifically!! Anyhow I think I did Ok, with some slip ups. I will list them down so that I can plan better for next week

Breakfast

Saturday - Had Indian breakfast; it had veggies and carb and was fat too!!
Sunday - Veggie omlete with one one toast

Was not so good at snacking, in the sense sometimes didnt feel like eating or sometimes ate only fat and couldnt include veggies. AREA OF IMPROVEMENT FOR NEXT WEEK.

Lunch

Sunday - This is where I goofed up, had two slices of pizza as I went to someone's house for lunch.

Had Indian tea for snack one day and it has sugar(Yes I am hiding my face in shame); but hey whatever it takes to pep up your mood a little bit.

Dinner

Saturday - Okra + chana dal + Roti

I doubt I would have hit the target. AREA OF IMPROVEMENT FOR NEXT WEEK.

Only thing I was consistent in as this is really a habit for me now; I feel terrible if I do not press play everyday. I am actually pretty proud of this achievement
Saturday - 21 day fix yoga extreme
Sunday - T25 Stretch

Additional Comments
New week, new hope and determination. some days I feel disappointed that I do not have awesome before and after pictures; but then I know that these small changes bring big changes internally.
