Day 3 was a slight improvement. I managed to have 2 softboiled eggs for breakfast. I love eggs so this was a nice treat. Before I slept the night before, I was already imagining eggs for breakfast which motivates me to wake up earlier in the morning. Food has such a powerful impact on me I suppose.
Lunch was another piece of roasted chicken. I realize I haven't been craving for carbs that much, occasionally I do wish for a bite of potato chips or fries but I thought I would save that for cheat day. For dinner, I had a mix grill of beef and seafood. I really appreciate that my family was supportive enough to have a simple grill dinner without carbs though we do have corn and we use a lot of butter. We also have a large serving of greens with my favourite japanese wafu dressing. Because dinner was so good, carbs was the last thing on my mind.
Another wet morning, which means another late morning which means no breakfast again. I really really really got to have the habit of getting up earlier. Waking up in the wee hours of morning is a real challenge as I am not a morning person at all though I do admire and aspire to be one of those early risers who wakes up do their workouts, eats their breakfast and plan for the day right.
For now, I am just not one of those. And this is not an early morning challenge though I will get to that soon. Not today it seems.
Lunch, is yesterday's chicken. I had half a chicken this time and because the sun was starting to come up I really do not want to walk out in the hot afternoon sun to get food. Also, protein is not cheap except maybe for eggs and I budget not to spend more that $10 a day for meals.
I do not seem to crave for carbs as yet but it is important that you pace your meals so you don't get overly hungry and when that happens you tend to want to eat anything on sight. It is not a matter of will power, it is a matter of physics I suppose, our body needs fuel.
I don't seem to post yesterday's meal so here it is today.
I won't be posting today's meal since it is pretty much the same. I was out of ACT energy drink so I only had BodyTrim in the evening. I don't see any difference in my weight as yet but it has just been a day so I suppose I'll take a week before my next weigh in.
So today I manage to squeeze in a little bit of exercises in the evening. I just recently purchase a pole for pole dancing. I find it to be quite fun, I hate exercises that are repetitive, it bores me. So last night I signed up for an online pole dancing lessons at studioveena.com. That way, I have the privacy, comfort and convenience of home to brush up on my pole and fitness. I will probably share my progress on the pole as I go along.
Here's just briefly of what kind of exercises I did today with a little bit more pole work.
This post is long overdue so today of all days I decided to just get on it.
Here goes, I am doing the 4hr Body no carbs for the next 30 days. I didn’t do any preparation nor was I prepared mentally. I figured if I am going to stick to this kind of eating into a lifestyle then it should be an easy and relatively simple to do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t stick with it.
I woke up late this morning so I had to rush to get to work. Which means, no breakfast. Tim Ferris suggests having breakfast half hour after you get up. Time which I do not have. So that’s the first mistake I made (actually the fact that I didn’t plan for this means I plan to fail but I am determined to prove that wrong heh.)
So no breakfast, I started off with a ACT energy drink when I got to the office. I was trying to wean off coffee and I needed a kickstart so ACT energy drink was perfect.
Lunch was a challenge. It was so hard to get a decent carb -free lunch. Rice and noodles are staples even bread so I decided to shop at Cold Storage to see if I can get some salad mix or whatever.
Cold Storage usually has some variety of choices where fresh produce are concern but the branch at China Square was deeply disappointing. Their salad mix was expensive it’s almost $8 for a single serving and you had to mix it up yourself, no dressing. The fact that there is no cooking involved, I just don’t’ understand why healthier food choices are more expensive than junk food. You can get 2 plates of chicken rice or a plate of steak for $8 here. I decided not to get the salad only because I know if I took the time to plan and prepare, it would have been way cheaper with healthier dressing.
I decided to go for the roasted chicken from the deli for $7.60 and a pack of banana which I only then realize that part of the slow carb diet was that there should be absolutely not fruits heh. The entire chicken means I can have spread it out for 3 or 4 meals which is in line with the rule of “eating the same thing over and over again”. I had the deli lady cut in quarters for me. After 1 quarter of the chicken and 2 bananas, I am stuffed. I don’t know why as I was previously quite famished. The rest of the chicken I kept it in the fridge, I figured if I am hungry for dinner I can reheat it up again or snack on the bananas. I did however drank BodyTrim before I go to sleep just so I don't wake up in the middle of the night hungry and snacking.
What I love about the Tim Ferris Slow Carb diet is that you can possibly lose 20 pounds in 30 days without exercising. I love this! So while I do not rule out exercise in this challenge (I will include those exercises as I go along) it is less pressure for me to make exercise a priority everyday. Everyday for the next 30 days its just no white carbs, no fruit and lots of water which I think I can handle.
