Has anyone heard of the 3 Day Military Diet?!

This is a 3 days on, 4 days off deal. It promises results (don't they all...) so my roommate and I figured why the heck not? So for the next three days, we will be eating the follow:

Day 1 [ Drink lots of water and tea is allowed]

Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit, 1 whole wheat toast, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and tea
Lunch: 1/2 cup of tuna, 1 toast and tea
Dinner: 3 oz. of meat (we chose oven-roasted turkey), 1 cup of green beans, 1/2 banana, 1 small apple and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream

[ side note: What kind of diet lets you eat ice cream?! Apparently this one does and it made my little fatty heart be filled with joy! ]

Day 2 [Drink only water!]

Breakfast: 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 whole wheat toast and 1/2 banana
Lunch: 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 hard-boiled egg and 5 saltine crackers
Dinner: 2 hot dogs, 1 cup of broccoli, 1/2 cup of carrots, 1/2 banana and 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream

Day 3 [ Drink only water!]

Breakfast: 5 saltine crackers, 1 slice of cheddar cheese and 1 small apple
Lunch: 1 hard-boiled egg and 1 whole wheat toast
Dinner: 1 cup of tuna, 1/2 banana and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream

So there it is, folks. If I die from hunger before the end of three days, just know I love you all. (JK, but seriously...)

Has anyone else tried it? 
Stay posted for updates these next three days!

XOXO,
Victoria

Push yourself!!

Today is the 4th gym day in a row!
Believe or not, that's a big deal for this chick.
It's actually getting to the point where I look forward to going.
I want the challenge.
I like getting all sweaty and pushing myself go further and harder.

If this chubby girl can do it, you definitely can.
I don't care what your weight is.
What your age is.
Whether or not you've ever exercised in your life.
PUSH YOURSELF!

When you've been on that elliptical for ten minutes and you want to stop...
Make yourself go until the timer says eleven minutes.
And then once it hits eleven minutes, guess what....
Make yourself go twelve minutes!
It's all about the baby steps!
If you don't want to go by minutes, go by calories.
I make myself burn atleast 350 and then push myself til it reads 400.

On another note, today was the first day of my semester.
I had to go to my internship and work.
It was kind of a taste of the "real world".
I liked it!!

After my internship and work, I met my housemate at the gym and then we went grocery shopping for healthy foooood.... (never go shopping on an empty stomach, for reals). I bought:

Fruit. Lots and lots of fruit.
Greek Yogurt.
Oatmeal.
Lean frozen dinners.

What are your favorite healthy foods??

XOXO,
Victoria
