So I finally decided to put down the fork! Hehehe
I kept wanting to lose weight but just kept saying it and not actually doing it. I'm not overweight but I'm on the borderline of being overweight. I'm 5'2 1/2 was weighting in at 136 pds not the best weight to be at for my height as per this chart: (doesn't she make you want to work the weight off!!) hehe
I was using a S/M in shirts but going into a size 5/6 in jeans. My thigh are getting really thick which isn't a bad thing tho ha ha. But my belly's gut was not being controlled I was almost flat belly girl until my baby girl decided to surprise us by coming this world.
So I found this website that gave a 3 Days diet (supposedly military diet) and you can lose up to 10 pds in 3 days if you follow it correctly of course!!! NO CHEATING!!!!!
So I'm going to share my experiences on this diet. Today is my normal eating day so I'll let you know everything about it!!! I was able to finish the 3-day diet to the end no cheating at all. Well just about nothing if you don't count taste lol. Day ONE I weight in right before getting dressed for work of course I weight in at 134.8 pds because in the morning you don't have nothing in your stomach & you haven't ate. But during the day I'm always at 136 pds I even weighted in one day at 138 that's when i decided that's it I'm doing this diet!!!!

| Day ONE: MORNING |
Day ONE was tough but I stayed strong with hunger and everything. It's no joke I swear! You'll be hungry but you have to stay strong or else it's not worth it. Even losing 3 pds in this 3-days diet is a great improving. I maybe would had lost 10 pds if I had time to go to the gym but being a full-time worker then a full-time mom doesn't help you. My daughter only 1 so I can place her in the child care in my gym yet.
Day ONE: Breakfast
Breakfast--1/2 Grapefruit, 1 Slice of Toast, 2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter, and Coffee or Tea
Ughhhh... Grapefruit not my thing at all. yes it's half the fruit! It taste like a orange at the first bite until the after taste of bitter. I only did half of a half grapefruit it has a lot of juice! I did a whole wheat toast and throw the PB on top wooooooo..... I like PB but it's just too much.I took tea since I can't do black coffee. I did a vanilla chi tea. HORRIBLE!!! It just tasted like hot water. ewwwww. That one off my list of teas to try. It was my first tea too.
Day ONE:
Lunch--1/2 Cup of Tuna, 1 Slice of Toast, and Coffee or Tea (any brew, as long as it's caffeinated)
1/2 cup of tuna equal a can of tuna. My mom put too much mayo tho! But I ate one with toast then finish the rest by it's self and drank a chocolate tea a friend gave me a while back to try. It's was okay. I guess tea is just not my thing.
Dinner--3 ounces of any type of meat, 1 Cup of Green Beans, 1/2 Banana, 1 Small Apple, and 1 Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream (YUM)!!!
 |
| Was too hungry & forgot to take a picture of before. |
My favorite meal of all day! I did a 3 oz steak cooked it with green beans to give it some flavor. Green Beans never tried it to this day! the banana was like heaven to my mouth and the apple was just a apple & the ice cream YUMMMMYYYY! I did Vanilla Bean. By the end of the day I was okay weight myself before going to bed yes I was at 135 pds.
 |
| DAY ONE: NIGHT |
DAY TWO:
I weight in at 132.0 Big difference from the night before 3 pds down over night.
 |
| DAY TWO: MORNING |
Breakfast--1 egg, 1 Slice of Toast, and 1/2 Banana
I had a sunside up egg & fold the toast around & just went along with my day to work with my half banana. The more you're in this the less food it gives you! smh. I just wanted to die!!!
Lunch--1 Cup of Cottage Cheese (Or 1 Slice of Cheddar Cheese), 1 Hard Boiled Egg, and 5 Saltine Crackers
I did the Cheddar Cheese the hard boiled eggs and four crackers lol i didn't have five since I only had two packets of those cracker.
Dinner--2 Hot Dogs, (no buns), 1 Cup of Broccoli, 1/2 Cup of Carrots, 1/2 Banana, and 1/2 Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream
I throw the hot dogs in with the carrots, cause I personally don't like carrots.I had chicken hot dog not mixed meat hot dogs. Later I'll explain.
Day two was hard as well when I had to pick up foods for other people and smell foods and my mo decided to cook one of my favorite meals. But kept strong and not break my diet cause I really wanna lose that weight. I did weight myself at the end of the night and I came in at 132.2 pds meaning I didn't gain much from what I have ate during the day it wasn't like i had much anyway!! lol so I was glad :)
 |
| DAY TWO: NIGHT |
DAY THREE:
I weighted myself in at 131.2 just one pds. I wasn't too happy but at least it was working for me.
 |
| DAY THREE: MORNING |
Breakfast--5 Saltine Crackers, 1 Slice of Cheddar Cheese, and 1 Small Apple
I did go buy Saltine crackers the day before so I go to eat 5 crackers The same amount of cheese as the picture above. (yes that's a slice, I'll also explain why later on) and another apple.
Lunch-1 Hard-Boiled Egg, and 1 Slice of Toast
Another boiled Egg and whole wheat toast of course! as you can see an egg is a good part of your diet. The third day was easier to tell you the truth. I guess what you're training your body to eat less and feel fuller and to be honest I wasn't full but I wasn't hungry.
Dinner--1 Cup of Tuna, 1/2 of a Banana, and 1 Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream
 |
| Another half done meal |
1 Cup of tuna = two cans seem like a lot right. I don't know but that's what it required so I did it with a little bit of mayo and some lemon juice squeezed on top to give it a touch. Boy did I enjoy those ice cream every night. I decided to continue it lol.

DAY 4:
I weight myself at was happy to see I was under 130 pds.
I ate a normal meal. Breakfast was a egg sandwich with a small coffee and Lunch I order and Whole Wheat Wrap with chicken and turkey Lettuce, Tomato & Mayo. smh I didn't finish the whole thing and then I found myself doing what I usually do push it in. I had to stop myself and save it for later. smh I was so stuffed it bothered me at work all day, the wrap was amazing but I couldn't finish it. I finish it later on with my baby girl for dinner, but I'm going to continue trying to watch my weight and hopefully start the gym next week with a friend. Wish me luck!
