So this is really the official countdown to my next trip to MEPS. 20 days until I head back. I will be (probably) be spending the eve of my birthday in a hotel room with a complete stranger, nervous as heck for the 4 am wake up call. So, here is the game plan:
For the next 10 days, I will be on an extremely low carb diet. I'll toss in some fruit for nutrition, but mainly salads and protein!
Day 11 is Thanksgiving. I'm giving myself one day to ENJOY. I get to enjoy food, a REGULAR pepsi, and of course my family!!
Day 12 on...THIS is when I warn people, I may not be me! When I get hungry, I get cranky. Have you ever heard of the HCG diet? Well, I strongly recommend to NOT do it...unless this is your third trip to MEPS and it's come down to drastic mesures. Here's what the diet entails:
For breakfast you can have Coffee or tea, no sugar.
Lunch and Dinner: 100 grams (about 3.5 oz) of lean protein and one serving of vegetables
For the following, I can either combine it with lunch and/or dinner, OR I can have it as a snack inbetween meals. Which ever, I get to have one Grissino breadstick (those super thin ones) or one piece of melba toast, AND an apple, an orange, a handful of strawberries OR half a grapefruit.
So yeah, don't do this diet, because as soon as you're done, you'll gain it back! I gave it a try this summer to test it out, and I lost about a pound to pound and a half a day!! My goal is to really enjoy this Christmas season...but I want it to be my last at home for a while, it's definitely time to go.
Anyway...20 days. Just gotta stay strong, and with all my friends and family around, I'm confident I'll be able to make it through!!
