Day 08 – Wednesday

Weight
My weight this morning: 75.7 kg = 166.88 pounds
I gained +0,2kg since yesterday :(

Weight Day 07: 75.5 kg = 166.44 pounds
Day 01: 77.5 kg (at 173cm) = 170.85 pounds (at 5,67feet)

Breakfast
In the mornig I ate 1 pear and 1 kaki (japanese persimmon). Then I had a long dentist’s appointment from 9.00 till 11.30. Afterwards I ate another kaki.

Lunch
2 whole-grain rolls with butter

2 hours later: a big salad consisting of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes

Day 1:
Weight: 170
Unfortunately for me, I started the diet in the middle of a cold. Or maybe that’s fortunate. I’ve had a headache all day but it’s hard to pinpoint if it’s the lack of the caffeine that’s usually present or the sickness. Either way, hello Advil.
BREAKFAST:
In the morning I juiced an orange, apple, carrot and celery. All one each. It was surprisingly tasty. Before I left for work I ate an orange.
LUNCH:
At work I had:
- 1 carrot
- 2 celery stalks
- handful of almonds
- handful of sunflower seeds
- persian cucumber
- handful of grape tomatoes.
I was basically grazing the whole time at work. Everything was pretty bland but hey, that’s what I signed up for.  But by the time I left I was already starving for dinner.
DINNER:
I was less than a day in at this point and ready to eat my neighbors cat for it’s meat. Luckily I remembered Nicki made a kick ass salad dressing just for me and it was sitting in the fridge. No cat tonight. Here’s what I prepare:
- Salad consisting of lettuce, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, sunflower seeds, quinoa, in a apple cider vinegar/garlic/sun dried tomato dressing. It was good.
- I also made a quick side dish of half a cucumber and bell pepper that was left over from the salad. I put some lemon and sea salt and called it an “apet-teaser.”
- For dessert I had a handful of trailmix and watermelon.
Day one in the bag. No big deal. So you eat fruit and vegetables all day. Anyone can do that. Well, easier said than done.

Dinner (before 7pm)
Raw vegetables

Activity

2x 20 min fast walk in the morning and evening


Summary

Since I gained a bit weight again – UFFFFFF – I think I will not eat any fruit in the evening. Since two days I have been drinking apple/banana shakes and eating the rest of my fruits in the evening. My weight has stayed the same the first day and on the second day it has even increased even though the total calories have been really low. So much for counting calories! Maybe the banana has too much carbohydrates or my stomach wasn’t completely empty or I don’t know.

Well, the first couple of days I have only had salad or vegetables in the evening and I was losing weight. So I will do that again, it seemed to have worked fine.
Other than this small fallback the 70%-30% method works out fine for me. I’m still motivated AND I will be even more motivated when I weigh myself tomorrow morning after having just had vegetables in the evening to find a number below 75.7. If not, i can’t guarantee for anything ;) .

See ya tomorrow!
