30 June 2011

I'm feeling a little better about the strange weight gain thing from last week - like it wasn't somehow my fault or a curse of the gods (or perhaps as Oprah would possibly say, "I was thinking heavy thoughts and that translated to my physical being") I'm now back down to 8 pounds shed, which makes me happy. Four pounds to my initial goal, 33.2 to my final goal.

[Day11 Metabosol]
AM Metabosol Mix (6:30AM)

+ 16 oz water. Not only are the Super Fat Burner pills getting stuck in my throat, the Ca-aspartate gets stuck too. It's really gross and uncomfortable.

(7:00AM)
4 slices bacon, limp (1g, 180cal)
16 oz water
12 oz diet coke with lime

AM Supplements

(10:15AM)
orange Diet Rockstar (2g, 20cal)
Tabasco Slim Jim (2g, 150cal)

(12:30PM)

4 oz (actually, more like 3, but who's counting?) steak (0g, 241cal)
1 can baby corn (4.5g, 53cal)
8oz snow peas (11.45g, 91.6cal)
grape Diet Rockstar (2g, 20cal)

(calorie and carb count before the fall:
22.95g carb
755.6 calories)

I'm a little worried because I just found out that there's an excursion to the Fish for our other student's graduation and send-off. There are *no* low carb options there, with the exception of water...

...and indeed reason to worry.
2 imperial pints of Hodgson's IPA (38.1g, 583cal - I guessed this based on figures for some other IPAs with similar alcohol content, though those were 6.5%min, and this was 5.5%)
2 coconut prawns (8.9g, 217.6cal)

by the way, my tolerance for alcohol - specifically beer - has plummeted. While I can normally have 2 shots of whiskey and I'm buzzed, I had the equivalent of 2.5 beers and I was *smashed*. I waited a bit and drowned my drunkenness in sushi.

1 cup miso soup (4g, 36cal)
1 Hawaiian poki roll (12.7g, 188cal)
1 spicy scallop hand roll (17g, 117cal)
6-pc salmon nigiri (0g, 246cal)

went home and went soundly asleep - didn't take my evening supplements or PM Metabosol Mix

29 June 2011 - Day 10 Metabosol, Day 9 Induction

I'm now down 7lb. I'm starting to think that the 1-2 shots of whiskey I'm having just before bedtime aren't all that bad -- though I probably should not be mixing that with my 'Metabosol mix'.

The pills are killing me, especially the Super Fat Burner ones - I don't know why they make supplements as big ol' freakin' horse pills because it takes a lot of water to get those puppies to not get stuck in my espohagus. I'm debating whether to pulverize them or not because I wonder if there's also an issue with absorption because they are monster horse pills.

So... at what point of reduced calories, 20-30g of carbs per day, 6-10glasses of water per day and exercise am I going to stop gaining weight!!!? I'm officially 2.5 pounds heavier than I was a week ago - it's not like I have a hormonal excuse or anything. Can't my body defy physics in the other direction!!?
