take two...

so I restarted the military diet today.  it was fine I’m actually not hungry and I don’t feel binge-y or snack-y at all right now and I still have a cup of yogurt and an apple and half a banana to eat tonight.  

I honestly had a really rough week with pulling an all nighter twice and my sleep schedule being super off because of that.  I actually took a benedryl last night at like 11 to put me to sleep and it definitely worked and I was up by 9 this morning with no issues :) so that was a relief.  I am gonna force myself to be up by 9 this weekend also so I can stay in a good routine because I CANNOT miss any more of my 8 am classes.  Ugh, though I hate them (due to content, not just their inconvenient time).  I also think I am gonna make myself get up absolutely no later than 9 am every single day of break (aim for 7 am) since I have class at 8 every single day next semester I will have to be up by 7/7:30 every day so might as well get in the habit right?  I know I can do it if I could get up at 5 for work at home I can get up at 7 for class, come on.

So yeah, restarted today!  Its gonna be kinda hard doing it on a weekend but also kinda easier because I don’t have to plan as much around my classes and all that.. but like I know on Sunday we are going to the Marriott to study and I will want to buy drinks and food but I just won’t let myself.  Or maybe I will just bail on my friend which I don’t want to do but honestly I am STICKING to this if it kills me.  It will be day 3 then so its not like I can order something similar to a slice of toast and one egg... honestly lol.

Day 2

So let me start off by saying last night was fucked up.  I had A LOT of studying I need/needed to do and instead I basically just fell asleep after dinner, woke up 5 hours later, ate some more (things I was supposed to and some that I wasn’t), and then went back to sleep for like 7 more hours.  So I have A SHIT TON of studying to do today and all I want to do is like anything but.  

Also I have learned something major about myself.  I want to snack all night long.  Like, I knew that, but last night it became was too clear.  For my protein last night I had shrimp instead of “meat” and 160ish calories of shrimp is a lot.  As I was cooking it and plating it I was like damn this is really a lot.  So dinner was a lot of shrimp, a cup of green beans, a kiwi, an orange, and then yogurt or later.  I wasn’t stuffed after dinner but I was fine and literally the moment I was don’t my brain went into scavenging mode.  Like, my food had not even registered in my stomach yet and I was already feeling the panic of wanting to run in my room and snack on my raisinettes and cook popcorn a snack on that but not being “allowed to” it was so weird.  I was like logically, I just at and physically I’m not even hungry, but every part of my wants to go snack right now.  That really opened my eyes.  I need to just NOT EAT after dinner because I don’t need to at all and I don’t know if its just habit or what but my brain last night really freaked me out with those desires.

Anyway, on to today.  I way overslept and missed lab and my first class.  I really need to study but I just have no desire.  I guess I will hunker down after my class at 1 if I even go to that class.

Breakfast was 1 slice of toast (45), 4 egg whites (70 - subbed for 1 egg), and a kiwi (40 - subbed for 1/2 a banana), and some coffee (35) - 190

Lunch is supposed to be 1 cup of cottage cheese, 65 calories of crackers, and an egg.  So that will be fine because I hardboiled some eggs last night.  I might just do two whites and a tiny bit of yolk instead of one whole egg cause I’m not so hot on egg yolks.

Dinner will be 2 (turkey) hotdogs, a cup of broccoli, 1/2 cup carrots, 1 kiwi, and a thing of yogurt.  I am gonna save the kiwi and yogurt for like very last before I go to bed I think.  We’ll see.  I am gonna try to stick very specifically with just this today.

Military Diet Day 1

Ok, so I went ahead and decided to start the military diet today because I just happen to have all the ingredients and also because I pulled an all nighter last night by accident so I was already up to make breakfast and prep and pack lunch.  Hopefully that will actually make me go to bed early-ish tonight which will in turn hopefully allow me to get up early enough to continue it tomorrow and Wednesday.

Breakfast this morning I posted earlier - it was 1/2 a grapefruit (35), one piece of toast (45), 2 tbsp no sugar added PB (210), and some coffee (35) = 325 

Lunch was - 1 slice toast (45), about 3 oz grouper (I subbed this for 1/2 c tuna, just cooked with pepper, onion powder, and lemon juice - 80), and a strawberry oatmeal bar (I made these on Saturday and I really don’t want to waste them all so I let myself have this additionally as a snack since they have natural sugar only and no fat - 125)  = 250

Now I am sitting on campus studying waiting for my roommate to get out of class.  We are going to run by the store so I can get yogurt to have in place of the ice cream tonight since I am really not into ice cream and it feels too unhealthy for me during this diet anyway.

Dinner will be 3 oz of meat (probably ham lunch meat honestly unless there is some good looking steak at the store), 1 cup of green beans, 1 kiwi (subbing for 1/2 banana since I don’t do bananas), 1 orange (subbing for 1 apple since I don’t have any), and 1 cup yogurt (subbing for ice cream because no).  The substiutions page basically just says pick something similar with the SAME calories.  So I have like 200 calories from my ice cream to play with... I will probably do yogurt just to stay similar but I might do cottage cheese instead.  We’ll see about that.  Anyway, dinner will be 150+25+45+65+80 = 365ish if I do yogurt.  Might also grab a Mrs. Dash type of thing to season all this stuff.

I am definitely hungry and probably way too excited for dinner.  I would happily go buy a snack right now if I would let myself, but I’m not.  I’m gonna try to stick it out especially since I don’t know how much of that feeling is actual hungry and how much is just like tingly feeling weirdness from not sleeping in like over 24 hours.

I didn’t weigh myself this morning so I am gonna just assume my start weight was what I weighed a week or so ago since I haven’t actually been trying since then.  Pretty excited to see how much I am on Thursday.  If this works well I might do it like once a week or once-ish a week til I get home.  Like 3 days on 2 days off and rotate.  I would do just one day off but I think I need more than one day off to be sane.  Maybe one day on, one day healthy eating back and forth and then one day a week just no counting calories at all.  Or 3 days military, 3 days just healthy eating, 1 day off.  IDK we’ll see how it goes.  I definitely need some type of system because I feel so much more purposeful and am more successful when I have something set in stone that I’m sticking to.
