Well, I'm gunna do it - I'm gunna give it my all!! Last night I had a meeting/ consultation with a Ideal Protein rep close to my house. I already kinda know the gist of the program and I know that everyone that has been on the program has been successful and most important to me right now is that the results were fast! I know ... the best weight loss is slow and steady but I think I am tired of the turtle I have done that method before and yes it did work and yes it probably was easier for me to not fall back to my old methods (although it's hard to say for sure cause I got pregnant and didn't wasn't really trying to maintain). But right now, I need to see the results and I need to see them fast! I just want to get it over with and move on with life. I feel like I know the basics of maintaining, I know the basics of dieting, I just need to get the loosing part done with!! So last night, I wasn't really sure if I was going to but I liked the lady so I signed up!! :)
What does this mean? It means I have prepared myself to be in a little discomfort for the first few days, it means I have said Good-bye to my buddy "Carb" (which means no more fruit, cheese, bread, dairy, etc). It's not a forever thing ... they will come back to me eventually, just not in the quantities they are now!? For the next three(ish) months I will be living off of protein shakes and limited veggies! BUT ... in three(ish) months I will be DONE!! Done with dieting, done with feeling horrible, done with my fat pants! All I have to do is stay strong for three months!
This will be the first time I have gone on a diet and had a "coach", someone to call me and harass me. Someone to get on my case about making the right choices, someone to support me and know tricks to stay on track! I'm not entirely sure I like the idea of her calling me to make sure I haven't cheated and ask how I'm feeling but maybe that is what I need? So - I told her I will be starting Tues! She said she will be calling me Wed to see how I'm doing (which probably won't be a good day).
I hope I can do this ... I hope I can stay strong ... I hope I can stay focused and motivated to keep on track! I will be keeping all of you updated with my progress, my first weigh in will be Oct 5th! I will be hoping for a good number and I know the only way to see the big numbers will be to stay on track!! This weekend I will be saying "good-bye" to a lot of my fat friends (wine, cheese, creamer), Monday night I will do my shopping for the select veggies, I will prepare some meals (pre-cook chicken breasts for suppers so hubby doesn't have to worry about it, pre bag my veggies for lunches, etc) and Tuesday I will start! Hopefully I'm not too much of a battle axe that week!? ;)
