Mamavation Monday

Today is my 15th day of the Fat Smash Diet. After the first 9 days, I was able to add meat protein back into my diet in two small 4oz portions each day. On the tenth day I indulged in a Turkey Iceburger (a turkey burger sandwiched between two pieces of lettuce instead of a bun) from Mooyah, which was pretty much the best thing ever. Well it was, at least until the next day when I dipped my celery and carrots in some guacamole from Chipotle. |
I’ve been enjoying the variety and have been changing things up a little bit. For the most part I am still eating mostly fruits and veggies, but a few times a week I bring a pouch of tuna to eat at lunchtime. We have also continued to work in the soy protein patties at dinner because Morning Star makes some good options that taste pretty darn delicious. We like the riblets best. I’ve been sticking with my All Whites Eggs on the weekend with sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers, and added cottage cheese with fruit and light yogurt back into my diet a few days a week. When I get hungry between meals, I snack on a few cashews and a small glass of 100% juice.
I am also getting in all of my water on most days. It is harder on the weekend when I sleep in, and I also had Jury Duty last week and cut back that day so that I wasn’t having to run to the restroom every two minutes. I made up for what I missed later that night. I also accomplished my goal of working out 5 days last week for 30-40 minutes.
Confessions: I have done everything almost to the letter. However, Nikki and I went out on Saturday night to play bingo and they passed out two free shots. They were small (and I have no idea what was in them), but I drank them. So that was my slip up this week.
Results: I honestly can’t tell a difference in how my clothes are fitting or how I look, but on Saturday the Wii Fit said I had lost about 10 pounds. That is a big accomplishment if you know how hard it is for me to lose. A lot of it may also be water weight. When I got back on the Wii Fit on Sunday, it said that I had gained 2 pounds back. The difference could have been the alcohol, or that I worked out in the afternoon Saturday and in the evening on Sunday. Still, I’m not getting discouraged. I know I can’t always be perfect, and as long as I get right back on and continue with what I am suppose to be doing, hopefully I will continue to see a positive difference. I noticed that I am feeling better overall regardless of any weight differences, so that is reason enough all by itself to keep going.
Today I have an ultrasound of my thyroid to examine the nodules that were previously benign when checked over five years ago. Hopefully that is still the case.
Looking forward to a successful third week. What tips or tricks are you doing this week that could help me out? Good luck to everyone!

Posted by: shawnWhat’s the Fat Smash Diet?
My biggest advice is to not be so hard on yourself. Work in a cheat meal or treat if you feel you need it so that something small like those shots don’t seem like a slip-up. You will be more apt to keep motivated if this is more like a lifestyle you can see yourself carrying for the rest of your life.
Posted by: kiaGreat job on the weight loss. you will start to notice a difference in your clothes in no time.
Posted by: JustTracyB.comI ALWAYS weigh more the day after I drink. I think your body gets dehydrated and then keeps all the fluid instead of releasing it. That’s my best guess. But props on the 10 lbs. weight loss!!!
Posted by: Leah @BookiebooCongrats on the 10 lbs lost! You are doing a great job eating healthy. There will be slip ups every now and then so don’t beat yourself up. Keep up with the good work! — @ImAHotMom
