Another Day...Another Diet

Almonds, string cheese, and apples...Oh My!  So as you may have guessed from the title, I have embarked on a new meal plan.  I started with my new trainer today, and while my time with her will be short lived, I find no reason as to why I shouldn't at least give her plan a try.  She seemed nice enough and was somewhat receptive to my training rules:

1. No Jumping - this is non-negotiable and I will kick you in the shins should you try to force me into lateral movement of any kind.
2. I don't eat fish - don't even try to convince me that it is delicious and healthy. I got fat in the first place because I don't like healthy food and the mere smell and thought of seafood makes me gag
3. I don't care that Milk does a body good, I am not going to consume it, so you will save yourself a lot of time and energy if you accept this now instead of later.  If I had previously cared about doing good to my body I would have laid off the cheesecake and ate broccoli instead! 

Having made that clear, we started my work out.  I can tell that I may need to come up with some more rules because I soon found myself doing 4 sets of 30 reps at each station.  I am positive this activity was violating some rule...oh yes... the "Moody Family Rule" - which states "If you can't put gas in it, use batteries, or plug it in...we don't do it!" ~ J. Moody.  Due to my clear violation of this sacred, family rule my shoulders may never forgive me! I am pretty sure that some of the things she had me doing have been outlawed by the Geneva convention and I know I would prefer water boarding.  Somehow the idea of drowning currently sounds more appealing than doing one more curl or chest press. Just saying.


She also switched up my diet. So....drum roll please....the new menu:

Breakfast: Protein Shake or Eggs
Snack: Apple and Lowfat String Cheese
Lunch: Ham Sandwich or Grilled Chicken Salad with Wish Bone Spritzer Dressing (1 calorie per spray)
Snack: 12 Whole Almonds and Small Piece of Fruit
Dinner: 4 oz of Chicken or Turkey, 1 cup Green Veggies, and  1/2 cup Brown Rice or Pasta
Evening Snack (optional): Protein Shake

I am going to try it out and see if this helps with my weight loss.  I am only training 2 days a week now so my cardio will be amped up to 4 days a week instead of 3.  I am still anxious and excited to start working with Jonathan again in a couple of weeks, but I figure I can learn something from Brandee and hopefully become a stronger individual by taking the best from each of the two trainers I have worked with.  As long as no one makes me jump...
