Back in the Saddle!
Well, that willpower was short-lived. BUT I'M BACK!
In my absence, I have managed to forgo any and all appearances of healthiness in favor of being a chubby stressball with Cheeto-stained fingers. Eff. I was fast-approaching my highest weight ever.
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend (who, like me, also packed on some law school related pounds) started doing Herbal Life. I decided to give it a try this month. I need to do something. Fo real. This is Day 3. So far, I'm craving EVERYTHING but these damn shakes. But I'm working on getting creative with my shake recipes. Best so far:
PB & Banana
2 scoops vanilla Formula 1
2 scoops protein powder
1 tsp Better Than Peanut Butter (if you haven't tried this & like peanut butter, it is a MUST)
1/3 frozen banana
1 tsp butter flavoring (baking aisle)
1 tsp butterscotch pudding (dry mix)
1 cup ice
1 cup water
BLEND. Drink. Savor.
It's about 250 calories and 27 grams of protein. It's my favorite shake so far.
So, my starting weight this time was around 156.5 & BMI was like 29.5 Holy lord. At least there is a lot of room for improvement.
My new daily plan: 2 shakes. 1 healthy meal. 2 health snacks. 100 oz water. For meals, I'm trying to keep a 10 cal to 1 g protein rule. Tricky, but I think I can do it. Thank god I'm a carnivore. Also, I plan on using the following websites heavily:

That is all. Tomorrow, I will actually write my food logs for the first few days.

Food Diary 1/18/12: 22 Points
- 3 egg whites (1)
- 1/2 Trader Joe's Chicken Sausage (1.5)
- Apple (1)
- 1/2 Lg. Caribou Black Chai Tea Latte "Lite" (2)
- Hungry Girl Alfredo: 1 bag shirataki fettuccine (0), 6-7 jumbo shrimp (2), 1 t light sour cream, 2 T ff cream cheese, 1 t parmesan (1.5), 5 mushrooms (0)
- 1 c. black tea (0)
- 1/2 c. fiber 1 pancake mix (3), 1/8 c. light syrup (1)
- 1/8 c. Trader Joe's Powerberries (2).
Total WW Points Used: 15
Water: 8 cups
Exercise: 60 minutes zumba (+6 points)
Today was a pretty good first day. I didn't drink enough water, but I feel pretty good about my food decisions. I'll have to make sure I use all my points tomorrow, though. I discovered that shirataki noodles are the best things ever. I will absolutely make the hungry girl alfredo again! Also, TJ Powerberries are a delicious dessert. You don't need many; they are tart, sweet, and satisfying. Great end to the day. I'm proud that I made it through zumba: I thought that visiting instructor was literally going to kill me. But the 50ish woman behind me made me keep going. To quit before her would have been too much public shame to bear.

Hungry Girl Fettuccine Alfredo - I'm never eating regular Italian again!
Even though I'm trying to lose weight, I need to eat. A lot. My mom recommended I try this recipe she heard about on hungry girl. AMAZING. I am truly not eating regular alfredo again. Plus, I'm STUFFED. You definitely have to take some time working with the Shirataki noodles; otherwise, they taste funky. Here is the link to her online recipe.
I changed it up a little bit by using the recipe on the bag & adding my own twist:
Sauce:
2 T fat free cream cheese
1 t low fat sour cream
1 t shredded parmesan cheese
LOTS of salt and pepper (mostly pepper)
6-7 drops sriracha hot sauce
Extras:
Sauteed 5 mushrooms and 7 jumbo shrimp in a pan with 2 T minced garlic, salt, & pepper. Then I added the noodles and sauce and heated for 2-3 minutes.
WW Points (old): 4 points
Yummo.
