Day 62

Today is the second day after I finished the protocol and tomorrow I begin maintenance. They said we have to eat like we ate on  the program for 2 days after. Tomorrow I'm kinda nervous about the way that I'm going to eat, because I have to increase my calories to 1200. On the program I've been eating around 800 and that's been a good amount of food. Here's what I'm thinking of eating tomorrow for day 1 of maintenance:

Breakfast: 
3 slices of turkey bacon - 90 cal
1 Banana - about 105 cal


Snack: Orange - 37 cal

Lunch: 
4 oz turkey burger - 180 cal
1 1/3 cup of peas- about 140 cal
Apple- 44 cal

Snack:
Apple - 44 cal
Bouari Bar** (I will explain below!) - 190 cal

Dinner: 
6 oz of baked chicken drumsticks - about 225 cal
Spinach leaf Salad with Roma tomato & 1 package of fat free Italian dressing - 30 cal
1 cup of green beans - 90 cal

Total - 1175!


This is the first time in my life that I'm saying that eating more is going to be a challenge for me!! In additon, I put asterisks by Bouari Bar! I got some from the clinic yesterday and they are soooo good! They said we can use them if we are in a hurry in the morning and don't have time to make breakfast, and I think I'm going to use them as snacks sometimes too, to get my calories up! I have the Coconut Almond flavor! So yummy! Well if you all have any suggestions of what I could eat to get my calories to 1200 every day, please let me know! I definitely need help EATING MORE ;))

Bouari Clinic Day 60: VLOG #6

Day 60

Still at 40 pounds today but thats ok because at least I didnt gain anything lol!! I had to reschedule my appt until tomorrow! I will be going on maintenance for 3 weeks then starting back up! Even though I cant take the spray on maintenance, I will still use the appetite support pill and the vitamin b12! And I'm gonna be working out a lot. In addition, just because I'm done with the program, I will still be blogging like normal, I'm not just gonna disappear on you all, because you've all been so great to me! We can do this together!!


EDIT: I will not be using the pills or vitamin! I am gonna try to do it on my own!!

Recipes & Extras :)

This Gum is Apple pie flavored and I swear when it feels like I wanna snack, I chew a piece of this sugar free gum and it makes me forget that I even wanted something! It tastes just like pie so my mom and I have it for dessert and we joke around and say "are you ready for dessert, only one slice OK?" hahaha.

I cooked this yesterday. Un-breaded chicken tenderloins! I seasoned with Onion Powder, Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb, Grill Mates Barbeque seasoning, and Oregano! Then I chopped up green onion, celery, and red pepper! Then I let it cook for an hour! In addition, I had some Green beans that I seasoned with the Bragg's Liquid Amino's (substitute soy sauce found in the book!!) and some garlic pepper! Then sliced some tomato! Tastes great with chicken! In addition, you can have 4 tenders because thats only 132 calories!!

  

If you're in a hurry one day, go to subway and ask for a sub without the bread, and watch them look at you like you are crazy hahaha. I went to subway a week ago and asked for the roast beef without the bread and the lady took 2 minutes to understand why haha. Then she wrapped it all like it was a real sandwich hahahaha! So I got lettuce, tomato, cucumber, jalepenos, banana peppers, and green pepper! Then I topped it with spicy mustard! Yum!!

Chicken breast with green beans and slice tomato! Best combo ever haha! Cook this chicken recipe like the one above for great flavor!

8 week update!!!

I'm at 40 pounds loss this morninggggg! So excited!!! 10 pounds from my first goal!! God is good.

Making a Change

38+ days ago, I would have never dared to share what I would eat when I went out to eat. It was embarrassing and after I ate I would feel unworthy, disgusted, sick to my stomach (greasy food), and ashamed that I ate so much. I thought I would share with you all the food that I used to eat, and I promised myself I could never and would never go back to that routine. Take note that whatever I listed at that restaurant is what I ate in ONE SITTING.

McDonalds
 -- 2 McDoubles, large frie, and large strawberry shake OR large coke
Raising Canes Chicken Fingers
 --6 Chicken fingers, 2 Texas Style Toast, 2 sauces, large fries, and large sweet tea
Famous Dave's BBQ
--1 rack of rib, corn bread, chicken, beans, fries, and a margarita
Chipotle
 --Steak Burrito with lettuce, beans, rice, corn, salsa, guacamole and large bag of Tortilla chips w/ Guac
Wendy's
--10 Spicy nuggets, large chocolate frosty, 1 double decker burger, and large chili w/ crackers
 Churches Chicken
 -- 4 pieces of fried chicken, 2 cups of fried Okra, fries, 2-3 biscuits and soda
Jack N the Box
 -- 1 Jumbo jack, large fries, 2 tacos, and large strawberry shake
Wing Stop
-- 17 wings (I'm not kidding), large fries, 3 to 6 buttered rolls, and soda
 Pizza Hut
 -- 1/2 large pizza or 1 whole medium pizza, 6-8 wings, bread sticks OR cinnamon sticks, and soda
Chili's
-- Large margarita, Chips and Guacamole, 6 steak fajitas, and Cake w/ ice cream
 Ohana Hawaiian BBQ
--1 pound of (chicken and beef combo), 2 cups of rice, and macaroni salad
 Oyshi's Sushi
--4 to 6 rolls, which is equivalent to about 32 to 48 pieces, and ice cream

After looking at this list, it makes me sad to know I was killing myself like this....At the time the food made me excited to eat it because it was so good, but in the quantities I was eating it in, I could've been dead before 25. I'm grateful that God brought me to the Bouari Clinic so I could change the way I eat, and lead a better lifestyle. Not only was I eating this way, but my mom was eating this way too. We could have killed ourselves. Thank God that I woke up before it was too late. I can't eat like that anymore and I don't want to. In my mind I have always loved myself, but this food made me into a 330 pound 21 year old...That's not the life I want to live anymore and the Bouari Clinic has helped me to eat in a way that will help me live the long happy life that we all want to live.

Exercise

So today I started working out! I was on the treadmill for 20 minutes. I walked 17 of those minutes at 3.0 mph then I jogged 3 minutes at 3.5 mph! Yes I said jog! The best part is that I wasn't out of breath jogging like I used to be. The most I could jog before was less than a minute. I'm gonna add a little treadmill to my program because I've been plateauing a little more often. I'm not sure if I need more activity or not, but its worth a try. In addition, starting yesterday I've added 2 prunes per day to my food because those have really helped me get rid of more waste. Other than today, I've been doing really good with the program, I'm still on my first bottle of spray so I'm really looking forward to starting the next bottle within the next few days. I hope that the prunes and exercise will give me a bang on the scale tomorrow, because my confidence really needs it haha!
