I am no good at keeping a blog. Well, not good at keeping a daily account of my meals. Not gonna worry about that though.

How many people are feeling frustrated? I mean you start out to lose weight and it seems like you keep at it forever and for what? In a month you lose 5lbs?! I am sick of busting my ass but not having it get any smaller. Now I have seen, online, a couple of projects involving taking a daily picture. Some of them are of women who are pregnant, some are of people losing weight, and another is of a guy who decides to lose fat and build up muscle. I was thinking that maybe I will do the same. My Mom says she can see a difference from when I moved here last month, but I can't. Maybe I'd see it too if I had taken a picture a day. Either way it would be easier to see the changes myself.

I have got to exercise, am going to Flushing,NY tomorrow and it will be another day of no exercise so I better do some today.

Good news, I lost 4lbs more. And I have added a recent picture of myself(I took it about 3 weeks ago). Hello! :p

My menu lately:

B: 1 banana coffee w/ van soymilk(I never add sugar)
L: Rice, soup, kimchi
S: Jello fruit cup or yogurt and banana(but I don't always have a snack at this time)
D: Rice, meat, kimchi, veggie
Sometimes I end up having a small snack after dinner, like a small cube of cheese or a fruit. My Mom will usually have something and gives me some, so that is why I don't have a set type of snack. Sometimes it is a piece of toast. This is well within the not eating 4hrs before bed rule.

I need to drink more water, I have been having unsweetened room temp green tea. Can't get myself to drink more than one large mug of water. I also take one tablet of zinc and 3 capsules of fish oil(1 at each meal), but this is more for my skin. I read zinc and fish oil could help clear it up and keep it that way.

And I have been exercising daily. I probably won't on Christmas since I have to cook and have stuff to do.

[SIZE=1]Im going to try this diet plan and if so far i seeing any difference, im going to keep this up.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]Will start first thing tmr. Wish me luck.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=1]I will of course update about the progress regularly for my own benefit.;)[/SIZE]

So i discovered about this banana diet like a few days ago and i decided to try it just cause i feel like it. I keep fantasizing about having a slim body like those models out there. So here i am blogging about my recently diet progamme. :D
Hmm, i will start first thing tomorrow.

Breakfast: Bananas.
Lunch: sandwich from 7eleven or maybe CHEERS.
Dinner: hmm,:confused:. self-made sandwiches??

Will update about the progress soon. ;)

Okay, I have not been doing much of the Nutrisystem(we are waiting for a food delivery). Bananas disappear too fast in this house, but I manage to get one in the morning. I have been rowing 20-30 minutes almost daily and eating small portions of food. I think what has helped the most is the fact that 1. No fast food and 2. No snacking on cookies or chips all day. The second one was because there were always snacks around at work. Now that I am not at work I am not nibbling all day on junk.

Here is a typical day since I moved

8 or 9AM : 1 banana and vitamins. Coffee with soymilk

11AM: row for 20-30 minutes. Maybe do a little on the pilates machine or ab lounger.

Noon: lunch of rice and soup or
a nutrisystem meal or
1 yogurt with a banana mixed in.

2 or 3PM: Snack of jello cup with fruit or
piece of fruit or
something sweet or
more coffee and a plain biscotti

5PM: nutrisystem meal or
rice, kimchi, veggies, and a meat or
a sandwich

I've gone down 2 more pounds and now weigh in at 158.8. That is only two pounds since my last entry 24 days ago, but I had a little setback over Thanksgiving.

I've probably also eaten more sweets than I should have due to the Christmas holidays.

What is impressive though, is that no other "diet plan" has worked this easily for me. I've usually lost like 3 or 4 lbs., gained them back and then lost them again. I haven't bought new pants yet but I have noticed that my "muffin top" in my old pants is pretty much gone. I've also noticed that my button up shirts are not gaping between the buttons.

So...I will carry on and hope to hit the 140s sometime in January or early February.

I'm still only eating 1 banana in the morning. I am averaging exercising about 3-4 days per week.

I hope everyone else is doing well!
