Week 4 - wow the last 3 weeks have gone seriously quick! I have made it past the first 21 days which as said on Habitforge is how long it takes to form a habit.
This week I am going to cut down on my nightly red wine drinks and perhaps have a drink only once or twice instead of every night. I will continue to use ice packs nightly and drink stacks of water. I will also cut the beans out of my meals for the last meal of the day and just have protein and veggies.
Can't update images from my home pc at the moment so I will do all my updating tomorrow morn.

Work smurk :( Oh it's not that bad ;) Have actually got 2 of my co-workers doing the same diet now, we always ask eachother how we're doing and how was cheat day.
I ate half a tin of 4 bean mix with my egg and chicken this morning and feel like I have heaps more energy than usual - it also filled me up more than my previous breakfasts... MORE BEANS in the morning is GOOD!

Another day... and I am really feeling like I am in a routine now... I no longer think really about the possiblility of me failing - I am really enjoying the food and also the way it makes me feel. It feels so good to go to bed at night knowing how healthy you were that whole day. I love that feeling :)
I haven't got access to my camera at the moment so the next couple of days I will be reusing photographs. Most of my meals are pretty much the same any way. Don't worry I will have my camera back by cheat day so I can take pics of the "food porn" lol :-) Have a great day everyone - be strong and reach your goals!

DAMN YOU Coconut wine, DAMN YOU Alcohol!!... why do you need to be so tasty and make me feel so relaxed when I drink you? YES Last night I gave into temptation and drank a bottle of coconut beach... I'm addicted... Soooo Cheat night last night - Cheat night Sat AGAIN. I think I really need a mid week cheat... it helps get me through.
Last night I played a game called scratches on my PC... it is rated as one of the top 10 scariest PC games of all time ... OMG I almost crapped my pants when I went into the basement and saw a shadow of a boy go past... The music was intense! If you like scary games Play Scratches - Awesome Game!

Yay it's Friday! Last day of work for the week :-) Have my camera back now - so I can keep all my food images up-to-date. Had some refried beans with my eggs this morning... was pretty yum, not as yum as I imagined - think I still prefer my lentils - will have to make another big batch. Don't know what I am going to have for lunch today yet - will have to go down to the supermarket and get some supplies. Perhaps a salad again.
Gonna drink LOADS of water today and do my ice pack tonight. Have a great Friday everyone :)
Update: OK screwed up tonight - a freind rang and invited me over for drinks - sooo I had another treat night... I feel like crap. I need to stop being tempted so easily :(

Question - why are you cutting the beans out at night?

Hey, I am cutting them - because I feel I don't need them at night time, the slow carbs are for energy, and I really feel I don't need them at night time... I am making sure I have lots for the first 2 meals of the day though so it gets me through. I guess I will just do it this week and see how it goes. :-)

some further information: Tim talks about how legumes are not needed at all but most people can't get enough caloric intake without them. Beans and lentil are more for calories and soluble fiber than for success of the diet.

Hmm...I didn't realize that. Maybe I'll do the same...though I DO have a question. I've been pretty hungry throughout the day. The only thing I can think to snack on is almonds - and I think that's probably a terrible idea. I'm trying string beans and carrots instead. Though, to be honest, I'm dying for something sweet.

I reckon - make sure you have a GOOD serve of beans with brekkie - that should keep you going longer... Craving something sweet - perhaps chew on sugar-free gum or buy diet jelly and make up some for a snack... I love Jelly :-)

I've been trying to avoid sugar substitutes, since Ferriss talks about that a lot.
