Inspiration

Some people like to post a picture on their wall of a super model or an ideal body they would like to have, but why not edit your own photo, and be your own inspiration? So I edited a picture and I know it looks a little weird, but its inspiring to me to see how I'm GOING to look, once all my hard work has paid off!


Happy Monday! Day 25.

So  today is my 26th day but I was too busy yesterday to write about the official day 25 haha, but I am at 25 pounds lost! Also, I tried some food that I've never tried before. Grilled GROUND chicken! It was super yummy and it was like a burger that was chicken, therefore, a chicken burger haha! I had that for breakfast this morning with egg whites and then I just had it again for lunch with a slice of green bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes! Everything is going really good and my weightloss had plateaued for 2 days last week so I ate apples as snacks for that day, followed by a steak and green veggies for dinner. That eliminated my frustration with the scale and I woke up 1 pound lighter! Hope everyone's day is going great!

Day 23: 21 days not including the 2 binge days

Lost 2 more pounds over night!! At 24 this morning. Breakfast was really good, I had the egg whites that come in a container called "South West Style" and they come with chopped up green peppers, red peppers, and a little seasoning. Not to mention it's only 20 calories per egg! In addition, I had sliced strawberries and an orange vitamin water zero called "Rise." very tasty!

Chili's

I have always loved to eat at Chili's, but now with being on the program, I don't want to eat anything that is going to jeopardize my weight loss. Before the program, I would go there with my mom and we would get the 2 for $35 deal. That includes two margaritas, chips and guacamole dip, and we would choose the Chicken fajitas (you get six!) and we would have a brownie and vanilla ice cream dessert!! I know that's a lot, because when we left we could hardly walk because we were so full. But yesterday was the first time I have been to chili's in 16 days ( I went on the 2nd day of my fat loading day!) and I looked at the "light choice menu!" It was some great looking food on it too. I had a chicken breast with some kind of spicy mixture on it, broccoli and peppers! and 3 glasses of water!! I can definitely see how my ways with food are changing. I'm grateful for the Bouari Clinic, for helping me change my eating habits.

Yummy Recipes

I like to use sea salt and Mostly Onion powder or Garlic Powder, and Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning on all my food!


Stuffed Pepper
This one was really delicious! I stuffed cooked lean beef with orange, yellow and red peppers into a baked green pepper! and on the side I had Okra and green beans!

Instructions
-Take a large green pepper (or any color) cut the seeds and center piece out
-Put pepper in the oven to bake on 350 for 20-25 minutes (while cooking meat)
-Get lean ground beef and season accordingly then break into pieces and put into skillet
-Cut Red, orange, and yellow peppers in 1/2 pieces and put in skillet
-Once meat mixture is done, stuff into bell pepper and put back into oven until the previous 20 minutes is completed.
-Once done, top with Pico De Gallo and Salsa!





                                                      Steak Fajita
This was Top sirloin and shredded bell peppers! The fajita without the tortilla!

Instructions:
-Chop up Top Sirloin steak into 1 inch pieces and season accordingly and place in skillet
-Chop up green, yellow, red, and orange peppers in any combination, into 2 inch strips
-Then cook your peppers in a separate skillet and season with Onion Powder, the taste is amazing!
-Once everything is prepared, Lay your bed of peppers and top with the Steak
-If you want to add salsa that would be more fajita-esque or even Soy sauce for an Asian Inspired dish!

WOW

Goodmorning ladies! Another 2 POUNDSSSSSS!!!! It's starting to be unbelievable when I look at the scale haha can't believe it. 10 pounds gone in 8 days, (6 days not including 2 fat loading days).

Excited

Woke up this morning weighed myself, and I'm down another 2 pounds, so that is 8 pounds!


