The first 28 days of the Stripped diet have come and gone! I was on plan about 90% of the time with awesome results. I have to say, this is by far the easiest and most rewarding "diet" I have ever done!
Here is a rundown of my weekly weigh-ins
Starting weight: 135.8lbs (4/1/13)
Week 1 weigh in: 131.4 (net loss 4.4lbs)
Week 2 weigh in: 130.8 (net loss 0.6lbs) - TOM
Week 3 weigh in: 129.2 (net loss 1.6lbs) - early weigh in due to travel
Week 4 Final weigh in: 131.8
Total loss 4.0lbs
Week 2 was difficult because my TOM started and the week before I am always craving chocolate and sweets. Then during week 3 I was traveling to Arizona for a conference so I had to be careful with what I was eating. I did surprisingly well at the airport and the resort.
Since it was a women's conference sponsored by the fresh produce industry there were many healthy choices at the resort. I probably ate more than I would have on the Stripped plan because every day we had so many snack breaks! The problem was I drank a few beers each night. On the plane on the way home I also had a mini-binge. It was unintentional thought so let me explain!
I bought a chocolate chip cookie in the airport store thinking that would be my "dinner" on the plane since we didn't land back here until 10:30pm. As I was eating this cookie (aka the yummy devil), I read the back of the package and saw 350 calories. Ok, I thought. That is a lot of calories for one cookie but since it's my dinner it will be ok. Then I realized it was 350 calories per serving. Guess how many servings there were? 2.5! 875 calories for one cookie about 5" in diameter. Yikes! I had already eaten about a third and went on for a little bit more so I probably had a good 500 calories worth of cookie! Urgh!
I was back on Wednesday but had a dinner party in Delaware that evening (and no groceries to speak of in the house) so I decided to "wing it" Wednesday and start again Thursday. I had good intentions but I didn't exactly follow through on them.
That brings us to today and Round (what round is it now?) THREE of the Eat-Clean: Stripped diet. So here we go!
Starting weight: 131.8lbs (4/29/13)
Goal weight: 124 lbs
Goal date for goal weight: May 27th
I do have two business trips during these 28 days so I know they will be difficult (and involve drinking!) I am telling myself that if I am 100% clean for the remainder of the time, the 4 days that I am traveling will not prevent me from meeting my goal!
June is the "Month of Islands" for me with a wedding on Nantucket on the 14th and vacation in Sanibel Island at the end of the month. So it is absolutely necessary that I get down to my goal weight before June!
So today is Day One! Here is my plan for the day:
B: steel oats w/ cinnamon and 3 egg whites
S: almonds (100 calorie packs are my new best friend) and pineapple
L: spinach salad with leftover turkey breast and grape tomatoes (lemon juice for dressing)
S: 1/2 pear and mixed nuts
D: Salmon with broccolin
S: IF hungry: frozen blueberries
I plan to track daily and hopefully add pictures of my meals but don't hold me to that okay! Let me know if you are on this journey too and leave me a comment with your progress! I have a friend who is repeating the Stripped plan with me so maybe she will jump in for a guest blog one day!
Now get out there and skinny-size yourself!
