1 month down

One month down and it hasn't been easy.  I went to the dr.'s to see if I had to see if I had a sinus infection.  I didn't have one, but she put me on some steroids to help drain any fluid behind my ears.  I didn't realize it, but it put me out of fat burning mode, so I have become really hungry and ready to give up.  Rochelle has been awesome and trying to make it easier on me.  She put me on the 4&2, which didn't help, then we tried the 3&3.  I was only it on it for one day before we headed up to a family reunion.  I didn't stick to all the rules, but thurs. I had the right breakfast, lunch subway.  I had  a foot long chicken breast sandwich, with a lot of veggies, no dressing, on a 9 grain bread (the bread is not on the plan).  I had my MF meals in between.   For dinner I didn't do so well.  We had pizza, I did go for the garlic chicken (big slice), 1 supreme (small slice) and stuffed cowboy (1/2 small slice).  I did have salad.  For Friday we had overnight crock pot French toast.  I made with 1/2 whole eggs and 1/2 just egg whites, then with almond milk.  I did make me some cooked spinach.  Trying real hard to stick as close to the plan as possible.  Lunch we sandwiches, I put a lot of meat and had it on a wheat flat bread.  Still drinking water with each meal and having a MF meal in between.  I have stayed away from fruit, chips and sugary stuff.  For dinner I had a 2 chicken brauts with mozzarella cheese and artichokes, and 3 cups of salad (on the plan, I measured my meat to equal 6 oz).  Doing really good.  I did have a fat boy ice cream sandwich.  So far, my only sugar.  Sat.  they fixed eggs, sausage, and toast.  This is when I started not to do so good and slowly crept further away from the plan.  I only had a small amount of eggs, 2 sausages, and one piece of toast.  Lunch was another sandwich day, still drinking my water and eating a MF meal in between.  Dinner was tacos, only had 1 1/2, trying to get my protein in.  Didn't get the greens I needed to.  Sunday was a flop.  Had cereal for breakfast, MF meal, Arby's chicken, bacon sandwich with jalapenos bites, 4 chip ahoy cookies, 1/2 the water I needed to for the day so far.  Had another MF meal, then cereal for dinner.  I did have almond milk with it.  I am just glad that the family reunion wasn't any longer.  Now back to sticking with the plan.  Hopefully by next week the steroids will be out of my system and I can get back in fat burning mode.  I think since I was out of fat burning mode, I didn't stay all the way on the plan, and I didn't want to get depressed on not able to eat what everyone else was having. I am just funny that way.  I do want this weight to come off and look forward to seeing what it is like to be in fat burning mode.  Too not be hungry and have energy.  I got on the steroids to early in the program to feel completely in fat burning mode.  So now is the time to see how much I weigh and what my inches are and my beautiful picture.  I gained 2 lbs. over the weekend, but not bad for taking a little break.

Not to bad for the first month.  Here's hoping for a better 2nd month.
