Im a little late but here are the best photos from the month of October!
Day 21 on the Fast Metabolism Diet 5 19 13
Its day 21 - woohoo! I am truly counting down the days now. Dont get me wrong, this has been a wonderful learning experience that I plan to incorporate into my life, but I just want to have some frozen yogurt with cookie dough! Im looking forward to Monday, May 27th, but not looking forward to the stomach ache Ill have that very next day LOL! I will try my best to eat in moderation on the 27th, but it is not guaranteed! And then, back on the plan - eating clean and often throughout the day, working out and having a little treat every once in awhile!
Sundays are when I run to the store for the weeks groceries. Im getting better at having various foods in the house at all times and I have a better handle of what we need for the recipes. One irritation I continue to have is the limitation of foods at the grocery stores in the suburbs! Super Target is getting better with their variety of organic foods, but there is not a single sprouted grain tortilla in this burb! Ill make another trip out to the co-op later this week so we are prepared for next weekend - though Im unsure how much more of avocado quesadilla everyone will be up for! It is good though! And, I want to pick up some almond flour as Ive acquired a few gluten free baking recipes I want to try out in a couple weeks, when I plan to add sugar (or honey) back into my diet.

Kiana: 152.4 lbs

Day 19 on the Fast Metabolism Diet 5 17 13
Oops, I missed a few days here of posts, so here I go.
Today, the hubby and I were off of work for my daughters dance competition. The day worked out pretty nice - after breakfast my sister came over and we did the P90X yoga video. I then made up snacks for us to have during the competition and we literally ate lunch right before walking out the door. After the competition and awards, we stopped at Panera and Subway for salads and subs for the kiddos. While the diet may seem very labor intensive with having to make food at home most of the time, it is nice to stop and have it prepared by someone else. And I love that Panera uses antibiotic free chicken and has really tasty balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
I think the best quote Ive heard while on this diet was from my son about the avocado quesadillas - "mom, these are the best thing Ive ever ate! Well, except for chocolate because that is my favorite!" Love that kid!
Morning Weigh In:
Kiana: 152.2 lbs
Anthony: 244.2 lbs
Menu:
Breakfast @ 7:30am:
Eggs benedict
Snack @ 10:30am:
Carrots and hummus
Lunch @ 1:30pm:
Avocado quesadilla
Snack @ 4:30pm:
Carrots and raw sunflower seeds
Dinner @ 7:30pm:
Panera salad
Workout:
P90X Yoga DVD
Notes on Food:
I made eggs benedict for the first time in my life and I think it turned out pretty good. I received the recipe from the Haylie Pomroys email subscription. I didnt care for the taste of the hollandaise sauce so I omitted it. It was the first time I had poached in egg (I found a wonderful tutorial online) and they turned out great. I used a brown rice english muffin (shh...were not supposed to have brown rice today - oops!), turkey bacon, steamed spinach and the poached egg. Very good!

Week 19 Weigh In Results
So, I admit it... Ive been procrastinating on writing this weekends weigh-in results because they were a bit disappointing. I ended up gaining 1/2 lb total even though I lost 1/2 lb of fat and gained 1 lb of muscle. So it wasnt a total "loss" but I wasnt terribly happy with myself. Too many weak moments last week combined with a wedding, Fathers Day and a grilled cheese sandwich that I just had to have meant a disappointing weigh-in.
So this week Im really trying my best to stick with the plan. No extra grapes. No extra almonds. No "invisible" cheese shared with the dog so hell come in from the backyard. Just what Im allowed, plus some sugar-free popsicles to keep me from going bonkers.
Ive still got a long way to go before I reach my ultimate goal of 135 lbs BUT Im still down 52.5 lbs total and feeling good about that so maybe this week I can get a little closer by being more strict with myself.
Here are some recent photos of me from before the wedding I went to on June 16th:
