Ms. Jillian Michaels


So, having embarked on this venture for [I hope] last time I feel pumped, ready and powerful.

And so you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon the book, Making The Cut by Jillian Michaels [bad-ass Biggest Loser trainer]. She vows if you are fit and have less than 20 pounds to lose you can achieve a smoking body in 30 days. Here we go, yes indeed.

I bought it and am on day three of putting it to the test [already I'm exhausted].

No cheat days.

No alcohol.

This is exactly what I need[exclamation mark! exclamation mark!].

According to her plan, I am a "balanced oxidizer" and my diet should consist of:
30% Protein
30% Fat and
40% Carbohydrates

Let's see how I measure up today [today being two days ago - again with the restructuring].

Scrambled egg - 100 [100 - P]
Whole Wheat Cinnamon Raisin Bread with Low-fat Cream Cheese - 90 [70 - C] [20 - P]
Coffee with sugar and vanilla soy milk - 150 [70 - P] [80 - F]
Tangerine - 30 [30 - C]
Chocolate-Covered Frozen Banana - 130 [80 - C] [50 - F]
Taco Bell Steak Supreme Chalupa - 380 [207 - C] [120 - F] [56 - P]
Starbucks Short Non-fat Mocha - 112 [11- F] [85 - C] [27 - P]
Black and White Cookie - 120 [80 - C] [40 - F]
1/2 Ham Sandwich with Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, and Onion - 250 [130 - C] [100 - P] [20 - F]
Blackberries - 20 [20 - C]

Total - 1382
Carbs - 702 [ideal - 552]
Protein - 353 [ideal - 414]
Fat - 321 [ideal - 414]

I didn't realize I ate so many carbs today. Hmm. Better luck tomorrow.

Editor's Note: The following morning I would go on to discover a little bit of weight loss. So, as it turns out those carbs didn't hurt me all that much.
