Michael and I both agreed that last week’s breakfast were a huge gut-bomb. In order to get 30+ grams of protein in for breakfast like the diet plan instructs, we were eating 3 egg white, 1 egg scrambled plus multiple turkey sausage links or bacon and black beans. It was huge and sat heavy (not in a good way) for hours.<\/p>\n

This week we are trying something different. A few times this week we are having 2 scrambled eggs and we’ll split a steak. It sounds like a lot but it really isn’t. We ate 2.5 ounces of steak (grass-fed from Trader Joe’s) and that got us to the 30+ grams of protein we needed without making us feel sick!<\/p>\n

BREAKFAST:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

2.5 ounces of steak<\/p>\n

2 scrambled eggs<\/p>\n

Salsa and sour cream<\/p>\n

Coffee w\/creamer (thank goodness!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SNACK:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Original Babybel Cheese<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI figured this would be okay to eat on the diet because it has zero sugar and zero carbs in it. I kind of wished I had some almonds or cashews to go with the cheese but I’d forgotten them at home.<\/p>\n

LUNCH:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Caesar Salad with<\/p>\n

Blackened chicken (1\/2 breast)<\/p>\n

Broccoli<\/p>\n

1\/2 an avocado<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael totally nailed the blackened chicken breast and it was so delicious with the Caesar salad!\u00a0 I should have brought some more veggies to go on the salad to try and increase my fiber intake for the day but I didn’t think about it (and honestly my salad was so big I don’t know that I needed<\/em> more food).<\/p>\n

DINNER:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

1\/2 Lamb Steak<\/p>\n

Green Beans<\/p>\n

Cucumber, Tomato, Mozzarella Salad<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI made us a salad of chopped cucumber, sliced Roma tomato and the last slice of fresh mozzarella cubed up. Add a little salt and pepper, oil and balsamic and that was it! Easy and so tasty!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI hadn’t planned on having steak twice in one day, but the way our leftovers worked out that’s what we did. \ufeffSince Michael and I ended up splitting the lamb steak Sunday night, we had to split the other one Monday night too. Poor planning on our part but it was a good dinner. The lamb turned out even better than it was on Sunday night. Dinner was really low in calories but it filled me up just enough. In retrospect, I should have also steamed some broccoli to go along with the steak and beans. Next time! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Calories:\u00a0\u00a0 400 \u00a0 \u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Carbs: 22g \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Protein: 29g\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fiber 8g<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m finding it difficult to really find any motivation to stay on this much longer. I just feel “blah” about the whole thing. Had I lost some weight like Michael did last week? This week might be another story. But I’m trying to stay on it to support Michael.<\/p>\n

TOTALS FOR THE DAY:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

QUESTION: How do you not lose steam on a diet? For some reason this one doesn’t appeal to me, but the counting calories worked really well.<\/em>
