Net 100 diet Day 1: Maybe a Valentines day start was a bad idea

Alright, so note to self, Valentines day is probably not the best day to start a diet.  I was good all day however until I got home from work and the wife surprised me with an awesome dinner that had chicken, rice, and sauteed veggies.  That doesn't sound too bad, including since I was good the entire day.  However we did have dessert as well, chocolate dipped strawberries.  Below I'm going to list what I ate (not including my meal with Kate haha).  The good news however?  I still lost weight and I'm down to 195.4 this morning.  It looks like my morning exercise routine kicked into gear yesterday.

This again does not include my meal with Kate.  So if we look at this we can see that I had 94 carbs, but 19 fiber.  So in total I had 25 net carbs still to work with.  Something tells me since I had brown rice and melted down chocolate chips I didn't get too far over that 100 mark and it has showed this morning.

Workout:

For my morning workout yesterday I did the following:
40 side crunches
20 bicycle
20 reverse crunches
40 regular crunches
2 reps of 16 shoulder press at 60 and 80 pounds
2 sets of bicep curls using a tension band
and playing around with an 8 pound medicine ball.

Net 100 Diet

For the next month I am going to be doing my new diet that I have created called the Net 100 diet.  Over the past year I have really studied dieting and nutrition and I feel that this is the best way to really lose weight.  You still get your fiber, your fats that your body needs, and enough energy to perform.  So over the next month I'm going to be showing a day by day comparison on what I eat, how much I weigh and how much energy I have in the morning, afternoon, and evening.  I hope as you follow along we are able to see progress.  If you decide you want to try this diet I will help you and would love if we kept track of your progress as well.

Net carbs are the carbs that are left behind after you take out fiber and alcohol sugar.  However to be honest I personally stay away from alcohol sugars.  These are your names that end normally with a -tol like maltitol.  If you want something that's a good substitute for sugar I recommend Stevia or Truvia.

So as of today I started at 196.6, tomorrow I will post what I ate, amount of carbs/calories/fats and we'll see where I stand in a month!  

I use to eat that #2

Its still crazy to really look at the things I use to eat compared to how I eat now a days.  I'm going to visit one of my favorite meals that I was able to eat all in one setting.  My favorite restaurant called Old Number 3 up in Ronald, Washington.  On the menu was a meal that was great tasting and came with a lot of food called "The Motherload."  This was one huge burger (2 patties) that came with 2 pounds of french fries and onion rings.  So let's break this old fav of mine down.  I know this isn't going to be 100% accurate because I can't find a menu online, however it is going to be pretty close.

Calories..........................2361
Carbs.............................271
Fat.................................110
Cholesterol.....................170

And that was just one meal for the day, oh man.

2 years ago

Two years ago on my birthday I was weighing in at 260 pounds.  This morning I was at 191.  That is a difference of 69 pounds in just two years, most of it come from last year.  It can show you that anything is possible.  On top of that I fit into size 32 pants today, two years ago I was in 42's.  I can only imagine what this has done for my heart, my health, and my life.  Great things are yet to come as well!

I used to eat that?

I decided it would be fun and interesting to reflect in different blogs things I used to eat at one sitting.  It is no wonder I use to be a big boy.  I thought not only would this be an interesting look back at the way I was, but also a good way for people to see just exactly what they may be putting into their body.  So for starters, a few nights ago I decided to have a little bit of mac and cheese with a turkey dog.  It brought back memories of what I used to eat.

1 box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.  2 Bar S Hot Dogs..

Total Calories                             1290
Total Fat                                       38g
Saturated Fat                                13g
Cholesterol                               175mg
Sodium                                   4150mg
Carbs                                          184g

That is one scary meal, including looking at the sodium.  Makes me very happy that I changed my ways.