Dinner was delicious might I add. I cooked 93% lean beef in the skillet with red, orange, and yellow peppers. I seasoned with Onion Powder, Hamburger Time Seasoning, and Mrs. Dash Table Blend. Meanwhile, I had a large green pepper baking in the oven (take out the center and the seeds first) then I stuffed the meat inside. In addition I have green beans as a side vegetable dish. Never had the stuffed pepper recipe before, but it was sooo good and I can't wait to make it again. I was afraid that with a new "diet" program, you have to give up the foods that taste good. NOT TRUE. Everything I've eaten has great flavor and I actually want to eat it.

Day 6

Hello everyone! I have been on the program for 6 days now, or 4 days not including the binge days and I'm already down 6 pounds! For the first time in my life, I look forward to checking the scale FIRST THING, every morning that I wake up. The great news about that is there's a different number every morning!!

Weighing Less, Day 4, Diet Day 2!

I weighed myself first thing this morning (after using the bathroom) and I have lost 4 POUNDS over night. Now this is exciting to me, because I haven't worked out at all besides day-to-day walking around, and I've cut my portions back. Basically eating smaller portions has allowed the Advantage spray and the Appetite support pill to take extra energy from my body (fat storages) in order to nourish my body. I feel very energized and I'm very excited to see that I've loss PURE FAT not just all water weight. I'm finally convinced that this stuff really works!!!!

Bouari Clinic Day 3: Diet Day 1

Ok ladies! I've been on the protocol for 3 days now. The first two days were the binge days or "fat loading" days, and today was the first day of the diet. I've been taking the Advantage spray, the Vitamin B-12 drops, and today i started taking the appetite support pills and they helped me stay full longer and I loved it. Below is a little preview of what I ate today:


Breakfast: 2 egg whites, seasoned with onion powder and garlic powder
Snack: 1 cup of cantalope
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad
Snack: 1 cup of strawberries, sweetened with Stevia (Natural sweetener, unlike Splenda or real Sugar cane)
Dinner: 8 oz of Top Sirloin, seasoned with Mrs. Dash Table Blend Seasoning, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, and soy sauce, Broccoli, and Romaine lettuce salad
Snack(Dessert)- Vanilla Baked Apple






I have found in my book, given to me by the Bouari Clinic, a delicious alternative to sugary desserts.


Vanilla Baked Apple:
-Cut your apple down the middle, in half
-Core the apple by taking out the seeds and making a pit-like hole
-Mix 1 tbsp of cinnamon, 1 tbsp of water, and 10-15 drops of Vanilla flavored Stevia
-Take the mixture and put in the core of apple
-Sprinkle cinnamon and vanilla drops over apple
-Bake for 25 minutes on 350!
-ENJOY!!!!




Anyways, I'm getting through the day, and I've felt energized all day and FULL! Until next time.

Binge day 1 review

I can honestly say Day 1 of the "fat loading" was a piece of cake. You're supposed to eat 50% more of what you normally eat, to prepare your body for the actual diet. For breakfast I had 3 pieces of toast with lots of butter and a pear. For my 1st snack I had 2 mini reese's buttercups. Lunch I had 3 pieces of fried chicken and spaghetti with extra sauce. For my 2nd snack I had an apple with 4 tbsp of peanut butter. Lastly for dinner I had chicken fajitas with lots of GUACAMOLE (fatty), cheese (super fatty), and sour cream (extra fatty) hahaha. Then my last snack was cheesecake. Ok!!! and I had a sweet treat from dairy queen lol...You beat it out of me! But all of this was good for the binge day. I did my last 3 sprays at 11pm because you do it before bed, but I'm up watching movies and blogging! Hopefully I lost some fat today, regardless of eating all that. AND the funny part is, I didn't even want to eat!!! My brain for the first time in my life was actually telling me that I DIDN'T want any food. (????) I know... that's pretty amazing, because I always want to eat even when I'm not hungry. So I think this stuff is working already. PLUS I haven't experienced any side effects because all the ingredients are natural or homeopathic. Well I'm gonna call it a night! I'll let you know what my scale tells me in the morning!!
