We have completed our second round of the 7-Day Kickstart Plan. In the Kickstart plan we are allowed 1200 calories a day with one snack, which can be consumed whenever you would like to have it. We both chose to do our snack in the afternoon, around 3 o'clock, because its about halfway between lunch and dinner. Snacks are key in this diet because it prevents between meal binging.
In the second phase of the diet (Immersion Phase) we are allowed to have 1600 calories a day and two snacks. The second snack is usually a "dessert", however; if you have more then ten to fifteen pounds to lose it is recommended that you stay with one snack. We have chosen to stay with one snack, unless we are very under calories (Carrie was today) for the day.
After this weekend both Ashley and Carrie have come to the conclusion that Saturday and Sunday's are the hardest days to stick to a diet. Our schedules are off and we are sitting at home watching the clock and getting up to see whats in the kitchen. We know that we are not hungry, but we are both bored eaters and we just need to "munch". Having the meal plan written out in journals helps, because we know what we can eat. When we have a night that we don't know what we are doing, it makes it really hard to stick to the plan, and very tempting to just run through the drive through and pick up something fast.
The menu for today was a little different for each of us. Breakfast for Ashley was Kashi Crunch with Frozen (fresh) Blueberries and a Banana. Carrie had Banana Walnut Oatmeal. Lunch for Ashley was a Broccoli and Cheese Baked Potato (Wendy's) and Carrie had a Lean Pocket, also broccoli and cheese.......... sorry for the pause but Ashley just saw a Breaking Dawn commercial and started freaking out...kinda funny...... Dinner was a Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apricot Barley Pilaf. Both of us were a little concerned about the pork, Ashley doesn't do well with pork, and Carrie just doesn't eat it. We all really enjoyed it. (Rick and Amanda too)
