Hi, this is my new blog. Im trying to change my lifestyle and I'm hoping blogging about it will help. Im starting the Super Shred diet, and ill be posting all of my stuff here. If you're doing the diet also, let me know! I’ll also be posting a lot of motivation!

I really like this soup I made, so that is making this whole process go a little smoother. I'm also letting in the tinniest smidgen of oil for the roasted brussel sprouts I made last night for today's meal. Otherwise I don't think I'd make it. Feeling a little bit better on the plan. Having only 1 meal at my desk is making it much easier for me. If I have breakfast at 9 then I can have my other meal at 1 with my work friends. Otherwise I eat at my desk while I'm working, which I hate. It makes me eat breakfast later than the plan calls for, but it eases the whole plan for me.
Daily Intake:
(9:00) Meal 1 : √
1 cup cheerios and milk 1 banana
(8:30) Coffee: √
Venit Iced American with 1 packet of sugar and a little half n half
(1:00) Meal 2: √ 1 cup cabbage soup
(2:00) Snack 1: ◉ didn't plan anything and wasn't really hungry
(4:30) Meal 3: √
1 cup brown rice 1 cup roasted brussel sprouts with balsamic and onion seasoning mix (and a few sprays of olive oil)
(7:30) Snack 2: √ 2 hard-boiled eggs
Water: √ 96 oz
Exercise: √ 40 minutes bike (375 calories) + light resistance training

The plan switches up this week. Only three meals and 2 snacks, with one of those snacks being your dinner. I don't know how I'm going to like this. I made a huge batch of spicy cabbage and vegetable soup that ended up being around 700-1000 calories for the whole stock pot's worth (I just HAD to use olive oil cause the vegetables weren't breaking down and turning soft). MOST of those calories are olive oil alone! It was just a LOT of vegetables, a carton of vegetable stock, a 16 oz can of diced tomatoes and that olive oil to start.
Today wasn't too bad. Kept to the plan pretty well. I think I'm putting too many calories in my coffee but that is really all that I enjoy in a day. So to take that away from me is to kill me slowly. Also - took a rest day cause I am so tired from eating practically nothing -_-
Daily Intake:
(9:00) Meal 1 : √
1 cup of juice 1 cup cheerios and milk 1 banana
(9:30) Coffee: √
coffee with non fat milk
(12:30) Meal 2: √ 1 cup cabbage soup
(2:00) Snack 1: √
1 hard-boiled egg
(4:30) Meal 3: ◉
Salad (3 cups greens, some shredded carrots, 1/2 a tomato, a few thick slices of cucumber, 2.5-3.5 oz of salmon) with balsamic dressing (this was from Ralph's so I don't think it was fat free - we'll call this a ◉ meal)
(7:30) Snack 2: ✕ 20 wheat thins 1 triangle of French onion spreadable cheese
Water: √ 96 oz
Exercise: ◉ I used my rest day today because I could barely keep my eyes open. I'm not eating a lot in a day and it is making me very tired!
Sunday ❅ Nov. 9, 2014
Sunday’s are ‘Lunch with Dad’ days. There’s a reason I’m fat, and it comes down to being a learned, familial trait. There are other reasons of course. But my family isn’t the richest, and was poorer when I was younger. So we’re used to eating out and making sure we get our money’s worth. We’re weller off now, but that habit hasn’t left us. I planned Tender Greens for lunch though, so hopefully I can still consider it a meal from the plan.
My sister also seems determined to derail me from this diet. We live together, but she’s been at her boyfriend’s most days out of the week. Whenever she gets home, she sees it as a free for all to just binge eat. And as a binger myself, it makes it very hard not to indulge. One day last week she came home and made a whole baking sheet full of jalapeno poppers and mozzarella sticks. Today she came home with a croissant she had leftover that her boyfriend didn’t want to eat. I kept it to two bites, eating only 1/4 of it, but that’s probably a whole meals worth of calories on this plan! Then she came home late at night when I was cranky and tired with Popchips and I had too many of those! I don’t know if I should start the day over or not….
Daily Intake:
(8:00) Stupid croissant : ✕ 1/4 croissant (calorie counters say that’s 80 calories for 1/4 of a frozen Trader Joe’s croissant - I’ll just not eat another snack and call it even)
(9:30) Meal 1: √ 1 cup cooked oatmeal 1/4 cup raisins coffee with unsweetened soy milk
(2:30) Meal 2: ◉ Mediterranean Spinach Salad (cucumber, feta, kalamata olives, green peppers, marinated tomatoes, lemon oregano dressing) - 120 calories according to website’s nutrition facts (only had half - definitely doesn’t seem like 120 calories in a whole one)
(5:30) Meal 3: ◉ leftover Mediterranean Spinach Salad
(9:00) Meal 4: ◉ - 2 - 3 servings of salt and vinegar pop chips (not really a meal but I’m supposed to eat every 3-4 hours and I don’t want 2 servings of vegetables and tofu before bed)
Water: √ 64 oz
Exercise: √ 30 minutes elliptical + resistance strength training
Saturday ❅ Nov. 8, 2014
Forgot to eat a snack today so I ended up having a really late meal. This whole day was off-plan in terms of when/how much I ate, but I tried to stick to foods that I have been eating all week. Hope it didn't ruin everything! All I know is, I have NOT eaten much today so now I'm lethargic and hungry but have nothing in the house that is 'allowed'.
Daily Intake:
(9:00) Meal 1: banana 1/2 cup Cheerios with non-fat milk (ran out of Cheerios!)
(3:30) Meal 2: 1 cup grape tomatoes small Sabra hummus Lrg Iced Vanilla Latte with non-fat milk
(6:00) Meal 3: 10 wheat thins 1 triangle French onion spreadable cheese

Water: ✕ 32 oz
Exercise: √ 40 minutes incline walking + resistance strength training

Thursday ❅ Nov. 6, 2014
Thursday wasn't amazing. Skipped my last meal and ended up replacing it with some Milk Tea with boba. Oh well. I haven't calculated the amount of calories in a day for this week of the plan, but it definitely isn't much and a slip up like that doesn't phase me. I just know that next week I'll have a better understanding of the plan and be able to really stick to it.
This was the super shredder day. So I ended up having more smoothies than I've ever had while my friends at work had Hawaiian BBQ. Yay.....
Daily Intake:
(7:30) Meal 1: √ fruit smoothie
(9:00) Snack-ish: Lrg iced coffee with 1/4 cup half n half and some sugar

(1:30) Snack 1: √ 1 cup grape tomatoes
(3:30) Meal 3: √ fruit smoothie
(5:00) Snack 2: ✕ - skipped 1 cup Cheerios
(7:30) Meal 4: ◉ 1/2 can of Tomato Rotini soup 10 wheat thins
Water: √ 64 oz
Exercise: 40 minutes cycling + resistance strength training
