Tofu, Veggies and Egg Whites

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.  Well call me insane then.  I'm just not ready to eat 1,300 calories a day.  I'm just not.  There are days that I might hit 1300 but that is never the goal.  Part of me is convinced that my metabolism is screwed up and the other part of me feels like I had been eating way too much to actually destroy a metabolism.  Isn't that how I got in this situation in the first place?  Too much food.  I've discovered Tofu.  It's going to be my new favorite food.  Low calorie, low fat, zero sodium, high protein, low carb and very clean.  The perfect food.  I made it last night with veggies and Teriyaki sauce and it was pretty delicious and filling.  I could have included more vegetables.

Today I plan to eat almost exactly the same thing as I did yesterday.  After yesterday's weigh in I needed a day as close to clean as I get when I'm juicing but without juicing.  Mostly fruits and veggies.  I wanted to eliminate as much dairy and even chicken and "other" stuff as I could to see what it is that might be causing me problems.  Monday was bad with the two Donuts but Tuesday was okay and and then Wednesday was even better.

I'm going to shoot for lower fat days then I have been which means giving up a lot of my beloved cheese.  Instead of Fat/Carbs/Protein at 30/40/30 I'm going to shoot for closer to 25/50/25 with the bulk of my carb being "good" carbs like fruits/veggies/whole wheat's.  Yesterday's weight was the highest EVER! It's really disgusting and even though I think I was retaining a lot of water I felt so awful all day about it.  My goal is to truly stick with this until hubby leaves next month.  That will be my first goal.  Then, to continue it until he gets back.  It's so much easier to focus and eat what I need to eat without him around but I don't want to wait until he leaves because I have a feeling this is going to take a long time.  If it works at all.  I'm going to be eating Tofu and egg whites like they are going out of style and stay away from meat and cheese as much as possible.  I'll get my protein from the egg whites and tofu instead and load up on fruits and veggies.  I'm almost done with the level 3 of shred.  After that I will go back to doing more cardio but I'm definitely going to continue working in the 30DS because I really like it.  I also want to mix in some of my power Yoga and Pilates videos.  Some of which I bought last year but haven't even tried out yet.

I just can't quit.  I don't know why, even though I want to so badly.
