Day 10 - Gwen Stefani

Ooooooh I am a BAD BAD girl. Today was BAD. No gym. I slept right through it. Plus I ate horribly! Sniff!


I should get the p90x video... at least the ab work out one...Hmm!

Breakfast: Bowl of chicken noodle soup, and a cup of Diet Pepsi.

To be fair... or really to try and justify, the bowl and cup weren't all that big.

This is what I threw away. I didn't really have ALL of the soda, just enough to get a taste.

Lunch: The typical lemon pepper tuna with 7 reduced fat Triscuits. 2 hummus eggs.

Snack: Special K Chocolate Chip Cookie bar

1st Dinner: Special K Double Chocolate Meal Bar

2nd Dinner: El Pollo Loco Classic Chicken Burrito, no cheese. (Yes, I had rice AND tortilla! Wah!)

And you know what.... I FEEL FULL!!! sfhdksufhies LET ME BE! Haha.

Day 9 - Gwen Stefani

Jesus, is this diet over yet? I'm kind of getting tired of cereal! It's time to eat real food! My body is like "Okay, seriously? That's enough of that!" 5 more days.

Did more jogging on the treadmill. Got up to almost 30 minutes! Woot! I really pushed myself on this one, mostly because of how I cheated yesterday....I cheated again today too, so it looks like i'll be pushing myself again tomorrow. I also did more ab crunches, more than i could handle. =) 3 sets of 12.


Breakfast: Special K Red Berries cereal

Lunch: 7 Reduced Fat Triscuits and Lemon Pepper Tuna. And 2 hummus eggies! Yum!

Snack: Special K Fruit Crisps

Snack: Special K Bar - Chocolate Chip Cookie

Dinner: Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal with 1 banana and 2 strawberries.

Snack: Fuji Apple

2nd Dinner: BBQ chicken breast (light bbq glaze, size of my fist) and 3 potato wedges, again.

Current weight: 150 lbs.

When I got home I had two more hummus eggs...yummmmm ...I think I want two more, but I will try to resist!

Day 8 - Gwen Stefani


I've been lagging on the cardio. Lame. 15 minutes on the elliptical machine and that's about it. I treated myself to a facial for being so good on my diet, so that's all I did this morning. Then I cheated on my diet twice! Fail on me! I mean it wasn't like I had chocolate cake or anything, but the way they process food nowadays, who knows!

Before "gym": Special K Fruit Crisps

Breakfast: Special K Red Berries cereal with 1 banana

1st Lunch: Herb chicken and potatoes. (It was from our cafeteria. Not the healthiest selection but the chicken looked as if it was rotisserie. I made sure to get the white meat, and the chicken was no bigger than my fist. The chopped potatoes had some kind of oil all over them, I tried to get the driest ones, I had about 5)

2nd Lunch: 7 Reduced Fat Triscuits and Lemon Pepper Tuna. And 2 hummus eggies! Yum!

Snack: Fuji Apple

Snack: Glass of milk, with Special K Fruit Crisps. Grapes.

Dinner: Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal with 1 banana.

2nd Dinner: Herb chicken and potatoes, again.

Current weight: Unknown.

This only means I really need to get on the ball when I go back to the gym tomorrow. Stop being a baby, and get my happy butt back on the treadmill.

Day 6 - Gwen Stefani

Ugh.... Today was horrible! I've never been so HUNGRY!!! I want a big meal!! =(

Went to the gym and did 15 minutes of jogging this time! I'm getting better at it. In all honesty, that's all I did. I was too hungry and tired to focus. After I did the jogging I used an ab and back machine. 3 sets of 10 reps for each. 

THAT'S IT. Haha. 

Before Gym: Fuji Apple

Breakfast: Special K Red Berries cereal with 1 banana. 

Lunch: This was the yum part. I had 7 Triscut crackers (120 Cal.), with StarKist Tuna Creations (Zesty Lemon Pepper flavor - 60 Cal) I added lemon and pepper for MORE zest. Then I had two hard boiled eggs (17 cal x 2 = 34 cal), no yolk, with hummus filling (80 cal)! Yum! Total calories for lunch = approx. 294 Cal.

Snack: Special K Fruit Crisps

Snack: Fuji Apple plus Special K Fruit Crisps

Dinner: Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal with a Banana

Snack: Handful of grapes, then a few baby carrots. 

As soon as I got home from work, I was still hungry. I don't believe in starving yourself. It's not good for you, so I had two more Hummus Eggs. God those are good. 

I really should do a daily calorie counter. Hmm. I might have to go back and edit every post. 

Total weight at the gym: 150 lbs on the daily scale. I lost 4 lbs on that scale so far. Not bad.

Day 5 - Gwen Stefani

When it comes to my days off, I just want to sleep. I work hard during the week, and I feel like I never get any rest, so I try to use these days to my advantage!

I got up at 12:45 pm. It felt great! I went to the gym today to do my official weigh in.

Survey says: 150 lbs!

