Day 4-I LOST 6 POUNDS IN THREE DAYS!!!!!

6:45am-I'm awake! I'm awake! No Before Breakfast workout for one reason: Just read an article in REAL SIMPLE magazine, that my best friend let me borrow, that said, "Working out on an empty stomach won't burn more fat. A common belief is that if you exercise before you eat, your body will turn to its fat reserves for energy instead of the food in your stomach. In fact it's just the opposite: The authors of the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism theorize that when you eat before exercising, your body uses more oxygen, resulting in a metabolism spike and improvement in fat burning.

What I Put in My Mouth

9:23AM-BREAKFAST

2 slices of Dave's Killer Bread 130 cals

1 slice turkey breast 55 cals

1 slice Muenster cheese 80 cals

2 tomato slices 5 cals

1 leaf of butter lettuce 1 cal

2 slices red peppers 2 cals

2 tbsp French's Classic Yellow mustard 0 cals

24oz. water 0 cals

TC=273 cals, TRC=927 cals

COMMENTS: Subway's got nothin' on my homemade turkey sandwich with butter lettuce, mustard, salt/pepper and crunchy veggies! The bread really makes it, though. If you haven't tried Dave's, you haven't had a real slice of bread. I can't believe I designed a custom sandwich for under 300 calories!

1:13PM-LUNCH

10 Tyson Any'tizers Popcorn Chicken 255 {I ate three before taking the picture:)}

2 cups watermelon 96 cals

1 tbsp Kraft Honey Mustard dipping sauce 55 cals

24 oz. water 0 cals

TC=406 cals, TRC=521 cals

COMMENTS: You have GOT to try this popcorn chicken from Tyson, it tastes like a restaurant style appetizer (tender all white meat chicken with just enough batter to give it a light crispy coating--it was baked but you would swear it was deep fried); pair it with a fruit or/and veggie and you've got yourself a meal! If I play my cards right, I'll put together a 300 cal dinner so I can have 220 left for a late night treat! I'm thinking soup with a turkey rollup, hmmm?

6:51PM-DINNER

6 Aqua Star (from Fred Meyer) large coconut butterfly shrimp

+ 1 tbsp sweet chili dipping sauce 260 cals

1/2 medium banana 50 cals

24 oz. water 0 cals

TC=310 cals, TRC=211 cals

So I won't go over my Total Caloric Intake of 1200 cals, I will opt NOT to eat the 1/2 cup of vanilla icebcream. I decided to have a Skinny Cow instead and it didn't break the calorie bank!

8:51PM-NIGHT TIME TREAT

TC=120 cals, TRC=91 cals
