6 more weeks..

As per Punxsutawney Phil, we get to endure another 6 more weeks of cold, snowy, icy, winter. I don’t know how I feel about this. I want to say I hate it because every other day it’s snowing, hailing and brutally cold…but then the other half of me doesn’t mind it, because it gives me a little more time to get fit and lose a little more weight before spring. So what’s more important to me, being a little cold or giving myself more time to look how I want to look? I’ll take the six more weeks, thanks Phil! :) I feel like every day it’s something different with me…what I’m eating new, what I’m negating and adding to my meals and workout plans, etc. I decided I’m trying something new for the next two weeks until I go to Disney. I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Three Day Military Diet? Well. I started it yesterday and going to do it until tomorrow…and same thing next week, Mon-Wed. I’ve done it in the past and the results were outstanding…I myself am able to lose 8-9 pounds in the three day span…so if I do it a few times there will be more results and wallla…down to my ideal weight. Now it really isn’t that easy especially for us with PCOS. It takes us a lot more time to lose weight and even worse, keep the weight off. I never tried the two week in a row thing…and the 4 days after I always ate what I wanted to so I never really kept the weight off. But this time it’s different. I’m going to be strict and eat clean (like I have been for the past few weeks) and work out of the days I’m not doing the 3 day diet (because you really shouldn’t work out while doing it…you’re weak as it is so you want your body to adjust and be comfortable with eating less).

So here it is for those of you who don’t know:

Day One:

Breakfast:

  • 1 cup coffee or tea (black)
  • 1 slice whole wheat toast
  • 2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter
  • ½ grapefruit

Lunch:

  • ½ cup Tuna
  • 1 slice of whole wheat toast
  • 1 cup of coffee or tea (black)

Dinner:

  • 3oz of any meat
  • 1 cup green beans
  • ½ banana
  • 1 small apple
  • 1 cup of vanilla ice-cream

Day Two:

Breakfast:

  • 1 egg cooked however you like
  • ½ banana
  • 1 slice of whole wheat toast

 

Lunch:

  • 1 hardboiled egg
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (can substitute for plain Tuna)
  • 5 saltine crackers

Dinner:

  • 2 hot dogs (no buns)
  • ½ cup carrots
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • ½ banana
  • ½ cup vanilla ice-cream

Day Three:

Breakfast:

  • 1 small apple
  • 5 saltine crackers
  • 1 slice cheddar cheese

Lunch:

  • 1 egg (cooked however you like)
  • 1 slice whole wheat toast

Dinner:

  • 1 cup tuna (plain)
  • ½ banana
  • 1 cup vanilla ice-cream

The Rules:

  • Must not snack in between meals
  • Can only use seasonings and condiments such as: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, mustard, ketchup
  • You can save something from one meal and eat it later or as a snack. It doesn’t matter when you eat it only matters that you eat everything that’s on the menu for the three days…nothing more, nothing less. (oh and yes—you can save the ice-cream for desert!)

 

If any of you try this, please let me know how the results are! I will update you all on my progress as well.
