Nata's Phase 1 Journal / Start: 3 Feb 08
| Sun, 02-03-2008 - 8:40am |
Today is my official start on SB. I have tried a bit of it last week (couldn't wait) and it felt really fantastic! I celebrated my birthday yesterday with a wonderful cake and wine and now starting Phase 1.
My start weight is 137 lbs and my goal weight is 119 lbs, so I need to lose 18 lbs.
I have never been too big, have always been normal at school, then I moved from my parents and gained weight (restaurant food and lack of cooking experience) so I got to my maximum weight (146 lbs) then. After that I moved in with my boyfriend and he loves to cook and always makes healthy food, so my weight went down and stayed at 128 lbs for a long time. Then I quit smoking and gained weight (ate too much chocolate) to my current weight. It's already around 3 years I have been 137 lbs and I am tired of that!
I have never really dieted and have always eaten healthy enough but would eat too much of it and eat cookies or chips sometimes. I don't like sweet food, but I need to stop my overeating habit.
So today is my first day on phase 1, in this journal I will write down what I have been eating and weight myself every week (or maybe every second week - will see how it feels).

I am really enjoying the SB (don't want to call it a diet either) even now, when it's phase 1.
My only problem has always been not being able to stay on track for a significant weight loss and I would disappoint myself. I am really determined now and hoping to remain focused on the goal until I get it.
Wishing you good luck too! :)
I have been there once - my lowest was 115 but I wasn't healthy then and only when I put a bit on and at 119 I was in my best condition. That's why this is my goal. Well, of course that weight was based on a totally untrained body, and I still don't train. That means that if I train more this time and attain some muscle, then I'll allow a couple of pounds show - 120-121 is ok for me too.
It's very exciting how it will go, because we started almost the same day :)
Today is day 7
I'm at 133 lbs
Breakfast: slept over
A.M.Snack: almonds (15)
Lunch: meatballs from yesterday with a salad (lettuce, rocket, tomatoes, cucumbers)
P.M.Snack: cottage cheese 2% with tomatoes and dill
Dinner: the rest of meatballs (made so many yesterday!) with cooked vegetables
Dessert: a glass of milk 0,1%
We went to the cinema yesterday and I took my milk with me - it was quite funny - I was probably the only one drinking milk there :))))))))))))))
Weight: 132
Breakfast: slept over
A.M.Snack: pistachios (30)
Lunch: tuna from a can with a big salad
P.M.Snack: cottage cheese 1,5% with tomatoes
Dinner: fish with cabbage (sauteed) and tomato
Dessert: a glass of milk 0,5%
Day 9
Weight 132
Breakfast: two boiled eggs with celery (I need to do some grocery shopping!)
A.M.Snack: almonds (15)
Lunch: meatball with tomato, cucumber and rocket salad.
P.M.Snack: Cottage cheese 1,5% with tomatoes, lettuce and dill
Dinner: boiled chicken filet with cauliflower and eggplant - it was so tasty!!!
Dessert: a glass of milk 0,1%
Well, I noticed that I start missing fruit and grains.. I have bought a pack of crispy breads for phase 2, don't know really if they are allowed (attaching a picture). Looking forward to eat it with some cheese on top! :)
I was also thinking about fruit and especially the contents of fructose in fruits. I was just wondering if there was a list for that on the internet? Could find some, but they vary so much that I can't trust them..
The bread: it says there's 3,5 g fibre, 50 calories and 0,5 fat in each slice. I wonder if it's ok?----------------------------------------------------

Wasa crackers are fine.
Cathy, thank you very much!
I was especially thinking about fructose content in fruit - it's obvious that there's more fructose in a banana than in a grapefruit. I was thinking that it would be useful to start with fruits with less fructose and then carefully try other fruits. I am just guessing that it could be more "safe".