Not bad. At Christmas I weighed 157. I'll take the 7 pound drop.

I was going to leave but I did a 15 minute jog on the treadmill before I left. I had to get SOMETHING in.

Before gym: Lemon pepper chicken with tomatillo salsa (Green salsa. Organic! Thanks Whole Foods!) with a side of Pinto beans.

After gym: Handful of baby carrots, then a handful of green grapes

Snack/Lunch: Two hard boiled egg whites, with hummus. (To simulate a deviled egg. The hummus I got from Fresh and Easy. it is sooooo good!)

Dinner: Special K Cinnamon Pecan cereal with 1/2 a banana

I honestly havent been that hungry today. I know you're supposed to eat like 5 to 6 times a day, blah blah, and I'm supposed to eat the Special K stuff. But, my schedule was so out of whack, I just ate little things here and there. I'll be back to my original schedule tomorrow, since im back at work.

Current weight: 150 lbs on the weigh in scale. The scale I have been using daily said 151.8 today.

Day 4 - Gwen Stefani

No gym today. It was a day of resting for me. I got lots of sleep in which is good! I'm gonna work on changing what I eat soon, so that everyday doesn't seem so bland, but right now, im doin' alright.

Breakfast: Fuji Apple

Snack: Special K Fruit Crisps

Lunch: Lemon Pepper Chicken with Pinto beans. Side of baby carrots. (I went to the grocery store and picked up one of those pre-made full rotisserie chickens for like $4) I ate 1/2 of the white meat breast. But i definitely overate, so watch the servings! I got a can of pinto beans as well, because I don't know how to make them myself. just be sure to check all cans to see which is nutritionally better for you. Watch the serving sizes!

Snack: Special K Fruit Crisps (These things are addicting haha)

Dinner: Special K Red Berries cereal with 1 banana

In case you were wondering what I've been drinking... it's just water. Ice cold water. Except when I'm having cereal, in which case I'm having 1% milk.

Day 3 - Gwen Stefani

Woke up super early. Did more cardio at the gym. Same thing as usual, jogging for 10 minute rounds. Each time I try to push myself a little longer. The last round, it was a straight 10 minutes, I was tired.

Almost got a full push up in! lol

After gym: El Pollo Loco - Classic Chicken Burrito, only Chicken and Beans. 389 cal. 11g of fat

Snack: Special K fruit crisps.

Lunch: Special K Red Berries cereal with a banana

Snack: Fuji apple

Snack: Special K Fruit Crisps

Snack: 1/2 a Navel orange

Dinner: Special K Cinnamon cereal then snacked on a few baby carrots afterwards.

I have to admit I was hungry at dinner. I wanted a full meal. Badly. But I'm trying to use the 1 meal you get a day during breakfast so I can burn it off during the day. I'm feeling alright though, no crazy relapses or muscle pains yet.

Current Weight: 153 lbs. (I really don't like to weigh myself everyday, but in case some of you do, I will do it so you can see what's going on)

Day 2 - Gwen Stefani

Okay yesterday wasn't that great of a day. I totally slept in and was almost late to work. Working out was a bust. Ah well, it definitely gave my legs a day to rest. I felt a little bit of a burn every time I'd bend down for anything.

The food intake wasn't so hot either. The problem was, I stayed up til 4am. Don't do that! You throw your body out of whack. I felt like I was hungover all day, and I had nothing to drink!

Before work: Special K Fruit Crisps

Lunch: Chicken Burrito - Chicken, Beans, Rice, Green Salsa. (!/2 of it because it was a Med/LG burrito)

Snack: Fuji Apple

Snacked again: Special K Fruit Crisps

Dinner: The other 1/2 of the burrito. PLUS about 3 to 4 oz. of Diet Pepsi. (it was a small cup!)

Bad girl. Bad me! Why!


Feeling good now though. As soon as I got home, I fell asleep. 8:30pm I was out. It is now 5:30 am and I can't wait to hit up this gym. Time to run it off.

My game plan for a couple of weeks, is focusing on Cardio.

Get Fit Challenge- Day 1 - Gwen Stefani

Well, today was an alright start. Got to the gym at 7:30 and did cardio and abs. Not gonna lie to you, I did 20 minute cardio sessions. Which really means 5 minute warm up, 10 minute straight jogging, 5 minute cooldown. Abs I did different variations of situps, and I tried to do a pushup. I got about half way there...

This is gonna be a long journey.

I fell asleep most of the day, because I wasnt feeling well, but this is what I had to eat. They say to plan ahead. I wanted a good dinner to help me step down from my binge eating, so I chose a filling burrito which wasn't too bad. Next time I order it, I'll get it without rice.

Before gym: Fuji Apple
After gym: Special K Fruit Crisps

Lunch: Special K Red Berries cereal with 1 banana

Snack: Orange

Dinner: El Pollo Loco - Classic Chicken Burrito, no cheese. (Chicken, Beans, Rice) About 500 calories.

Current Weight: 154 lbs.
